Dawson, T. F., Boone, A. N., Senatore, A., Piticaru, J., Thiyagalingam, S., Jackson, D., …Spafford, J. D. (2014). Gene Splicing of an Invertebrate Beta Subunit (LCavβ) in the N-Terminal and HOOK Domains and Its Regulation of LCav1 and LCav2 Calcium Channels. PLoS ONE, 9(4), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0092941

The accessory beta subunit (Cavβ) of calcium channels first appear in the same genome as Cav1 L-type calcium channels in single-celled coanoflagellates. The complexity of this relationship expanded in vertebrates to include four different possible Ca...

A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome (2014)
Journal Article
Liu, M. M., Davey, J. W., Jackson, D. J., Blaxter, M. L., & Davison, A. (2014). A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome. International Journal of Developmental Biology, 58, https://doi.org/10.1387/ijdb.140121ad

The early animal embryo is entirely reliant on maternal gene products for a ‘jump-start’ that transforms a transcriptionally inactive embryo into a fully functioning zygote. Despite extensive work on model species, it has not been possible to perform... Read More about A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome.
