Homology in comparative, molecular, and evolutionary developmental biology: The radiation of a concept [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The present paper analyzes the use and understanding of the homology concept across different biological disciplines. It is argued that in its history, the homology concept underwent a sort of adaptive radiation. Once it migrated from comparative anatomy

Tachykinin-related peptides modulate immune-gene expression in the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor L.

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Tachykinins (TKs) are a group of conserved neuropeptides. In insects, tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) are important modulators of several functions such as nociception and lipid metabolism.

Evolutionary crossroads in developmental biology: amphioxus [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, 2011
The phylogenetic position of amphioxus, together with its relatively simple and evolutionarily conserved morphology and genome structure, has led to its use as a model for studies of vertebrate evolution. In particular, the recent development of technical approaches, as well as access to the complete amphioxus genome sequence, has provided the ...

Addressing Evolutionary Questions with Synthetic Biology

open access: yes, 2021
Synthetic biology emerged as an engineering discipline to design and construct artificial biological systems. Synthetic biological designs aim to achieve specific biological behavior, which can be exploited for biotechnological, medical and industrial ...

Evolutionary origin of type IV classical cadherins in arthropods

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background Classical cadherins are a metazoan-specific family of homophilic cell-cell adhesion molecules that regulate morphogenesis. Type I and type IV cadherins in this family function at adherens junctions in the major epithelial tissues of ...

Unraveling the evolutionary history of the nematode Pristionchus pacificus: from lineage diversification to island colonization

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2013
The hermaphroditic nematode Pristionchus pacificus is a model organism with a range of fully developed genetic tools. The species is globally widespread and highly diverse genetically, consisting of four major independent lineages (lineages A, B, C, and ...

Computational protocol for the identification of X-linked genes contributing to X chromosome upregulation from RNA-sequencing datasets

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: The X chromosome/autosome ratio has been widely used to profile XCU at the chromosomal level. However, this approach overlooks features of inside genes.
