Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric paralog evolution between the “cryptic” gene Bmp16 and its well-studied sister genes Bmp2 and Bmp4
TL;DR: The phylogenetic analysis complemented with synteny analyses suggests that Bmp2, -4 and -16 are remnants of a gene quartet that originated during the two rounds of whole-genome duplication (2R-WGD) early in vertebrate evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Through a phylogenomic analysis, it is concluded that the lungfish, and not the coelacanth, is the closest living relative of tetrapods.

TL;DR: Analyses of the assembly indicate that two whole-genome duplications likely occurred before the divergence of ancestral lamprey and gnathostome lineages, and help define key evolutionary events within vertebrate lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
aLeaves facilitates on-demand exploration of metazoan gene family trees on MAFFT sequence alignment server with enhanced interactivity.
TL;DR: The work flow achieved by the seamless link between aLeaves and MAFFT provides a convenient online platform to address various questions in zoology and evolutionary biology, and minimizes redundancy for better visibility and handling in phylogenetic inference while covering relevant taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that turtle evolution was accompanied by an unexpectedly conservative vertebrate phylotypic period, followed by turtle-specific repatterning of development to yield the novel structure of the shell.
