Bioessays 31:736-47. 2009..Hence, miRNAs might play an important role in shaping metazoan macroevolution, and might be part of the solution to the Cambrian conundrum...- Origin of the Eumetazoa: testing ecological predictions of molecular clocks against the Proterozoic fossil recordKevin J Peterson
Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:9547-52. 2005..Thus, the more readily preserved microfossil record provides positive evidence for the absence of pre-Ediacaran eumetazoans and strongly supports the veracity, and therefore more general application, of the ME molecular clock... - MicroRNAs and the advent of vertebrate morphological complexityAlysha M Heimberg
Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:2946-50. 2008..We hypothesize that lying behind the origin of vertebrate complexity is the dramatic expansion of the noncoding RNA inventory including miRNAs, rather than an increase in the protein-encoding inventory caused by GDEs... - microRNAs reveal the interrelationships of hagfish, lampreys, and gnathostomes and the nature of the ancestral vertebrateAlysha M Heimberg

Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 31:1208-15. 2004..flava are arranged in a single cluster. Of particular importance is the isolation of three posterior or Abd-B Hox genes; these genes are only shared with echinoderms, and thus support the monophyly of Ambulacraria... - Phylogenetic distribution of microRNAs supports the basal position of acoel flatworms and the polyphyly of PlatyhelminthesLorenzo F Sempere

Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:6536-41. 2004..These results are in accord with the known fossil record and support the view that the Cambrian explosion reflects, in part, the diversification of bilaterian phyla... - The identification of microRNAs in calcisponges: independent evolution of microRNAs in basal metazoansJeffrey M Robinson
Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol 320:84-93. 2013..The role(s) miRNAs play though in sponge biology and evolution remains an open question... - Do miRNAs have a deep evolutionary history?James E Tarver
School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Bioessays 34:857-66. 2012..Therefore, at present only five groups of eukaryotes are known to possess miRNAs, indicating that miRNAs have evolved independently within eukaryotes through exaptation of their shared inherited RNAi machinery... - A molecular palaeobiological hypothesis for the origin of aplacophoran molluscs and their derivation from chiton-like ancestorsJakob Vinther
Department of Geology and Geophysics, Yale University, PO Box 208109, New Haven, CT 06520 8109, USA
Proc Biol Sci 279:1259-68. 2012..The recovery of cephalopods as a sister group to aculiferans suggests that the plesiomorphic condition in molluscs might be a morphology similar to that found in monoplacophorans... - microRNA complements in deuterostomes: origin and evolution of microRNAsFlorent Campo-Paysaa

Dartmouth Coll, Hanover, NH
Evol Dev 4:405-17. 2002..In addition, we conclude that P. flava most likely does not possess a true endostyle; rather during the evolution of the endostyle NK2.1 was recruited from its more general role in pharynx development... - Genetic organization and embryonic expression of the ParaHox genes in the sea urchin S. purpuratus: insights into the relationship between clustering and colinearityMaria I Arnone
