Wnt evolution and function shuffling in liberal and conservative chordate genomes

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2018
Background What impact gene loss has on the evolution of developmental processes, and how function shuffling has affected retained genes driving essential biological processes, remain open questions in the fields of genome evolution and EvoDevo.

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Chordate Evolution in a New Light [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2003
Gene expression studies in embryos often provide insights into evolutionary relationships across phyla. In this issue of Cell, Lowe et al. examine the patterning of the bilaterian nervous system by studying gene expression in a hemichordate, the acorn worm.

The unexplored evolutionary history of Nedd genes in metazoans

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Nedds are considered a complex and heterogeneous group of proteins, with disparate and diversified roles within cellular homeostasis through distinct types of reactions.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

The Evolution of Opioid/Orphanin Receptors in Chordates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The interest in the opioid/orphanin gene family stems from functional similarities that these peptides have to the narcotic opium. Opiates have been extensively studied because of their analgesic properties; however, the reason that these plant products ...

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Acoel flatworms are not Platyhelminthes: evidence from phylogenomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Acoel flatworms are small marine worms traditionally considered to belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes. However, molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that acoels are not members of Platyhelminthes, but are rather extant members of the earliest ...
