Description
Summary:This work was supported by a Ph.D. studentship awarded to Dean C. Semmens by Queen Mary University of London. Sequencing of the O. victoriae and A. mediterranea transcriptomes was funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NE-C300-62202-3215; British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge). This research was also supported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Center based at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the NHS, the NIHR or the Department of Health. We are very grateful to Dr. Timothy O’Hara and Dr. Andrew Hugall (Museum Victoria, Melbourne, VIC, Australia) for providing access to their echinoderm transcriptome sequence data.
