The amphioxus genome illuminates vertebrate origins and cephalochordate biology

Linda Z. Holland, +71 more
- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that the amphioxus genome is elemental to an understanding of the biology and evolution of nonchordate deuterostomes, invertebrate chordates, and vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing immune phylogeny: new perspectives

TL;DR: Findings blur traditional distinctions between adaptive and innate immunity and emphasize that, throughout evolution, the immune system has used a remarkably extensive variety of solutions to meet fundamentally similar requirements for host protection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Massive expansion and functional divergence of innate immune genes in a protostome.

TL;DR: An integrated, highly complex innate immune system that exhibits remarkable discriminatory properties and responses to different pathogens as well as environmental stress has arisen through the adaptive recruitment of tandem duplicated genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of the Preterm Infant Gut Microbiome: A Research Priority

TL;DR: In this paper, a review provides a synthesis of our understanding of the normal development of the infant gut microbiome and contrasts this with dysbiotic development in the very low birth weight (VLBW) infant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Pax Genes in Eye Evolution: A Cnidarian PaxB Gene Uniting Pax2 and Pax6 Functions

TL;DR: The data suggest that the ancestor of jellyfish PaxB, a PaxB-like protein, was the primordial Pax protein in eye evolution and that Pax6-like genes evolved in triploblasts after separation from Cnidaria, raising the possibility that cnidarian and sophisticatedTriploblastic eyes arose independently.
