Morphological and dietary changes encoded in the genome of Beroe ovata, a ctenophore-eating ctenophore. [PDF]
NAR Genom BioinformAbstract As the sister group to all other animals, ctenophores (comb jellies) are important for understanding the emergence and diversification of numerous animal traits. Efforts to explore the evolutionary processes that promoted diversification within Ctenophora are hindered by undersampling genomic diversity within this clade.

The early expansion and evolutionary dynamics of POU class genes. [PDF]
, 2014 The POU genes represent a diverse class of animal-specific transcription factors that play important roles in neurogenesis, pluripotency, and cell-type specification. Although previous attempts have been made to reconstruct the evolution of the POU class,
