This research project investigates the evolution of animal body plans by studying the gene regulatory networks in acoel worms. It aims to understand how changes in these networks led to the development of the mesoderm, a key layer in complex animals.
Understanding the evolution of the diversity of animal forms is one of the major tasks in biology.
The use of molecular biology led to a better understanding of how evolutionary changes in the development can result in changes in the body plan.
Modifications of the wiring between genes caused the adoption and co-option of gene regulatory networks that shape the morphology of the adult during the development.
To get a better picture of how these changes led to evolutionary novelties one has to in…
