Genome analysis of the platypus reveals unique signatures of evolution

Wesley C. Warren, +104 more
- 08 May 2008 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome analysis of the platypus reveals unique signatures of evolution (Nature (2008) 453, (175-183))

Wesley C. Warren, +103 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
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

Bird-like sex chromosomes of platypus imply recent origin of mammal sex chromosomes

TL;DR: In other amniotes (reptiles and birds), sex is determined by a variety of different mechanisms that belong in two broad classes: genetic or environmental, although recent data show that some species combine both (Quinn et al. 2007) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholinergic amacrine cells are not required for the progression and atropine-mediated suppression of form-deprivation myopia

TL;DR: It is concluded that neither cholinergic amacrine cells nor mAChRs in the retina are required for visual regulation of ocular growth, and that atropine may exert its growth-suppressing influence by acting upon extraretinal mA ChRs, possibly in the choroid, retinal pigmented epithelium, or sclera.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing the chromosomes of the Australian model marsupial Macropus eugenii (tammar wallaby).

TL;DR: A detailed description of the tammar karyotype is presented, the development of a set of molecular anchor markers is reported and the comparative mapping data for this species is summarized.
