Expression patterns of candidate genes identified by paralogy-orthology analysis in B. lanceolatum. In situ hybridization at several developmental stages for B. lanceolatum candidate genes identified after paralogy analysis with new amphioxus vPNS gene: Asic.a (A–E); or orthology analysis with candidate genes identified in ascidian by RNA-seq: HairyB (F–I), HairyC (J–N), HairyD (O–T), HairyE (U–Y), HairyG (Z–D’) and Nherf (E’–I’). Genes expressed in the ventral neurogenic field are represented by a blue circle and genes expressed in ESNs by a purple circle. Embryos are shown in lateral view with dorsal to the top and anterior to the left. Scale bar: 50 μm
