The origin of organismal complexity is generally thought to be tightly coupled to the evolution
of new gene functions arising subsequent to gene duplication. Under the classical model …

HOX genes specify cell fate in the anterior-posterior axis of animal embryos. Invertebrate
chordates have one HOXcluster, but mammals have four, suggesting that cluster duplication …

In chordate phylogeny, changes in the nervous system, jaws, and appendages transformed
meek filter feeders into fearsome predators1. Gene duplication is thought to promote such …

To help understand mechanisms of vertebrate genome evolution, we have compared
zebrafish and tetrapod gene maps. It has been suggested that translocations are fixed more …

Volumes of oily wastewater are inevitably generated by every walk of life. The removal of oil
particles from oil-contaminated wastewater which is characterized as huge amounts, …

We studied the selectivity of a functional model of cytochrome c oxidase's active site that
mimics the coordination environment and relative locations of Fe a3 , Cu B , and Tyr 244 . To …

Half of all vertebrate species are teleost fish. What accounts for this explosion of biodiversity?
Recent evidence and advances in evolutionary theory suggest that genomic features could …

Zebrafish mutations define the functions of hundreds of essential genes in the vertebrate
genome. To accelerate the molecular analysis of zebrafish mutations and to facilitate …

An experimental refrigerant loop has been established in the present study to measure the
condensation heat transfer coefficient h r and frictional pressure drop ΔP f of R-134a in a …

The role of Anti-Müllerian hormone (Amh) during gonad development has been studied
extensively in mammals, but is less well understood in other vertebrates. In male mammalian …
