Transphyletic conservation of developmental regulatory state in animal evolution.
Specific regulatory states, i.e., sets of expressed transcription factors, define the gene expression capabilities of cells in animal development. Here we explore the functional significance of an unprecedented example of regulatory state conservation from the cnidarian Nematostella to Drosophila, sea urchin, fish, and mammals. Our probe is a deeply conserved cis-regulatory DNA module of the SR...

and highly relevant issues and are for the most part field: the relationships between form and function. Given extremely well written. Only one chapter (Lin et al.) re-the powerful suite of techniques, concepts, and hard-quired a stronger editorial hand. It was poorly struc-ware applicable to cardiac function already developed tured, and contained errors of fact, naı¨ve extrapolations, for man ...
متن کاملThe evolution of developmental regulatory pathways.
Evolutionary analysis of the content of developmental regulatory pathways has been advanced by the publication of pairs of complete genome sequences from representative taxonomic groups. Annotation of the fission yeast, rice, and mouse genomes confirms that most regulatory families are shared among eukaryotes but also shows that certain gene families have restricted distributions. Theoretical a...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulatory genes and echinoderm evolution.
Modified interactions among developmental regulatory genes and changes in their expression domains are likely to be an important part of the developmental basis for evolutionary changes in morphology. Although developmental regulatory genes are now being studied in an increasing number of taxa, there has been little attempt to analyze the resulting data within an explicit phylogenetic context. ...
متن کاملConservation and Evolution of Cis-Regulatory Systems in Ascomycete Fungi
Relatively little is known about the mechanisms through which gene expression regulation evolves. To investigate this, we systematically explored the conservation of regulatory networks in fungi by examining the cis-regulatory elements that govern the expression of coregulated genes. We first identified groups of coregulated Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes enriched for genes with known upstream ...
