One of the most important aspects of mitochondrial (mt) genome evolution in Metazoa is
constancy of size and gene content of mtDNA, whose plasticity is maintained through a great …

Studies using the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus contributed to elucidating
numerous fundamental aspects of antibody structure and diversification mechanisms and …

The precise hierarchy of ancient divergence events that led to the present assemblage of
modern placental mammals has been an area of controversy among morphologists …

A phylogenetic analysis of a combined data set for 560 angiosperms and seven outgroups
based on three genes, 18S rDNA (1855 bp), rbcL (1428 bp), and atpB (1450 bp) …

Vertebrate palaeontology is a lively field, with new discoveries reported every week... and

Most of the 470-million-year history of plants on land belongs to bryophytes, pteridophytes
and gymnosperms, which eventually yielded to the ecological dominance by angiosperms …

Although they are relative latecomers on the evolutionary scene, having emerged only 135?
170 million years ago, angiosperms—or flowering plants—are the most diverse and species …

We have developed a method to produce live somatic clones in the rabbit, one of the
mammalian species considered up to now as difficult to clone. To do so, we have modified …

Large scale gene duplication is a major force driving the evolution of genetic functional
innovation. Whole genome duplications are widely believed to have played an important …
