Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of high molecular weight DNA from molluscs.
Journal ArticleDOI
18S rRNA data indicate that Aschelminthes are polyphyletic in origin and consist of at least three distinct clades.

TL;DR: Analyses of 18S rRNA sequences from six Aschelminth phyla (including four previously unpublished sequences) support polyphyly for the Aschelminthes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of protostome worms derived from 18S rRNA sequences.
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships of protostome worms were studied by comparing new complete 18S rRNA sequences of Vestimentifera, Pogonophora, Sipuncula, Echiura, Nemertea, and Annelida with existing18S r RNA sequences of Mollusca, Arthropoda, Chordata, and Platyhelminthes.
Journal ArticleDOI
18S rRNA suggests that Entoprocta are protostomes, unrelated to Ectoprocta.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses show that entoprocts and lophophorates have spiralian, protostomous affinities, and advocate a Spiralia-Radialia-based classification rather than one based on the Protostomia-Deuterostomía concept.
Journal ArticleDOI
CGG-repeat expansion in the DIP2B gene is associated with the fragile site FRA12A on chromosome 12q13.1.
Birgitta Winnepenninckx,Kim Debacker,Jacqueline Ramsay,Dominique Smeets,Arie P. T. Smits,David R. FitzPatrick,R. Frank Kooy +6 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that deficiency of DIP2B, a brain-expressed gene, may mediate the neurocognitive problems associated with FRA12A, a rare folate-sensitive fragile site associated with mental retardation.
