The genome of a sea spider corroborates a shared Hox cluster motif in arthropods with a reduced posterior tagma

Abstract Background Chelicerate evolution is contentiously debated, with recent studies challenging traditional phylogenetic hypotheses and scenarios of major evolutionary events, like terrestrialization. Sea spiders (Pycnogonida) represent the uncontested marine sister group of all other chelicerat...
