Journal ArticleDOI
Using the Acropora digitifera genome to understand coral responses to environmental change
Chuya Shinzato,Eiichi Shoguchi,Takeshi Kawashima,Mayuko Hamada,Kanako Hisata,Makiko Tanaka,Manabu Fujie,Mayuki Fujiwara,Ryo Koyanagi,Tetsuro Ikuta,Asao Fujiyama,David J. Miller,Nori Satoh +12 more
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
Draft Assembly of the Symbiodinium minutum Nuclear Genome Reveals Dinoflagellate Gene Structure
Eiichi Shoguchi,Chuya Shinzato,Takeshi Kawashima,Fuki Gyoja,Sutada Mungpakdee,Ryo Koyanagi,Takeshi Takeuchi,Kanako Hisata,Makiko Tanaka,Mayuki Fujiwara,Mayuko Hamada,Azadeh Seidi,Manabu Fujie,Takeshi Usami,Hiroki Goto,Shinichi Yamasaki,Nana Arakaki,Yutaka Suzuki,Sumio Sugano,Atsushi Toyoda,Yoko Kuroki,Asao Fujiyama,Asao Fujiyama,Mónica Medina,Mary Alice Coffroth,Debashish Bhattacharya,Nori Satoh +26 more
TL;DR: The first draft assembly of a dinoflagellate nuclear genome is described, providing insights into its genome organization and gene inventory and laying the foundation for future studies of this remarkable group of eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Draft Genome of the Pearl Oyster Pinctada fucata: A Platform for Understanding Bivalve Biology
Takeshi Takeuchi,Takeshi Kawashima,Ryo Koyanagi,Fuki Gyoja,Makiko Tanaka,Tetsuro Ikuta,Eiichi Shoguchi,Mayuki Fujiwara,Chuya Shinzato,Kanako Hisata,Manabu Fujie,Takeshi Usami,Kiyohito Nagai,Kaoru Maeyama,Kikuhiko Okamoto,Hideo Aoki,Takashi Ishikawa,Tetsuji Masaoka,Atushi Fujiwara,Kazuyoshi Endo,Hirotoshi Endo,Hiromichi Nagasawa,Shigeharu Kinoshita,Shuichi Asakawa,Shugo Watabe,Nori Satoh +25 more
TL;DR: The draft genome of the pearl oyster provides a platform for the identification of selection markers and genes for calcification, knowledge of which will be important in the pearl industry.
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

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.
