Pioneer transcription factors: establishing competence for gene expression. (2011, background): “In the time since the discovery of FoxA and GATA factors in this context, it has become clear that homologs of both factors play crucial roles within a network for gut development that is evolutionarily conserved in all metazoans (Davidson and Erwin 2006).”

An Analysis of the History of Marine Animal Diversity (2007, background): “Instead, it appears to have been difficult for evolution to produce distinctive new body plans after the establishment, early in metazoan history, of complex regulatory gene networks that were fundamental to animal development but evolutionarily inflexible (Davidson and Erwin 2006; Marshall 2006).”

Nuclear architecture of rod photoreceptor cells adapts to vision in mammalian evolution. (2009, background): “Restoration of the conventional pattern therefore should have needed re-adjustment of the regulation network (Davidson and Erwin, 2006) and, respectively, demanded selective pressure for the conventional pattern (see, e.”
The evolution of gene regulation by transcription factors and microRNAs (2007, background): “It is also consistent with an intriguing idea put forward by Davidson [ 7 ] that it is relatively easy to evolve a new miRNA gene that targets a specific sequence motif, but the same is not true of transcription factors, because the sequence specificity of a protein is a complex function of its amin”
AUTECOLOGY AND THE FILLING OF ECOSPACE: KEY METAZOAN RADIATIONS (2007, background): “…developmental biology (‘evo-devo’), which has revealed a rich source of information about highly conserved aspects of metazoan development and allowed insights into the nature of the earliest animals (Knoll and Carroll 1999; Valentine et al. 1999; Erwin and Davidson 2002; Davidson and Erwin 2006).”
Insects have the capacity for subjective experience (2016, background): “…example, the evolution of feathers and flight from dinosaurs to birds (Xu et al., 2014), the role of gene regulatory pathways in animal body plans (Davidson and Erwin, 2006) and the underlying conservation of neural circuitry controlling locomotor behaviour throughout vertebrate phylogeny…”
Gene regulatory network inference in the era of single-cell multi-omics (2023, background): “Uncovering the topology and the dynamics of GRNs is fundamental to understanding how cellular identity is established and maintained 7 , which has important implications for engineering cell fate 8 and for disease prevention 9 .”
