Evolution of Duplicated Hox Gene Clusters in Land Snails and Slugs Molluscs of the order Stylommatophora underwent an ancient genome duplication. We show that stylommatophoran snails and slugs have two broken and incomplete Hox gene clusters; HoxA generally has 9 ge...

Paper in focus: Kariyayama, Ozaki and Colleagues reveal the presence of domain-shuffling origin genes before and after the divergence of cyclostomes and gnathostomes, suggesting that domain shuffling as a key mechanism in vertebrate early evolution.

Exploring the Influence of Neomorphic Gekkotan Paraphalanges on Limb Modularity and Integration In this work, we evaluated the influence of paraphalanges on the organization of the limbs of gekkotans. One of our main results reveals that paraphalanges increase modularity along the proximaldista...
