    Genetic parallels in biomineralization of the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum and stony corals

    Oliver Voigt, Magdalena V Wilde ... Gert Wörheide
    Discovery of calcarins in calcareous sponges highlights gene duplication and neofunctionalization as drivers of parallel biomineralization, offering insight into the independent evolution of calcification in early-diverging animals.
