Direct observation of the evolution of cell-type specific microRNA expression signatures supports the hematopoietic origin model of endothelial cells

A. E. Jenike, K. M. Jenike, K. J. Peterson, B. Fromm, M. K. Halushka

The paper directly observes the evolution of a cell-type by tracking Mir-126 microRNA expression from proto-endothelial amoebocytes in tunicates to endothelial cells in vertebrates.

MicroRNAs are deeply linked to the emergence of the complex octopus brain

G. Zolotarov, B. Fromm, I. Legnini, S. Ayoub, G. Polese, V. Maselli, P. J. Chabot, J. Vinther, R. Styfhals, E. Seuntjens, A. Di Cosmo, K. J. Peterson, N. Rajewsky

The paper profiles mRNAs and small RNAs in 18 octopus tissues, showing a massive expansion of miRNA genes in neuronal tissues and proposing miRNAs are linked to complex brain evolution.

microRNAs as Indicators into the Causes and Consequences of Whole Genome Duplication Events

K. J. Peterson, A. Beavan, P. Chabot, M. L. McPeek, D. Pisani, B. Fromm, O. Simakov

This study investigates the role of microRNAs in whole genome duplication events, finding that miRNA paralogues are functionally equivalent and that miRNA seed sequence diversity, not WGDs, correlates with morphological complexity.
