Genomes

"One key questions for evolutionary developmental biology (EvoDevo) is to reconstruct the genetic tool-kit present in Urbilateria, the last common ancestor of invertebrates and vertebrates...In the medium-term it will be important to have at least one complete genome from each animal phylum, and in the long-term to reconstruct the archetypal genome of Urbilateria."

— Edward De Robertis (2008)
