Conservation, loss, and redeployment of Wnt ligands in protostomes: implications for understanding the evolution of segment formation

BACKGROUND: The Wnt genes encode secreted glycoprotein ligands that regulate a wide range of developmental processes, including axis elongation and segmentation. There are thirteen subfamilies of Wnt genes in metazoans and this gene diversity appeared early in animal evolution. The loss of Wnt subfa...
