The genomic substrate for adaptive radiation in African cichlid fish

David Brawand, +82 more
- 18 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: This article found an excess of gene duplications in the East African lineage compared to Nile tilapia and other teleosts, an abundance of non-coding element divergence, accelerated coding sequence evolution, expression divergence associated with transposable element insertions, and regulation by novel microRNAs.

The genomic substrate for adaptive radiation in African cichlid fish

David Brawand, +82 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a number of molecular mechanisms shaped East African cichlid genomes, and that amassing of standing variation during periods of relaxed purifying selection may have been important in facilitating subsequent evolutionary diversification.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Ancient Gene Network Is Co-Opted for Teeth on Old and New Jaws

TL;DR: It is shown that tooth number is correlated on oral and pharyngeal jaws across species of cichlid fishes from Lake Malawi (East Africa), suggestive of common regulatory mechanisms for tooth initiation and an amazing modularity of jaws and teeth as they coevolved during the history of vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

A periodic pattern generator for dental diversity.

TL;DR: The molecular analysis of oral jaw dental diversity in Lake Malawi cichlids shows how a complex multi-rowed vertebrate dentition is organized and how developmental tinkering of conserved gene networks during iterative pattern formation can impact upon the evolution of trophic novelty.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common developmental pathways link tooth shape to regeneration

TL;DR: The dissection of the molecular mechanics of vertebrate tooth replacement coupled to complex shape pinpoints aspects of odontogenesis that might be re-evolved in the lab to solve problems in regenerative dentistry.
