Open AccessTopological structures and syntenic conservation in sea anemone genomes
There is currently little information about the evolution of gene clusters, genome architectures and karyotypes in early branching animals. Slowly evolving anthozoan cnidarians can be particularly informative ...

Open AccessTranscriptome-wide map** of signaling pathways and early immune responses in lumpfish leukocytes upon in vitro bacterial exposure
We performed RNA sequencing, identified components of the immune system and mapped early immune responses of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) leukocytes following in vitro exposure to the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio...

Two-miRNA classifiers differentiate mutation-negative follicular thyroid carcinomas and follicular thyroid adenomas in fine needle aspirations with high specificity
Diagnosis of thyroid by fine needle aspiration is challenging for the “indeterminate” category and can be supported by molecular testing. We set out to identify miRNA markers that could be used in a diagnostic...

Open AccessAdoption of conserved developmental genes in development and origin of the medusa body plan
The metagenesis of sessile polyps into pelagic medusae in cnidarians represents one of the most ancient complex life cycles in animals. Interestingly, scyphozoans and hydrozoans generate medusae by apparently ...

Open AccessCharacterisation and localisation of the opsin protein repertoire in the brain and retinas of a spider and an onychophoran
Opsins have been found in the majority of animals and their most apparent functions are related to vision and light-guided behaviour. As an increasing number of sequences have become available it has become cl...

Making enhancers from spare parts of the genome
New studies show that novel long-range enhancers of developmental genes can emerge by exaptation of protein-coding sequences with no previous regulatory function.

Regulatory divergence of the duplicated chromosomal loci sox11a/b by subpartitioning and sequence evolution of enhancers in zebrafish
We used the classic example of the duplicated zebrafish sox11a and -b loci to test the duplication, degeneration, complementation (DDC) model of genome evolution through whole genome duplication. While recent rep...

Open AccessSynorth: exploring the evolution of synteny and long-range regulatory interactions in vertebrate genomes
Genomic regulatory blocks are chromosomal regions spanned by long clusters of highly conserved noncoding elements devoted to long-range regulation of developmental genes, often immobilizing other, unrelated ge...

Article
Open AccessTranscriptional features of genomic regulatory blocks
Genomic regulatory blocks (GRBs) are chromosomal regions spanned by highly conserved non-coding elements (HCNEs), most of which serve as regulatory inputs of one target gene in the region. The target genes are...

Article
Open AccessAncora: a web resource for exploring highly conserved noncoding elements and their association with developmental regulatory genes
Metazoan genomes contain arrays of highly conserved noncoding elements (HCNEs) that span developmental regulatory genes and define regulatory domains. We describe Ancora http://ancora.genereg.n...

Retroviral enhancer detection insertions in zebrafish combined with comparative genomics reveal genomic regulatory blocks - a fundamental feature of vertebrate genomes
A large-scale enhancer detection screen was performed in the zebrafish using a retroviral vector carrying a basal promoter and a fluorescent protein reporter cassette. Analysis of insertional hotspots uncovere...

Complex SNP-related sequence variation in segmental genome duplications
There is uncertainty about the true nature of predicted single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in segmental duplications (duplicons) and whether these markers genuinely exist at increased density as indicated ...
