The complex evolutionary history of sulfoxide synthase in ovothiol biosynthesis.
TL;DR: The evolutionary history of OvoA in Metazoa is investigated, reporting its monophyletic ancient origins, which could be traced back to the latest common ancestor of Choanozoa, and it is shown that OvoB is missing in several major extant taxa and this patchy distribution is discussed in the light of the massive genome reduction events documented inMetazoa.

A Survey on the Distribution of Ovothiol and ovoA Gene Expression in Different Tissues and Cells: A Comparative Analysis in Sea Urchins and Mussels

TL;DR: Compared ovothiol biosynthesis in the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus and the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, the two species that represent the richest sources of these compounds among marine invertebrates, provides the basis for future biotechnological investigations on these valuable compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper , a straightforward and broadly applicable method for the identification of structural variants (SVs) in fully assembled diploid genomes, leveraging the same reads used for assembly, is described.

Comparative analysis of Presence-Absence gene Variations in five hard tick species: impact and functional considerations.
Umberto Rosani,Marco Sollitto,Nicolò Fogal,Cristiano Salata +3 more
TL;DR: This work exploited 350 resequencing datasets of Dermacentor silvarum, Haemaphysalis longicornis, Ixodes persulcatus, Rhip icephalus microplus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus hard tick specimens to reveal the extension of PAV and the conservation of dispensable genes among individuals and, comparatively, between species.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors characterized the CRP-I gene cluster in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis, which includes about 50 paralogous genes and pseudogenes, mostly packed in a small genomic region within chromosome 5.
