Journal ArticleDOI
Caecilian Genomes Reveal the Molecular Basis of Adaptation and Convergent Evolution of Limblessness in Snakes and Caecilians
Vladimir A. Ovchinnikov,Marcela Uliano-Silva,Mark Wilkinson,Jonathan Wood,Michelle Smith,Karen Oliver,Ying Sims,James Torrance,Alexander Suh,Shane A. McCarthy,Richard Durbin,Mary J. O'Connell +11 more
TL;DR: All caecilian genomes are missing the ZRS enhancer of Sonic Hedgehog, shown by in vivo deletions to be required for limb development in mice and also absent in snakes, thus revealing a shared molecular target implicated in the independent evolution of limblessness in snakes and caecilians.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of visible implant elastomer to permanently identify caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona)
TL;DR: Visible Implant Elastomer has been widely used to mark amphibians, but no long-term study has validated this technique in caecilian amphibians and further research is required to develop methods for long- term marking of a diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into the skin of caecilian amphibians from gene expression profiles
María Torres-Sánchez,María Torres-Sánchez,Mark Wilkinson,David J. Gower,Christopher J. Creevey,Diego San Mauro +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first atlas of differentially expressed sequences in caecilian tissues and a baseline to explore the molecular basis of the skin functions in caECilian amphibians, and more broadly in vertebrates.
