“…The GRN that drives skeletogenesis in the sea urchin embryos was extensively studied in the last two decades, resulting in one of the most comprehensive models of developmental GRN [ 15 , 40 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ]. The GRN contains about 20 transcription factors that control a sequence of morphogenetic processes, including epithelial to mesenchymal transition, cell migration and cell fusion [ 15 , 40 , 64 , 65 ].…”
