Genomic approaches reveal unexpected genetic divergence within Ciona intestinalisMiho M Suzuki
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell, Biology The University of Edinburgh, Michael Swann Building, The King s Buildings, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, UK
J Mol Evol 61:627-35. 2005..This analysis revealed that specimens from Naples, Italy, have the Pacific-type genome, perhaps due to human-mediated marine transport of species. Despite major genomic divergence, the two forms could be hybridized in the laboratory...
CpG methylation is targeted to transcription units in an invertebrate genomeMiho M Suzuki
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, The University of Edinburgh, Michael Swann Building, The King s Buildings, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, UK
Genome Res 17:625-31. 2007..The results lend support to the hypothesis that CpG methylation functions to suppress spurious transcriptional initiation within infrequently transcribed genes...
DNA methylation landscapes: provocative insights from epigenomicsMiho M Suzuki
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, The University of Edinburgh, Michael Swann Building, The King s Buildings, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, UK
Nat Rev Genet 9:465-76. 2008..Not only is promoter methylation often highly dynamic during development, but many organisms also seem to target DNA methylation specifically to the bodies of active genes...
The draft genome of Ciona intestinalis: insights into chordate and vertebrate originsParamvir Dehal
U S Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, 2800 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94598, USA
Science 298:2157-67. 2002..The ascidian genome has also acquired a number of lineage-specific innovations, including a group of genes engaged in cellulose metabolism that are related to those in bacteria and fungi...
Expression of muscle-related genes and two MyoD genes during amphioxus notochord developmentAki Urano
Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan
Evol Dev 5:447-58. 2003....
C6-like and C3-like molecules from the cephalochordate, amphioxus, suggest a cytolytic complement system in invertebratesMiho M Suzuki
Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan
J Mol Evol 54:671-9. 2002..Only opsonic activity has been assigned to the invertebrate complement system until now. Therefore, this is the first molecular evidence for complement-mediated immunological cytotoxicity in invertebrates...
