The sea lamprey is an important model organism for investigating the evolutionary origins of
vertebrates. As more vertebrate genome sequences are obtained, evolutionary …

Comparisons between diverse vertebrate genomes have uncovered thousands of highly
conserved non-coding sequences, an increasing number of which have been shown to …

The development of lampreys has fascinated evolutionary developmental (evo-devo)
biologists for a long time. Lampreys, as one of the two surviving members of an ancient …

The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a basal vertebrate that undergoes
developmentally programmed genome rearrangements (PGRs) during early development …

Lampreys, one of the two surviving groups of ancient vertebrates, have become important
models for study in diverse fields of biology. Lampreys (of which there are approximately 40 …

Conserved noncoding elements (CNEs) in vertebrate genomes often act as developmental
enhancers, but a critical issue is how well orthologous CNE sequences retain the same …

The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) serves as a comparative model for reconstructing
vertebrate evolution. To enable more informed analyses, we developed a new assembly of …

Lampreys and hagfishes are the only surviving relicts of an ancient but ecologically
dominant group of jawless fishes that evolved in the seas of the Cambrian era over half a …

Evolution in development can be viewed as a sequence of changes in gene regulation. To
investigate the cross‐species compatibility of 5'upstream regulatory regions, we introduced …

The reissner lamprey Lethenteron reissneri, belonging to the class Cyclostomata, serves as
a bridge between invertebrates and jawed vertebrates, and is considered the sister group of …
