Capturing changes to animal complexity from quantifiable patterns in genomic data

Kevin J. Peterson, Alexander W. Clarke, Grygoriy Zolotarov, Bradley Deline, Trevor D. Lamb, Mark A. McPeek, Pedro Martı́nez, Bastian Fromm

The paper analyzes genomic data from 32 animal species to explore how changes in regulatory genes and microRNAs relate to morphological complexity and disparity, finding no link between genome size and disparity but strong associations between gene loss and parasitism, and microRNA increases and complexity.
