Journal ArticleDOI

The amphioxus genome and the evolution of the chordate karyotype

TL;DR: Whole-genome comparisons illuminate the murky relationships among the three chordate groups (tunicates, lancelets and vertebrates), and allow not only reconstruction of the gene complement of the last common chordate ancestor but also partial reconstruction of its genomic organization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome Sequence of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum

Stephen Richards, +223 more
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: The genome of the pea aphid shows remarkable levels of gene duplication and equally remarkable gene absences that shed light on aspects of aphid biology, most especially its symbiosis with Buchnera.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum.

Stephen Richards, +190 more
- 24 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

The amphioxus genome illuminates vertebrate origins and cephalochordate biology

Linda Z. Holland, +71 more
- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that the amphioxus genome is elemental to an understanding of the biology and evolution of nonchordate deuterostomes, invertebrate chordates, and vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of the cerebellum: simple steps to make a ‘little brain’

TL;DR: Three distinct aspects of cerebellar development are explored – allocation of the Cerebellar anlage, the significance of transit amplification and the generation of neuronal diversity – each defined by distinct regulatory mechanisms and each with special significance for health and disease.
