The sea urchin genome as a window on function.
The emphasis on the sequencing of genomes seems to make this task an end in itself. However, genome sequences and the genes that are predicted from them are really an opportunity to examine the biological function of the organism constructed by that genome. This point is illustrated here by examples in which the newly annotated gene complement reveals surprises about the way Strongylocentrotus ...
متن کاملMethods for karyotyping and for localization of developmentally relevant genes on the chromosomes of the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.
The purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, is the only non-chordate deuterostome model with a fully sequenced genome. Chromosomal localization of individual genes and resulting gene maps are unavailable for this or for any sea urchin. As a result, the purple sea urchin genome has not been mapped onto specific chromosomes and remains inaccessible to genome-wide approaches addressing q...
متن کاملGeneration, annotation, evolutionary analysis, and database integration of 20,000 unique sea urchin EST clusters.
Together with the hemichordates, sea urchins represent basal groups of nonchordate invertebrate deuterostomes that occupy a key position in bilaterian evolution. Because sea urchin embryos are also amenable to functional studies, the sea urchin system has emerged as one of the leading models for the analysis of the function of genomic regulatory networks that control development. We have analyz...
متن کاملHigh-Density Genetic Mapping with Interspecific Hybrids of Two Sea Urchins, Strongylocentrotus nudus and S. intermedius, by RAD Sequencing
Sea urchins have long been used as research model organisms for developmental biology and evolutionary studies. Some of them are also important aquaculture species in East Asia. In this work, we report the construction of RAD-tag based high-density genetic maps by genotyping F1 interspecific hybrids derived from a crossing between a female sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus and a male Strongyl...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Vibrio fortis Dalian14 Isolated from Diseased Sea Urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius)
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Vibrio fortis Dalian14 isolated from diseased sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius) during disease outbreaks in North China. The availability of this genome sequence will facilitate the study of the mechanisms of pathogenicity and evolution of Vibrio species.
