Pseudogenisation of NK3 Homeobox 2 (Nkx3.2) in Monotremes Provides Insight into Unique Gastric Anatomy and Physiology

J. B. Dann, Z. Qu, L. Shearwin-Whyatt, R. van der Ploeg, F. Grutzner

The paper identifies pseudogenisation of Nkx3.2 in monotremes and links it to unique gastric anatomy and physiology, suggesting gene loss influences phenotypic evolution.

Incomplete transcriptional dosage compensation of vertebrate sex chromosomes is balanced by post-transcriptional compensation.

N. C. Lister, A. M. Milton, H. R. Patel, S. Waters, B. J. Hanrahan, K. L. McIntyre, A. M. Livernois, L. K. Wee, A. R. Ringel, S. Mundlos, M. I. Robson, L. Shearwin-Whyatt, F. Grutzner, J. A. Marshall Graves, A. Ruiz-Herrera, P. D. Waters

The paper shows that sex chromosome gene dosage imbalance is compensated by post-transcriptional mechanisms in platypus and chicken, achieving equal protein levels between sexes.
