Abstract

Bump, who was then a Stanford University graduate student working with evolutionary biologist Christopher Lowe, focused on the California broken-hearted worm ( I Schizocardium californicum i ), a marine worm found in California mud flats. But to Bump's surprise, many cells - perhaps almost half, including other nerve cells and gut cells - seemed to hang around but switched their repertoire of active genes, taking on different roles in the adult.
