Apicortin, a Putative Apicomplexan-Specific Protein, Is Present in Deep-Branching Opisthokonts
BiologyApicortin, a tubulin/microtubule-binding protein, was first described in 2009 as a protein characteristic of apicomplexans; it was found to be present in all Apicomplexa genomes already sequenced.

From tumors to species: a SCANDAL hypothesis
Biology Direct, 2019 Some tumor cells can evolve into transmissible parasites. Notable examples include the Tasmanian devil facial tumor disease, the canine transmissible venereal tumor and transmissible cancers of mollusks.

Multiple surveys employing a new sample‐processing protocol reveal the genetic diversity of placozoans in Japan [PDF]
, 2018 Placozoans, flat free‐living marine invertebrates, possess an extremely simple bauplan lacking neurons and muscle cells and represent one of the earliest‐branching metazoan phyla. They are widely distributed from temperate to tropical oceans.

DNA Content and Fragmentation of the Egg Nucleus of Trichoplax adhaerens
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1981 Abstract Under culture conditions the egg nucleus of Trichoplax adhaerens reaches an unusually high and variable DNA content. Before the "fertilization membrane" is formed, the nucleus undergoes fragmentation. It is assumed that culture conditions differ from natural conditions by preventing the switch-over from the S-phase to the G 2 ...
