Comparative phylogenomic analyses of teleost fish Hox gene clusters: lessons from the cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni

Simone Hoegg, Jeffrey L Boore, Jennifer V Kuehl, Axel Meyer BMC Genomics 2007, 8:317 (10 September 2007)

Comparing Hox gene clusters in Cichlid fish to known Hox genes in other teleosts reveals a surprising level of variation between species and an ongoing process of gene loss.

Phylogenomic analyses of KCNA gene clusters in vertebrates: why do gene clusters stay intact?

Simone Hoegg, Axel Meyer BMC Evolutionary Biology 2007, 7:139 (15 August 2007)

Surprisingly few regulatory elements have been retained in vertebrate KCNA gene clusters, which encode potassium channels, suggesting that processes other than regulatory evolution have led to the conservation of the gene clusters.

Comparative genomics using Fugu reveals insights into regulatory subfunctionalization

Adam Woolfe, Greg Elgar Genome Biology 2007, 8:R53 (11 April 2007)

Fish-mammal genomic alignments were used to compare over 800 conserved non-coding elements that associate with genes that have undergone fish-specific duplication and retention, revealing a pattern of element retention and loss between paralogs indicative of subfunctionalization.

Identification of multiple integrin β1 homologs in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

A Paul Mould, Jennifer A McLeish, Julie Huxley-Jones, Alexander C Goonesinghe, Adam FL Hurlstone, Raymond P Boot-Handford, Martin J Humphries BMC Cell Biology 2006, 7:24 (20 June 2006)

Among the many and varied zebrafish beta1 integrin paralogs, two closely resemble those in other vertebrates, a third may have altered ligand binding and several more truncated forms lack the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.
