Journal ArticleDOI
Rfam: Wikipedia, clans and the "decimal" release.
Paul P. Gardner,Jennifer Daub,John Tate,Benjamin L. Moore,Isabelle H. Osuch,Sam Griffiths-Jones,Robert D. Finn,Eric P. Nawrocki,Diana L. Kolbe,Sean R. Eddy,Alex Bateman +10 more
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.

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
Rfam 14: expanded coverage of metagenomic, viral and microRNA families.

TL;DR: The first phase of synchronising microRNA families in Rfam and miRBase is completed, creating 356 new Rfam families and updating 40, and a procedure for comprehensive annotation of viral RNA families starting with Flavivirus and Coronaviridae RNAs is established.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome of T. annulata is sequenced and the analysis reveals unequally expanded gene families and species-specific genes, and divergent families of putative secreted polypeptides that may reduce immune recognition.

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.
