Genetic mechanisms involved in the evolution of the cephalopod camera eye revealed by transcriptomic and developmental studies
BACKGROUND: Coleoid cephalopods (squids and octopuses) have evolved a camera eye, the structure of which is very similar to that found in vertebrates and which is considered a classic example of convergent evolution. Other molluscs, however, possess mirror, pin-hole, or compound eyes, all of which d...
