Gene co-option, duplication and divergence of cement proteins underpin the evolution of bioadhesives across barnacle life histories

As a group of sessile crustaceans, barnacles establish permanent attachment through initial cement secretion at the larval phase followed by continuous cement secretion in juveniles and adults. However, the origins and evolution of barnacle larval and adult cement proteins remain poorly understood. The research team of Benny K.K. Chan, Research...(more)
