The developmental transcriptome and epigenome of Owenia fusiformis reveal the development and evolution of mitraria larvae. The developmental transcriptome and epigenome of Owenia fusiformis reveal the development and evolution of mitraria larvae

Owenia fusiformis has a unique mitraria larvae form which is different to other marine spiralians. we utilize RNA-seq and ATAC-seq to profile the gene expression and chromatin accessibility to understand their development and evolution. Overall design: Collected the fresh samples from the zygotes to the juvenile stages, profiling the gene expression; Collected the fresh samples from blastula to competent larvae, profiling the chromatin accessibility.
