Triterpene and Steroid Glycosides from Marine Sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae): Structures, Taxonomical Distribution, Biological Activities

Molecules, 2023
The article is a comprehensive review concerning tetracyclic triterpene and steroid glycosides from sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae). The extensive oxidative transformations of the aglycone and the use of various monosaccharide residues, with up to six ...

Phylomitogenomics bolsters the high-level classification of Demospongiae (phylum Porifera). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Class Demospongiae is the largest in the phylum Porifera (Sponges) and encompasses nearly 8,000 accepted species in three subclasses: Keratosa, Verongimorpha, and Heteroscleromorpha.

First draft genome assembly of sponge Halisarca dujardinii reveals key components of basement membrane and broad repertoire of aggregation factors [PDF]

Scientific Reports
How features characteristic of multicellular animals emerged in evolution is one of the key topics of modern evolutionary biology. We can get closer to answering that question by studying animals that occupy a sister taxon position to all other animals ...

The chromosomal genome sequence of the sponge Crambe crambe (Schmidt, 1862) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Crambe crambe (Porifera; Demospongiae; Poecilosclerida; Crambeidae). The host genome sequence is 143.20 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

The scaffold-level genome sequence of an encrusting sponge, Halisarca caerulea Vacelet & Donadey, 1987, and its associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a scaffold-level genome assembly from a Halisarca caerulea specimen (encrusting sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Chondrillida; Halisarcidae). The genome sequence is 195.70 megabases in span.

Seventeen new complete mtDNA sequences reveal extensive mitochondrial genome evolution within the Demospongiae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Two major transitions in animal evolution--the origins of multicellularity and bilaterality--correlate with major changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) organization.

The chromosomal genome sequence of the carnivorous sponge, Lycopodina hypogea (Vacelet & Boury-Esnault, 1996) (Poecilosclerida: Cladorhizidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual Lycopodina hypogea (carnivorous sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Poecilosclerida; Cladorhizidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 235.10 megabases.
