Transcriptome-based phylogeny of the echinoderm class Ophiuroidea
Partial transcriptomes from adult tissue for representatives of the ophiuroid (brittlestars, basketstars) families -
Ophiomastix wendtii Transcriptome or Gene expression
To better understand the phylogeny of extant echinoderms and the placement of Xyloplax, we employed RNA-Seq to retrieve large numbers of orthologous loci from each transcriptome... -
Brittlestar vision
Ophiocoma wendtii was demonstrated to exhibit light-response, and we want to know the mechanisms behind the response. -
