Vertebrates exhibit substantial diversity in genome size and some of the largest genomes
exist in species that uniquely inform diverse areas of basic and biomedical research. For …

The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is one of few vertebrate species known to reproducibly
eliminate large fractions of its genome during normal embryonic development. This …

The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is one of few vertebrate species that is known to
reproducibly eliminate large fractions of its genome during normal embryonic development. In …

The sea lamprey(Petromyzon marinus) is a member of an ancient vertebrate lineage that
diverged from our own lineage approximately 500 million years ago, before the evolution of …

At 32 Gb, the salamander genome is~ 45% larger than the largest genomes assembled to
date (eg the 22 Gb loblolly pine genome 1). As such there are few experimental data that can …

Salamanders are important vertebrate model organisms in regenerative medicine. In this
application, we proposed to enhance research resources for the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma …

Programmed DNA loss is a gene silencing mechanism that is employed by several
vertebrate and nonvertebrate lineages, including all living jawless vertebrates and songbirds. …

The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) serves as a comparative model for reconstructing
vertebrate evolution. To enable more informed analyses, we developed a new assembly of the …

The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) provides critical models for studying regeneration,
evolution, and development. However, its large genome (∼32 Gb) presents a formidable barrier …
