The math behind evo devo - by NanoRooms

how interacting genes program the body plan

maternal influence genes determine head from tail (polarity)

gap genes determine body parts - head, thorax, abdomen

pair rule genes determine parasegments - switched on or off based on interactions between upper layers of genes

segment polarity genes determine each segment polarity

homeotic selector genes (Hox genes) - determine body parts like wings, legs, antennae - controlled by upper layers (gap, pair rule, segment polarity) (part of a larger group of genes - homeobox genes)

The Body Plan Concept and Its Centrality in Evo-Devo

by Katherine E. Willmore

> Why no new phyla have emerged in the time since the Cambrian explosion is one of biology’s great mysteries. Five major extinction events have occurred since the explosion, offering vacated niches for new body plans to evolve. Still, no new phyla have been observed. For evolutionary developmental biologists, two main questions emerge from this phenomenon: (1) what developmental processes underlie this apparent phylum-level stasis and (2) what developmental processes underlie the evolution of novel features at the class, family, and species levels. The answers to these questions are generally sought under the concepts of constraint and evolvability respectively.
