Vertebrate Natural History Notes from Arkansas, 2017 [PDF]
, 2017 Because meaningful observations of natural history are not always part of larger studies, important pieces of information often are unreported. Small details, however, can fills gaps in understanding and also lead to interesting questions about ...

Modelling Oscillator synchronisation during vertebrate axis segmentation [PDF]
, 2013 he somitogenesis clock regulates the periodicity with which somites form in the posterior pre-somitic mesoderm. Whilst cell heterogeneity results in noisy oscillation rates amongst constituent cells, synchrony within the population is maintained as ...

Inference of gene loss rates after whole genome duplications at early vertebrates through ancient genome reconstructions [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The famous 2R hypothesis was first proposed by Susumu Ohno in 1970. It states that the two whole genome duplications had shaped the genome of early vertebrates. The most convincing evidence for 2R hypothesis comes from the 4:1 ratio chromosomal regions that have preserved both gene content and order in vertebrates compared with closely related. However,

Deciphering the phylogenetic history of neuroserpin orthologs across metazoans by analysis of synteny and rare genomic characters [PDF]
, 2008 The superfamily of serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) is involved in wide arrays of fundamental biological processes such as blood coagulation, complement activation, fibrinolysis, angiogenesis, inflammation and tumor suppression. The average protein

Motif analysis of amphioxus, lamprey and invertebrate estrogen receptors and amphioxus and human estrogen-related receptors: Towards a better understanding of estrogen receptor evolution [PDF]
, 2008 *Background.* The origins of steroid-dependent regulation of the vertebrate estrogen receptor (ER) are poorly understood. Genes with statistically significant sequence similarity to vertebrate ERs have been found in lamprey, a basal vertebrate, and ...

Behaviour of filariae: morphological and anatomical signatures of their life style within the arthropod and vertebrate hosts [PDF]
, 2003 This paper attempts to pinpoint the most original morphological anatomical features of the biology of filariae per se and those which are or could be important for triggering regulatory processes in the arthropod vector and uncontrolled pathogenic ...

The evolution and variety of RFamide-type neuropeptides: insights from deuterostomian invertebrates [PDF]
, 2014 Five families of neuropeptides that have a C-terminal RFamide motif have been identified in vertebrates: (1) gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), (2) neuropeptide FF (NPFF), (3) pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP), (4) prolactin-releasing peptide (
