Genomic data suggest parallel dental vestigialization within the xenarthran radiation

C. A. Emerling, G. C. Gibb, M.-K. Tilak, J. J. Hughes, M. Kuch, A. T. Duggan, H. N. Poinar, M. W. Nachman, F. Delsuc

The paper uses genomic data to show that dental vestigialization in xenarthrans occurred through independent events rather than a single ancestral decay.

Transcriptomic data reveal divergent paths of chitinase evolution underlying dietary convergence in anteaters and pangolins

R. Allio, S. Teullet, D. Lutgen, A. Magdeleine, R. Koual, M.-K. Tilak, B. de Thoisy, C. A. Emerling, T. Lefebure, F. Delsuc

This study compares transcriptomic data from ant-eating mammals to show divergent chitinase evolution in pangolins and anteaters despite convergent diets.

Independent pseudogenization of CYP2J19 in penguins, owls and kiwis implicates gene in red carotenoid synthesis

C. A. Emerling

The paper identifies CYP2J19 as the carotenoid ketolase in birds, showing its loss or reduced expression in species with dim-light foraging habits and absence of red retinal oil droplets.

Genomic regression of claw keratin, taste receptor and light-associated genes inform biology and evolutionary origins of snakes

C. A. Emerling

The paper investigates gene loss in snake genomes to explore evolutionary origins, finding pseudogenized claw keratins, retained taste receptor capacity, and light-associated gene deletions.
