A Network Approach to White Band Disease Challenged Staghorn Coral Acropora cervicornis microRNAs and Their Targets

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Our study looks at the association between microRNA expression and disease resistance in Caribbean staghorn corals infected with White Band Disease. We find three microRNAs differentially expressed due to disease resistance with putative targets involved in innate immunity.

Evolution of g-type lysozymes in metazoa: insights into immunity and digestive adaptations

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Exploring the evolutionary dynamics of lysozymes is critical for advancing our knowledge of adaptations in immune and digestive systems. Here, we characterize the distribution of a unique class of lysozymes known as g-type, which hydrolyze key components

Animals and Their Unicellular Ancestors [PDF]

, 2010
Animals belong to the Opisthokonta, one of the major divisions of the eukaryotic Tree of Life. This supergroup also includes other well?known groups such as fungi and choanoflagellates, in addition to some newly discovered unicellular taxa as the ...

The Buds of Oscarella lobularis (Porifera, Homoscleromorpha): A New Convenient Model for Sponge Cell and Evolutionary Developmental Biology

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 8, Page 503-528, December 2024.
We describe a technique for triggering asexual reproduction by budding in vitro and have monitored bud development. The natural properties of Oscarella lobularis buds and the technical tools we developed make them a new biological system for getting insights into sponge molecular and cellular processes.

“Dorsal–Ventral” Genes Are Part of an Ancient Axial Patterning System: Evidence from Trichoplax adhaerens (Placozoa)

Molecular biology and evolution, 2019
Placozoa are a morphologically simplistic group of marine animals found globally in tropical and subtropical environments. They consist of two named species, Trichoplax adhaerens and more recently Hoilungia hongkongensis, both with roughly six ...

Origin and evolution of microvilli

Biology of the Cell, Volume 116, Issue 11, November 2024.
Microvilli are widespread organelles of animal cells that frequently play a role in sensation and feeding. Ansel et al. reconstitute their origin and evolution by performing a broad morphological survey of microvilli in animals and their unicellular relatives, coupled with a bioinformatic study of the phylogenetic distribution of the main microvillar ...

Evolution of the Cdk4/6–Cdkn2 system in invertebrates

Genes to Cells, Volume 29, Issue 11, Page 1037-1051, November 2024.
Hypothesis on the evolution of the Cdkn2 locus. (a) Loss of Cdkn2 occurred multiple times. (b) Evolution of microsynteny at the Cdkn2 locus. Cdkn2e is a hypothetical transient gene. Abstract The cell cycle is driven by cyclin‐dependent kinases (Cdks). The decision whether the cell cycle proceeds is made during G1 phase, when Cdk4/6 functions.
