The gene complement of the ancestral bilaterian - was Urbilateria a monster? David J Miller, Eldon E Ball Journal of Biology 2009, 8:89 (19 November 2009) Bilateral animals have selectively shed genes as they evolved from their hypothetical ancestor, Urbilateria. Miller and Ball review this genomic history and ask if a recent paper in BMC Evolutionary Biology points to an ancestral worm.

Surprising complexity of the ancestral apoptosis network Christian M Zmasek, Qing Zhang, Yuzhen Ye, Adam Godzik Genome Biology 2007, 8:R226 (24 October 2007) A comparative genomics approach revealed that the genes for several components of the apoptosis network with single copies in vertebrates have multiple paralogs in cnidarian-bilaterian ancestors, suggesting a complex evolutionary history for this network. |
