Abstract: The Wnt gene family is involved in a wide range of developmental processes. Despite its significance, the evolution and function of Wnt genes remain largely unclear. Here, an exhaustive survey of Wnt genes was conducted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dvg.23331
Abstract: Members of the wnt gene family encode secreted glycoproteins that mediate critical intercellular communications in metazoans. Large‐scale genome and transcriptome analyses have shown that this family is composed of 13 distinct subfamilies. These analyses have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00343-018-7132-7
Abstract: Genes encoding Wnt ligands, which have important roles in cell communication and organ development, are restricted to multicellular animals. We systematically studied Wnt genes from eumetazoan genomes, with emphasis on the poorly studied superphylum Lophotrochozoa… read more here.
