A genome-wide survey of the evolutionarily conserved Wnt pathways in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus

Article Abstract:

A study examines the Wnt genes present in the genome of echinoderm Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. A phylogenetic study of the proteins present in the gene of the organism is discussed.
