Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of amphibian and avian chromosomes by fission, fusion, and retention of ancestral chromosomes
S. R. Voss,D. Kevin Kump,Srikrishna Putta,Nathan Pauly,Anna Reynolds,Rema J. Henry,Saritha Basa,John A. Walker,J. Joshua Smith +8 more
TL;DR: The maintenance of gene order relationships between chromosomal segments that have greatly expanded and contracted in salamander and chicken genomes, respectively, suggests selection to maintain synteny relationships and/or extremely low rates of chromosomal rearrangement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of salamander life cycles : A major-effect quantitative trait locus contributes to discrete and continuous variation for metamorphic timing
S. R. Voss,J. Joshua Smith +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the evolution of paedomorphosis is associated with genetic changes that delay metamorphic timing in biphasic life cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comprehensive Expressed Sequence Tag Linkage Map for Tiger Salamander and Mexican Axolotl: Enabling Gene Mapping and Comparative Genomics in Ambystoma
TL;DR: A new collection of EST-based PCR markers will better enable the Ambystoma system by facilitating development of new molecular probes, and the linkage map will allow comparative studies of this important vertebrate group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of thyroid hormone concentration on the transcriptional response underlying induced metamorphosis in the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma)
Robert B. Page,S. R. Voss,Amy K. Samuels,J. Joshua Smith,Srikrishna Putta,Christopher K. Beachy +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that T4 concentration affected the timing of gene expression and the shape of temporal gene expression profiles, and essentially all of the identified genes were similarly affected by 5 and 50 nM T4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thyroid hormone responsive QTL and the evolution of paedomorphic salamanders
TL;DR: This study uses thyroid hormone to rescue metamorphic phenotypes in paedomorphic salamanders and identifies quantitative trait loci (QTL) for life history traits that are associated with amphibian life cycle evolution: meetamorphic timing and adult body size.
