This study investigates how Myosin heavy chain gene duplications and losses shaped the evolution of tail muscle diversity in Oikopleura dioica, revealing functional specialization within a minimal musculature.

This study examines the downstream effects of Fgf signaling changes in Oikopleura dioica, showing expanded Fgf receptors and simplified RTK pathways.

This paper investigates how gene loss and duplication in Fgf subfamilies influenced chordate evolution, particularly in appendicularians, revealing evolutionary patterns and functional shifts.

The paper shows extreme genome scrambling in cryptic Oikopleura dioica species, revealing high rates of gene order rearrangements and insights into synteny conservation mechanisms.
