Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropeptide Y-family peptides and receptors in the elephant shark, Callorhinchus milii confirm gene duplications before the gnathostome radiation.

TL;DR: The repertoire of peptides and receptors in the elephant shark seems to reflect the ancestral configuration in the predecessor of all gnathostomes, whereas other lineages such as mammals and teleosts have lost one or more receptor genes or have acquired 1-2 additional peptide genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics using fugu: A tool for the identification of conserved vertebrate cis‐regulatory elements

TL;DR: The pufferfish, Fugu rubripes, is an attractive vertebrate model for comparative genomics, by virtue of its compact genome and maximal phylogenetic distance from mammals, and is a model fish genome of choice for discovering evolutionarily conserved regulatory elements in the human genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and organization of coelacanth neurohypophysial hormone genes: Evolutionary history of the vertebrate neurohypophysial hormone gene locus

TL;DR: The results indicate that the neurohypophysial hormone gene locus has experienced independent rearrangements in both placental mammals and ray-finned fish lineages, and the coelacanth genome appears to be more stable than mammalian and teleost fish genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome-level assembly of the horseshoe crab genome provides insights into its genome evolution

TL;DR: A chromosome-level assembly for the mangrove horseshoe crab is generated, with implications for innate immunity, and challenging assumptions about the role of genome duplication in adaptive radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The fifth neurohypophysial hormone receptor is structurally related to the V2-type receptor but functionally similar to V1-type receptors

TL;DR: A new evolutionary history for the neurohypophysial hormone receptors in vertebrates is proposed: the first duplication generated V1aR/V1bR/OTR and V2aR /V2bR lineages evolved to use cAMP as a second messenger, while the V2bRs retained the original Ca(2+) signaling system.
