“…Several biological aspects of adult holothurians have been investigated using RNAseq-based approaches. A series of studies performed differential gene expression analysis of A. japonicus subjected to environmental changes such as different light stimuli [ 90 ], different salinity conditions [ 173 ], and copper exposure [ 87 ]. Because sea cucumbers show the remarkable ability of quickly replacing injured organs, transcriptomes have been generated on H. glaberrima, E. fraudatrix , and A. japonic us during gut evisceration and regeneration [ 44 , 115 , 123 , 124 , 136 , 144 , 145 ], radial organ complex regeneration [ 109 ], and muscle regeneration [ 111 ].…”

A challenge for evolutionary developmental (evo-devo) biology is to expand the breadth of research organisms used to investigate how animal diversity has evolved through changes in embryonic development. New experimental systems should couple a relevant phylogenetic position with available molecular tools and genomic resources. As a phylum of the sister group to chordates, echinoderms extensively contributed to our knowledge of embryonic patterning, organ development and cell-type evolution. Echinoderms display a variety of larval forms with diverse shapes, making them a suitable group to compare the evolution of embryonic developmental strategies. However, because of the laboratory accessibility and the already available techniques, most studies focus on sea urchins and sea stars mainly. As a comparative approach, the field would benefit from including information on other members of this group, like the sea cucumbers (holothuroids), for which little is known on the molecular basis of their development. Here, we review the spawning and culture methods, the available morphological and molecular information, and the current state of genomic and transcriptomic resources on sea cucumbers. With the goal of making this system accessible to the broader community, we discuss how sea cucumber embryos and larvae can be a powerful system to address the open questions in evo-devo, including understanding the origins of bilaterian structures.
