Reconstruction of Ancestral Genomes as a Key to Understanding the Early Evolution of Vertebrate Genotype
AbstractThe hypothesis about whole-genome duplications as the most important driver of transformation of the structure plan and lifestyle of...

Vertebrate Ichnofossils and Paleoenvironments
Ichnofossils or trace fossils are indirect evidence of biological activity. Vertebrate ichnofossils include footprints, trails, burrows, predation...

Hagfish genome elucidates vertebrate whole-genome duplication events and their evolutionary consequences
Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a major event that drastically reshapes genome architecture and is often assumed to be causally...

Mechanical regulation of early vertebrate embryogenesis
Embryonic cells grow in environments that provide a plethora of physical cues, including mechanical forces that shape the development of the entire...

Cellular and molecular control of vertebrate somitogenesis
Segmentation is a fundamental feature of the vertebrate body plan. This metameric organization is first implemented by somitogenesis in the early...

Nucleolin is required for multiple centrosome-associated functions in early vertebrate mitosis
Nucleolin is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein that resides predominantly not only in the nucleolus, but also in multiple other subcellular pools...

Early Divergence of the C-Terminal Variable Region of Troponin T Via a Pair of Mutually Exclusive Alternatively Spliced Exons Followed by a Selective Fixation in Vertebrate Heart
Troponin T (TnT) is the thin filament anchoring subunit of troponin complex and plays an organizer role in the Ca 2+ -regulation of striated muscle...

Functional Divergence and Origin of the Vertebrate Praja Family
The Praja family is an E3 ubiquitin ligase, promoting polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation of substrates. It comprises two paralogs, praja1...

The role of prickle proteins in vertebrate development and pathology
Prickle is an evolutionarily conserved family of proteins exclusively associated with planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling. This signalling pathway...

Spatially resolved cell atlas of the teleost telencephalon and deep homology of the vertebrate forebrain
The telencephalon has undergone remarkable diversification and expansion throughout vertebrate evolution, exhibiting striking variations in...

A novel approach to exploring the dark genome and its application to map** of the vertebrate virus fossil record
BackgroundGenomic regions that remain poorly understood, often referred to as the dark genome, contain a variety of functionally relevant and...

Parallel evolution of amphioxus and vertebrate small-scale gene duplications
BackgroundAmphioxus are non-vertebrate chordates characterized by a slow morphological and molecular evolution. They share the basic chordate...

Domain Evolution of Vertebrate Blood Coagulation Cascade Proteins
Vertebrate blood coagulation is controlled by a cascade containing more than 20 proteins. The cascade proteins are found in the blood in their...

Current patterns of non-native vertebrate introductions in Brazil: introduction pathways and the contribution of niche dynamics in understanding the invasion process
Correlative niche models are commonly used in the prevention and management of invasive species. The climatic similarity between non-native and...

A vertebrate-wide catalogue of T1R receptors reveals diversity in taste perception
Taste is a vital chemical sense for feeding behaviour. In mammals, the umami and sweet taste receptors comprise three members of the taste receptor...

Hypermethylated genome of a fish vertebrate iridovirus ISKNV plays important roles in viral infection
Iridoviruses are nucleocytoplasmic large dsDNA viruses that infect invertebrates and ectothermic vertebrates. The hypermethylated genome of...

Cartilage diversification and modularity drove the evolution of the ancestral vertebrate head skeleton
The vertebrate head skeleton has evolved a myriad of forms since their divergence from invertebrate chordates. The connection between novel gene...

MicrosatNavigator: exploring nonrandom distribution and lineage-specificity of microsatellite repeat motifs on vertebrate sex chromosomes across 186 whole genomes
Microsatellites are short tandem DNA repeats, ubiquitous in genomes. They are believed to be under selection pressure, considering their high...

Day length regulates gonadotrope proliferation and reproduction via an intra-pituitary pathway in the model vertebrate Oryzias latipes
In seasonally breeding mammals and birds, the production of the hormones that regulate reproduction (gonadotropins) is controlled by a complex...
