Journal ArticleDOI

Rfam: Wikipedia, clans and the "decimal" release.

TL;DR: The pros and cons of using the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, as a source of community-derived annotation, are discussed and the addition of groupings of related RNA families into clans is discussed.

The house spider genome reveals an ancient whole-genome duplication during arachnid evolution

Evelyn E. Schwager, +60 more

TL;DR: The results reveal that spiders and scorpions are likely the descendants of a polyploid ancestor that lived more than 450 MYA, and this study of the ancient WGD event in Arachnopulmonata provides a new comparative platform to explore common and divergent evolutionary outcomes ofpolyploidization events across eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The first myriapod genome sequence reveals conservative arthropod gene content and genome organisation in the centipede Strigamia maritima

Ariel D. Chipman, +112 more
- 25 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: The phylogenetic position of myriapods allows us to identify where in arthropod phylogeny several particular molecular mechanisms and traits emerged, and concludes that juvenile hormone signalling evolved with the emergence of the exoskeleton in the arthropods and that RR-1 containing cuticle proteins evolved in the lineage leading to Mandibulata.
