| Abstract | Development is a fundamentally conserved and constrained process, but major changes in development mode have evolved, even across closely related species and short evolutionary time scales. This research investigates the genomic differences that shape developmental evolution by using closely related marine annelid species that exhibit different development modes. The project combines comparative genomics, gene expression, and hybridization assays to uncover the relationship between evolutionary |
