TL;DR: It is found that reptile and platypus venom proteins have been co-opted independently from the same gene families; milk protein genes are conserved despite platypuses laying eggs; and immune gene family expansions are directly related to platypUS biology.
Book
Reproductive physiology of marsupials
TL;DR: The sexual differentiation and development of marsupials and the evolution of mammalian reproduction is studied in detail.

TL;DR: This corrects the article to show that the method used to derive the H2O2 “spatially aggregating force” is based on a two-step process, not a single step, like in the previous version of this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the platypus genome suggests a transposon origin for mammalian imprinting
Andrew J Pask,Andrew J Pask,Anthony T. Papenfuss,Eleanor I Ager,Kaighin A. McColl,Terence P. Speed,Marilyn B. Renfree +6 more
TL;DR: Comparisons between prototherian and therian mammals provide strong support for the host defence hypothesis and show that the platypus has significantly fewer repeats of certain classes in the regions of the genome that have become imprinted in therian mammal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of sex determination and the Y chromosome: SRY -related sequences in marsupials
Jamie W. Foster,Francine E. Brennan,Gregory K. Hampikian,Peter N. Goodfellow,Andrew H. Sinclair,Robin Lovell-Badge,Lynne Selwood,Marilyn B. Renfree,Desmond W. Cooper,Jennifer A. Marshall Graves +9 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of eutherian and metatherian Y-located SRY sequences suggest rapid evolution of these genes, especially outside the region encoding the DNA-binding HMG box.
