Diverse DNA Transposons in Rotifers of the Class Bdelloidea
Arkhipova, Irina; Meselson, Matthew (National Academy of Sciences, 2005)We surveyed the diversity, structural organization, and patterns of evolution of DNA transposons in rotifers of the class Bdelloidea, a group of basal triploblast animals that appears to have evolved for millions of years ... -
Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bdelloid Rotifers
Gladyshev, Evgeniy; Meselson, Matthew; Arkhipova, Irina (Science, 2008)Horizontal gene transfer in metazoans has been documented in only a few species and is usually associated with endosymbiosis or parasitism. By contrast, in bdelloid rotifers we found many genes that appear to have originated ...
