The phylum Cnidaria represents a close outgroup to Bilateria and includes familiar animals including sea anemones, corals, hydroids, and jellyfish. Here we report genome sequencing …
Multiple rounds of whole-genome duplications (WGDs) punctuated the evolution of rayfin fish, a species-rich group comprising about half of all vertebrates. Rayfin fish, along with …
Background Stearoyl-CoA desaturases (SCDs) are key enzymes involved in de novo monounsaturated fatty acid synthesis. They catalyze the desaturation of saturated fatty acyl …
Conserved synteny––the sharing of at least one orthologous gene by a pair of chromosomes from two species––can, in the strictest sense, be viewed as sequence …
Subsequent to the two rounds of whole-genome duplication that occurred in the common ancestor of vertebrates, a third genome duplication occurred in the stem lineage of teleost …
