Heterochirality results from reduction of maternal diaph expression in a terrestrial pulmonate snail
BACKGROUND: Spiral cleavage is a feature of non-ecdysozoan protostomes, in which left-right reversal frequently evolved in gastropod molluscs. In pulmonate gastropods, maternal molecules are responsible for chirality patterning, on which the polarities of visceral and coiling asymmetries depend. In...
