BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Halyomorpha halys (Stål), the brown marmorated stink bug, is a highly invasive insect species due in part to its exceptionally high levels of polyphagy. This species is also a nuisance due to overwintering in human-made structures.

The last common ancestor of most bilaterian animals possessed at least 9 opsins
bioRxiv, 2016 The opsin gene family encodes key proteins animals use to sense light and has expanded dramatically since it originated early in animal evolution. Understanding the origins of opsin diversity can offer clues to how separate lineages of animals have ...

Beeinflussung der Augenentwicklung und Seidenfasermodifikation bei Spinnen mittels CRISPR‐Cas
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Spinnen weisen einzigartige Merkmale auf, die in verschiedensten Forschungsbereichen von größtem Interesse sind. Das gezielte Verändern von Genen bietet neue Möglichkeiten, die Forschung voranzutreiben. In dieser Studie entwickelten wir ein CRISPR‐Cas9‐Protokoll für Spinnen, das Gen‐Knock‐outs/Knock‐ins ermöglicht, um zum einen Genfunktionen zu ...

Rapid adaptive evolution of colour vision in the threespine stickleback radiation. [PDF]
, 2016 Vision is a sensory modality of fundamental importance for many animals, aiding in foraging, detection of predators and mate choice. Adaptation to local ambient light conditions is thought to be commonplace, and a match between spectral sensitivity and ...

Abnormal photoreceptor outer segment development and early retinal degeneration in kif3a mutant zebrafish [PDF]
, 2016 Photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that possess a modified primary cilium called the outer segment. Photoreceptor outer segment formation and maintenance require highly active protein transport via a process known as intraflagellar ...

A two-step method for identifying photopigment opsin and rhodopsin gene sequences underlying human color vision phenotypes. [PDF]
, 2020 PurposeTo present a detailed, reliable long range-PCR and sequencing (LR-PCR-Seq) procedure to identify human opsin gene sequences for variations in the long wavelength-sensitive (OPN1LW), medium wavelength-sensitive (OPN1MW), short wavelength-sensitive (
