Genome analysis of the platypus reveals unique signatures of evolution

TL;DR: It is found that reptile and platypus venom proteins have been co-opted independently from the same gene families; milk protein genes are conserved despite platypuses laying eggs; and immune gene family expansions are directly related to platypUS biology.

TL;DR: This corrects the article to show that the method used to derive the H2O2 “spatially aggregating force” is based on a two-step process, not a single step, like in the previous version of this paper.

Evolution of Microsatellite DNA

TL;DR: The mutability of microsatellites, the fact that their mutations are easily reversible, and their abundance and conservation in regulatory regions suggest that they may make a significant contribution to the diversity and adaptation of species, but much work remains to establish the extent of their functional importance.
