  text: Brachyury, a member of T-box gene family, is widely known for its major role
    in mesoderm specification in bilaterians. It is also present in non-bilaterian
    metazoans, such as cnidarians, where it acts as a component of an axial patterning
    system. In this study, we present a phylogenetic analysis of Brachyury genes within
    phylum Cnidaria, investigate differential expression and address a functional
    framework of Brachyury paralogs in hydrozoan Dynamena pumila. Our analysis indicates
    two duplication events of Brachyury within the cnidarian lineage. The first duplication
    likely appeared in the medusozoan ancestor, resulting in two copies in medusozoans,
    while the second duplication arose in the hydrozoan ancestor, resulting in three
    copies in hydrozoans. Brachyury1 and 2 display a conservative expression pattern
    marking the oral pole of the body axis in D. pumila. On the contrary, Brachyury3
    expression was detected in scattered presumably nerve cells of the D. pumila larva.
    Pharmacological modulations indicated that Brachyury3 is not under regulation
    of cWnt signaling in contrast to the other two Brachyury genes. Divergence in
    expression patterns and regulation suggest neofunctionalization of Brachyury3
    in hydrozoans.
