Journal ArticleDOI
Using the Acropora digitifera genome to understand coral responses to environmental change
Chuya Shinzato,Eiichi Shoguchi,Takeshi Kawashima,Mayuko Hamada,Kanako Hisata,Makiko Tanaka,Manabu Fujie,Mayuki Fujiwara,Ryo Koyanagi,Tetsuro Ikuta,Asao Fujiyama,David J. Miller,Nori Satoh +12 more
TL;DR: Corals inhabit environments where they are frequently exposed to high levels of solar radiation, and analysis of the Acropora genome data indicates that the coral host can independently carry out de novo synthesis of mycosporine-like amino acids, which are potent ultraviolet-protective compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Schistosoma japonicum genome reveals features of host-parasite interplay
Yan Zhou,Huajun Zheng,Yangyi Chen,Lei Zhang,Kai Wang,Jing Guo,Zhen Huang,Bo Zhang,Wei Huang,Ke Jin,Tonghai Dou,Masami Hasegawa,Li Wang,Yuan Zhang,Jie Zhou,Lin Tao,Zhiwei Cao,Yixue Li,Tomas Vinar,Brona Brejová,Daniel G.

TL;DR: The genome provides a global insight into the molecular architecture and host interaction of this complex metazoan pathogen, revealing that it can exploit host nutrients, neuroendocrine hormones and signalling pathways for growth, development and maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
EST Analysis of the Cnidarian Acropora millepora Reveals Extensive Gene Loss and Rapid Sequence Divergence in the Model Invertebrates
R. Daniel Kortschak,R. Daniel Kortschak,Gabrielle Samuel,Robert Saint,Robert Saint,David J. Miller +5 more
TL;DR: Gene loss has been much more extensive in the model invertebrate lineages than previously assumed and, as a consequence, some genes formerly thought to be vertebrate inventions must have been present in the common metazoan ancestor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and evolution of coral fluorescent proteins
Naila O. Alieva,Karen A. Konzen,Steven F. Field,Ella A. Meleshkevitch,Marguerite E. Hunt,Victor Beltran-Ramirez,David J. Miller,Jörg Wiedenmann,Jörg Wiedenmann,Anya Salih,Mikhail V. Matz +10 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the extent of convergent or parallel evolution of the color diversity in corals, provide the foundation for experimental studies of evolutionary processes that led to color diversification, and enable a comparative analysis of structural determinants of different colors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The innate immune repertoire in Cnidaria - ancestral complexity and stochastic gene loss
David J. Miller,Georg Hemmrich,Eldon E. Ball,David C. Hayward,Konstantin Khalturin,Noriko Funayama,Kiyokazu Agata,Thomas C. G. Bosch +7 more
TL;DR: Consideration of these patterns of gene distribution underscores the likely significance of gene loss during animal evolution whilst indicating ancient origins for many components of the vertebrate innate immune system.
