A uniform system for the annotation of vertebrate microRNA genes and the evolution of the human microRNAome
Although microRNAs (miRNAs) are among the most intensively studied molecules of the
past 20 years, determining what is and what is not a miRNA has not been straightforward …

Riding the crest to get a head: neural crest evolution in vertebrates
In their seminal 1983 paper, Gans and Northcutt proposed that evolution of the vertebrate
'new head'was made possible by the advent of the neural crest and cranial placodes. The …
