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

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

Connectivity of vertebrate genomes: Paired-related homeobox (Prrx) genes in spotted gar, basal teleosts, and tetrapods.

TL;DR: It is shown that for Pr Rx genes, the spotted gar genome and gene expression patterns mimic mammals better than teleosts do, forcing the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that regulatory mechanisms for the limb expression domains of Prrx genes existed before the evolution of paired appendages.
