Sequencing of a hagfish genome — one of the two jawless vertebrate lineages (cyclostomes) — constrains the timing and nature of genome duplication events that characterize early vertebrate evolution.
A new study constructs the first 3D single-cell brain atlas of the lamprey, uncovering the 450-million-year-old molecular ...
The origin of the vertebrate skull is a topic of much debate among evolutionary biologists. Some believe that the vertebrate head has developed as a result of modification of the segmental elements of ...
The coelacanth is known as a "living fossil" because its anatomy has changed little in the last 65 million years. Despite being one of the most studied fish in history, it continues to reveal new ...
What did the very first complex vertebrate brain look like? To find out, scientists turned to an unlikely time traveler: the ...

Regulation of gene expression is arguably the main mechanism underlying the phenotypic diversity of tissues within and between species. Here we assembled an extensive transcriptomic dataset covering 8 ...
"This multi-author, six-volume work summarizes our current knowledge on the developmental biology of all major invertebrate animal phyla"--Volume 1, page [4] of cover. Vol. 1. Introduction, ...
Scientists have investigated lamprey embryos using cutting-edge microscopic techniques to reveal interesting insights about vertebrate head evolution, clarifying an unresolved mystery in basic science ...
