Genetic parallels in biomineralization of the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum and stony corals
Discovery of calcarins in calcareous sponges highlights gene duplication and neofunctionalization as drivers of parallel biomineralization, offering insight into the independent evolution of calcifica...
