Evolution of the spider homeobox gene repertoire by tandem and whole genome duplication

M. E. Aase-Remedios, R. Janssen, D. J. Leite, L. Sumner-Rooney, A. P. McGregor

The paper investigates the origin of duplicated homeobox genes in spiders, finding most are from a whole genome duplication, with evidence of subfunctionalisation in the NK cluster.

The slow evolving genome of the xenacoelomorph worm Xenoturbella bocki

P. H. Schiffer, P. Natsidis, D. J. Leite, H. Robertson, F. Lapraz, F. Marletaz, B. Fromm, L. Baudry, F. Simpson, E. Hoye, A.-C. Zakrzewski, P. Kapli, K. J. Hoff, S. Mueller, M. Marbouty, , M. J. Telford

This study analyzes the genome of Xenoturbella bocki to assess its phylogenetic position and genomic complexity, finding it has a complex genome similar to other bilaterians.

Lack of support for Deuterostomia prompts reinterpretation of the first Bilateria.

P. Kapli, P. Natsidis, D. J. Leite, M. Fursman, N. Jeffrie, I. A. Rahman, H. Philippe, R. Copley, M. J. Telford

The paper reevaluates the monophyly of Deuterostomia using phylogenomic datasets, finding weak support and suggesting systematic errors may explain apparent support.
