Using the Acropora digitifera genome to understand coral responses to environmental change

TL;DR: Corals inhabit environments where they are frequently exposed to high levels of solar radiation, and analysis of the Acropora genome data indicates that the coral host can independently carry out de novo synthesis of mycosporine-like amino acids, which are potent ultraviolet-protective compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drosophila Pins-binding protein Mud regulates spindle-polarity coupling and centrosome organization.

TL;DR: Drosophila Mud, vertebrate NuMA and Caenorhabditis elegans Lin-5 have conserved roles in the mechanism by which G-proteins regulate the mitotic spindle, and Mushroom body defect is identified as a downstream effector in this pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemichordate genomes and deuterostome origins

TL;DR: The draft genome sequences of two acorn worms are reported, identifying shared traits that were probably inherited from the last common deuterostome ancestor, and exploring evolutionary trajectories leading from this ancestor to hemichordates, echinoderms and chordates.
