Project description:we generated new reference genome assemblies for two species belonging to two different echinoderm classes: the bat sea star Patiria miniata and the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
Project description:The affinity of the echinoderm pentaradial body plan with that of the ancestral bilateral symmetry remains one of the biggest zoological puzzle. Here, we revisited this classical zoological problem using RNA tomography and HCR in situ hybridization in the sea star Patiria miniata.
