Cnidaria are the most basal animal phylum in which smooth and striated muscle cells have evolved. Since the ultrastructure of the mononucleated striated muscle is similar to that of higher animals, it is of interest to compare the striated muscle of Cnidaria at the molecular level to that of triplob

An antiserum to transdifferentiated striated muscle cells from the medusa of Podocoryne carnea was prepared and used to screen a λ gt11-expression library prepared from gonozoids of P. carnea. We isolated a cDNA clone termed Pod-EPPT with at least 63 tandem repeats of the tetrapeptide-motive glu-pro
## Abstract Linkage analyses in metazoan genomes suggest two ancestral arrays for the majority of homeobox genes. The related homeobox genes and chromosomal regions that are dispersed in extant species derived possibly from only two single common ancestor regions. One proposed ancestral array, desi
Knotted (Kn) genes are expressed within restricted domains of the plant meristems and play a key role in the control of plant morphogenesis. We have isolated the Knrelated gene Meis2 in mouse, which labels the lateral somitic compartment and its derivatives during early mouse embryogenesis and later
