We have investigated the differences between nuclear genomes of two purportedly congeneric species of sea urchin that differ radically in early development. Heliocidaris tuberculata develops by means of a typical pluteus larva, whereas H. erythrogramma develops directly from an egg that is 100-fold the volume of the H. tuberculata egg. Reassociation kinetic analysis shows that the kinetic components of the genomic DNA from the two species are essentially the same. No single repeat component explains the 30% difference between the H. erythrogramma and H. tuberculata genomes. Reciprocal hybridization of tracer-labeled single-copy DNA fractions between these species indicates that approximately 50% of the single-copy DNA is sufficiently similar to form hybrids at standard hybridization criterion. Thermal denaturation profiles of the hybridized single-copy DNA sequence yields median (T50H) values of 13.8 degrees-16.5 degrees C. This result suggests a divergence time of 10-13 Mya, which is comparable to divergence times between congeneric sea urchin species in other genera that do not differ significantly in development. Radical differences in early developmental processes can evolve rapidly between closely related forms.
