PATTERNED GENE EXPRESSION. “The anterior-posterior axis of bilaterians is known to be patterned by staggered Hox expression domains. In cnidarians, Hox expression domains are similarly staggered along the oral-aboral axis. The dorsal-ventral axis of bilaterians is patterned partially by the asymmetrical expression of dpp/BMP4. Likewise, dpp is expressed asymmetrically relative to directive axis of sea anemones.”
