Metaphylogeny of 82 gene families sheds a new light on chordate evolution
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006 Achieving a better comprehension of the evolution of species has always been an important matter for evolutionary biologists. The deuterostome phylogeny has been described for many years, and three phyla are distinguishable: Echinodermata (including sea ...

Evolution of motif variants and positional bias of the cyclic-AMP response element
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Transcription factors regulate gene expression by interacting with their specific DNA binding sites. Some transcription factors, particularly those involved in transcription initiation, always bind close to transcription start sites (TSS ...

The Establishment of Complement System Is from Gene Duplication and Domain Shuffling
The mammalian complement system constitutes a highly sophisticated body defense machinery. The evolutionary origin of the complement system can be traced to Coelenterata as the presence of the central component C3 and two activation proteases BF and MASP.

Metazoa composition in multinet samples.
, 2015 Combined composition of metazoa at each station in the multinet samples. Arthro = Arthropoda; Urocho = Urochordata. Other accounts for those phyla, which accounted for less than 3% of a sample or OTUs, which were not classified at the phyla level.

Electrophysiological Analysis of Antimicrobial Peptides in Diverse Species
, 2019 This study describes a technical platform that allows us to measure the pore-forming activity of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the lipid bilayer and estimate antimicrobial activity. We selected six different AMPs of diverse species from urochordata to
