Journal ArticleDOI

The African coelacanth genome provides insights into tetrapod evolution

Chris T. Amemiya, +94 more
- 18 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Through a phylogenomic analysis, it is concluded that the lungfish, and not the coelacanth, is the closest living relative of tetrapods.
Journal ArticleDOI

The spotted gar genome illuminates vertebrate evolution and facilitates human-teleost comparisons

Ingo Braasch, +63 more
- 01 Apr 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced the genome of spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus), whose lineage diverged from teleosts before teleost genome duplication (TGD).
Journal ArticleDOI

The amphioxus genome illuminates vertebrate origins and cephalochordate biology

Linda Z. Holland, +71 more
- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that the amphioxus genome is elemental to an understanding of the biology and evolution of nonchordate deuterostomes, invertebrate chordates, and vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic insights into the immune system of the sea urchin.

TL;DR: Comparative analysis of the sea urchin genome has broad implications for the primitive state of deuterostome host defense and the genetic underpinnings of immunity in vertebrates and underscores the dynamic utilization of receptors and the complexity of immune recognition that may be basal for deuterOSTomes and predicts features of the ancestral bilaterian form.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing immune phylogeny: new perspectives

TL;DR: Findings blur traditional distinctions between adaptive and innate immunity and emphasize that, throughout evolution, the immune system has used a remarkably extensive variety of solutions to meet fundamentally similar requirements for host protection.
