Coevolution of the CDCA7-HELLS ICF-related nucleosome remodeling complex and DNA methyltransferases
5-Methylcytosine (5mC) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are broadly conserved in eukaryotes but are also frequently lost during evolution. The mammalian SNF2 family ATPase HELLS and its plant ortholog DDM1 are critical for maintaining 5mC. Mutations in

The Opisthokonta and the Ecdysozoa may be clades: An update on Philip et al. (2005) [PDF]
To test the monophyly of Opisthokonta (animal-fungal clade) and Ecdysozoa (nematode-arthropod clade), Philip et al [Mol. Biol. Evol. 22: 1175–1184 (2005)] used sequence data from 10 eukaryotic genomes (an alveolate, a plant, two ascomycetous ...

EF-hand proteins in onychophorans as compared to tardigrades and other ecdysozoans
To learn more about the regulation of muscle contraction in the structural and functionally different muscles in Ecdysozoa, we have analysed the four EF-hand proteins calmodulin (CaM), troponin C (TnC), essential myosin light chain (eMLC) and regulatory ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Palaeoscolecids from the early Cambrian Guanshan biota, Yunnan Province, China
Abstract Palaeoscolecidomorphs (Palaeoscolecida and Cricocosmiidae) are widespread early Palaeozoic worms crucial to understanding the early evolution of Ecdysozoa. They are well known from the early–middle Cambrian of the Yangtze Platform of South China, but research has disproportionately focused on the well‐known Cambrian Stage 3 Chengjiang biota of

Insights into the microRNA landscape of Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of Chagas disease
The growing interest in microRNAs (miRNAs) over recent years has led to their characterization in numerous organisms. However, there is currently a lack of data available on miRNAs from triatomine bugs (Reduviidae: Triatominae), which are the vectors of ...
