Molecular origin of mesoderm : conservation of T-box genes in non-bilaterian animals [PDF]
, 2003 Several members of the T-box gene family were characterized from cnidarians, ctenophores, sponges and placozoans, which are considered as the four metazoan phyla at the basis of animal evolution leading to bilaterians.

Genome-wide analysis of transposable elements and tandem repeats in the compact placozoan genome
Biology Direct, 2010 The placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens has a compact genome with many primitive eumetazoan characteristics. In order to gain a better understanding of its genome architecture, we conducted a detailed analysis of repeat content in this genome.

Non-coding RNA annotation of the genome of Trichoplax adhaerens
, 2022 16021615A detailed annotation of non-protein coding RNAs is typically missing in initial releases of newly sequenced genomes. Here we report on a comprehensive ncRNA annotation of the genome of Trichoplax adhaerens, the presumably most basal metazoan ...

Biophysical Characterization and Evolutionary Analysis of the Presynaptic Voltage-gated calcium (Cav2) Channel in Trichoplax adhaerens [PDF]
, 2018 Trichoplax adhaerens is a primitive metazoan with six cell types that lacks a nervous system and synapses. One cell type, dubbed gland cells, line the periphery of its flat disc- shaped body and resemble neurons by expressing membrane apposed secretory ...

Trichoplax adhaerens reveals a network of nuclear receptors sensitive to 9-cis-retinoic acid at the base of metazoan evolution [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Trichoplax adhaerens, the only known species of Placozoa is likely to be closely related to an early metazoan that preceded branching of Cnidaria and Bilateria.

Innate immunity in the simplest animals – placozoans
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Innate immunity provides the core recognition system in animals for preventing infection, but also plays an important role in managing the relationship between an animal host and its symbiont.

Early evolution of the LIM homeobox gene family
BMC Biology, 2010 Background LIM homeobox (Lhx) transcription factors are unique to the animal lineage and have patterning roles during embryonic development in flies, nematodes and vertebrates, with a conserved role in specifying neuronal identity.
