Genome evolution in the allotetraploid frog Xenopus laevis

Adam M. Session, +80 more
- 20 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The Xenopus laevis genome is sequenced and it is estimated that the two diploid progenitor species diverged around 34 million years ago and combined to form an allotetraploid around 17–18 Ma, where more than 56% of all genes were retained in two homoeologous copies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signaling networks that regulate muscle development: lessons from zebrafish.

TL;DR: This review focuses on studies of zebrafish muscle development that have advanced the understanding of the molecular genetics of muscle cell induction and specification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conserved expression of mouse Six1 in the pre-placodal region (PPR) and identification of an enhancer for the rostral PPR

TL;DR: The expression of Six1 in the horseshoe-shaped mouse ectoderm surrounding the anterior neural plate in a pattern broadly similar to that of non-mammalian vertebrates is reported, suggesting the presence of PPR in mouse and that it is conserved in vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterochronic Shift in Hox-Mediated Activation of Sonic hedgehog Leads to Morphological Changes during Fin Development

TL;DR: A threshold level of hox expression determines the onset of shh expression, and the subsequent heterochronic shift of Shh activity can affect the size of the fin endoskeleton, which may have facilitated major morphological changes in paired appendages during vertebrate limb evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Stability of the Lens-specific Maf Protein is Regulated by Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)/ERK Signaling in Lens Fiber Differentiation

TL;DR: It is shown that FGF-2 repressed the expression of lens-specific genes at the proliferative phase in primary cultured lens cells and that stabilization of the L-Maf protein is important for lens fiber differentiation.
