Comparative description of ten transcriptomes of newly sequenced invertebrates and efficiency estimation of genomic sampling in non-model taxa
(BioMed Central, 2012)Introduction: Traditionally, genomic or transcriptomic data have been restricted to a few model or emerging model organisms, and to a handful of species of medical and/or environmental importance. Next-generation sequencing ... -
Evidence for a clade composed of molluscs with serially repeated structures: Monoplacophorans are related to chitons
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006)Monoplacophorans are among the rarest members of the phylum Mollusca. Previously only known from fossils since the Cambrian, the first living monoplacophoran was discovered during the famous second Galathea deep-sea ... -
A Phylogeny of Vetigastropoda and Other "Archaeogastropods": Re-Organizing Old Gastropod Clades
