TL;DR: It is shown that the physical linkages among protein domains often differ between M. brevicollis and metazoans, suggesting that abundant domain shuffling followed the separation of the choanoflagellate and metazoan lineages.

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
Estimating metazoan divergence times with a molecular clock
Kevin J. Peterson,Jessica B. Lyons,Kristin S. Nowak,Carter M. Takacs,Matthew J. Wargo,Mark A. McPeek +5 more
TL;DR: The last common ancestor of bilaterians arose somewhere between 573 and 656 Ma, depending on the value assigned to the parameter scaling molecular substitution rate heterogeneity, and this results support the view that the Cambrian explosion reflects, in part, the diversification of bilateralian phyla.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequencing wild and cultivated cassava and related species reveals extensive interspecific hybridization and genetic diversity

TL;DR: It is found that paleotetraploidy in cassava is shared with the related rubber tree Hevea, providing a resource for comparative studies and will inform future genome-enabled breeding efforts to improve this staple crop.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Dioscorea Genus (Yam)—An Appraisal of Nutritional and Therapeutic Potentials
TL;DR: An overview of the nutritional and health importance of yam will harness the crop to meet its potential towards combating hunger and malnutrition, while improving global health.
