Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Unraveling genomic regulatory networks in the simple chordate, Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
, 2005 The draft genome of the primitive chordate, Ciona intestinalis, was published three years ago. Since then, significant progress has been made in utilizing Ciona's genomic and morphological simplicity to better understand conserved chordate developmental ...

A new interpretation of Pikaia reveals the origins of the chordate body plan. [PDF]
Our understanding of the evolutionary origin of Chordata, one of the most disparate and ecologically significant animal phyla, is hindered by a lack of unambiguous stem-group relatives.

Expression of Fox genes in the cephalochordate Branchiostoma lanceolatum
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 Forkhead box (Fox) genes code for transcription factors that play important roles in different biological processes. They are found in a wide variety of organisms and appeared in unicellular eukaryotes. In metazoans, the gene family includes many members

Transforming Life Science Through Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies
Genes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 5, September 2026.Chromosome‐level genome assemblies provide a framework for “glocal biology” in species of interest, linking local molecular features to chromosome architecture and evolutionary context. When integrated with pangenome analysis, comparative multi‐omics, genome language models, and experimental approaches, these assemblies enable hypothesis generation and

The ancient gene C12orf29 : an exploration of its role in the chordate body plan [PDF]
, 2013 The sheep (Ovis aries) is commonly used as a large animal model in skeletal research. Although the sheep genome has been sequenced there are still only a limited number of annotated mRNA sequences in public databases.

The origin and evolution of chordate nervous systems [PDF]
, 2015 In the past 40 years, comparisons of developmental gene expression and mechanisms of development (evodevo) joined comparative morphology as tools for reconstructing long-extinct ancestral forms.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 48, 28 August 2026.Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Non-random decay of chordate characters causes bias in fossil interpretation
, 2010 Exceptional preservation of soft-bodied Cambrian chordates provides our only direct information on the origin of vertebrates. Fossil chordates from this interval offer crucial insights into how the distinctive body plan of vertebrates evolved, but ...

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 16, August 2026.ABSTRACT Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (CVMDs), which are characterized by metabolic dysregulation and cardiovascular impairment, constitute a major global cause of mortality, thus highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS2), a multifunctional adapter protein localized to ...
