Data-Driven Analysis of the Trichoplax Adhaerens [PDF]
, 2023 Biological systems, particularly animals, are a hotspot of highly sophisticated and non-trivial dynamics. They consist of a myriad of motile self-driven and simultaneously interacting entities.

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.

Evolution of the perlecan/HSPG2 gene and its activation in regenerating Nematostella vectensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2 (HSPG2)/perlecan gene is ancient and conserved in all triploblastic species. Its presence maintains critical cell boundaries in tissue and its large (up to ~900 kDa) modular structure has prompted speculation about the ...

Deep RNA sequencing reveals the smallest known mitochondrial micro exon in animals: The placozoan cox1 single base pair exon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The phylum Placozoa holds a key position for our understanding of the evolution of mitochondrial genomes in Metazoa. Placozoans possess large mitochondrial genomes which harbor several remarkable characteristics such as a fragmented cox1 gene and trans ...

Comparative genomics of large mitochondria in placozoans.
PLoS Genetics, 2007 The first sequenced mitochondrial genome of a placozoan, Trichoplax adhaerens, challenged the conventional wisdom that a compact mitochondrial genome is a common feature among all animals.

Comparative genomics of neuroglobin reveals its early origins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a hexacoordinated globin expressed mainly in the central and peripheral nervous system of vertebrates. Although several hypotheses have been put forward regarding the role of neuroglobin, its definite function remains uncertain.

Concatenated analysis sheds light on early metazoan evolution and fuels a modern "urmetazoon" hypothesis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 For more than a century, the origin of metazoan animals has been debated. One aspect of this debate has been centered on what the hypothetical "urmetazoon" bauplan might have been.

, 2023 How collectives remain coordinated as they grow in size is a fundamental challenge affecting systems ranging from biofilms to governments. This challenge is particularly apparent in multicellular organisms, where coordination among a vast number of cells

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.
