Evolutionary immunology has entered a new era. Classical studies, using just a handful of
model animal species, combined with clinical observations, provided an outline of how …

Adrenaline and noradrenaline, released as hormones and/or neurotransmitters, exert
diverse physiological functions in vertebrates, and teleost fishes are widely used as model …

Angiosperms have a complex history of whole-genome duplications (WGDs), with varying
numbers and ages of WGD events across clades. These WGDs have greatly affected the …

DNA methylation (5mC) is a repressive gene regulatory mark widespread in vertebrate
genomes, yet the developmental dynamics in which 5mC patterns are established vary …

Large‐scale gene duplications (LSGDs) are crucial for evolutionary adaptation and
recurrent in vascular plants. However, the role of ancient LSGDs in the terrestrialization and …

Vertebrate evolution has been punctuated by three whole genome duplication events that
have been implicated causally in phenotypic evolution, from the origin of phenotypic …

The genomic basis of cladogenesis and adaptive evolutionary change has intrigued
biologists for decades. The unique insights from a genome-level perspective have revealed …

With the increasing number of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, the importance of
measuring drug levels in patient body fluids has increased exponentially, particularly for the …

Abstract Background The deep (> 200 m) ocean floor is often considered to be a refugium of
biodiversity; many benthic marine animals appear to share ancient common ancestry with …

Background Hagfishes are fascinating creatures that typically inhabit the deep sea. The
deep sea is characterized by its lack of sunlight, primary productivity, and diminishing …
