The sea urchin genome reveals large domains of biology heretofore unexplored at the genome level, as this is the first nonchordate deuterostome sequence. The sequence will accelerate progress toward complete understanding of the genomic regulatory system that controls developmental specification and morphogenetic function, thus illuminating basic developmental process in all animals.
海胆基因组揭示了此前在基因组水平上尚未探索的大片生物学领域,因为这是首个非脊索动物后口动物的序列。该序列将加速全面理解控制发育特化和形态发生功能的基因组调控系统的进程,从而阐明所有动物的基本发育过程。
