Lysenin family proteins in earthworm coelomocytes – Comparative approach
Sphingomyelin-binding proteins of the lysenin family were originally identified in earthworms belonging to the genus Eisenia comprised of at least two distinct species, E. andrei and E. fetida, until recently considered subspecies or morphotypes of E. foetida (sic).

Apostichopus japonicus is one of the few animals that can synthesize saponins. Present understanding of saponin biosynthesis is often limited to genome analysis, leaving the precise mechanism still unclear. This study examined the potential role of a gene annotated as farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPS) in saponin biosynthesis of A. japonicus.

Multigenome DNA sequence conservation identifies Hox cis-regulatory elements [PDF]
To learn how well ungapped sequence comparisons of multiple species can predict cis-regulatory elements in Caenorhabditis elegans, we made such predictions across the large, complex ceh-13/lin-39 locus and tested them transgenically. We also examined how
