Urokodia sheds light on the origin of chelicerae and book gills of Chelicerata

By Yu Liu, Lorenzo Lustri, Huijuan Mai, Mark Williams, Liming Liu, Yani Tang, Thomas Harvey, Xianguang Hou
| Nature Verified
Abstract Chelicerates are a diverse group of terrestrial and aquatic arthropods, yet their origin and early evolution remain debated1,2,3,4,5,6. Among different hypotheses7,8,9,10,11, one proposes that the front appendages, known as chelicerae, of chelicerates evolved from the short great appendages (SGAs) of Cambrian megacheirans12,13,14,15,16 and that book gills originated from their trunk limbs7.

The role of transposon activity in shaping cis-regulatory element evolution after whole genome duplication

|
By Oystein Monsen, Lars Gronvold, Alex Datsomor, Thomas Harvey
| BioRxiv
Abstract Two of the most potent drivers of genome evolution in eukaryotes are whole genome duplications (WGD) and transposable element (TE) activity. These two mutational forces can also play synergistic roles; WGDs result in both cellular stress and functional redundancy, which would allow TEs to escape host-silencing mechanisms and effectively spread with reduced impact on fitness.
