Hsp70 sequences indicate that choanoflagellates are closely related to animals
Over 130 years ago, James-Clark noted a remarkable structural similarity between the feeding cells of sponges (choanocytes) and a group of free-living protists, the choanoflagellates. Both cell types possess a single flagellum surrounded by a collar of fine tentacles. The similarity led to the hypothesis that sponges, and, by implication, other animals, evolved from choanoflagellate-like ancest...
متن کاملMADS-box genes reveal that gnetophytes are more closely related to conifers than to flowering plants.
The evolutionary origin of the angiosperms (flowering plants sensu stricto) is still enigmatic. Answers to the question of angiosperm origins are intimately connected to the identification of their sister group among extinct and extant taxa. Most phylogenetic analyses based on morphological data agree that among the groups of extant seed plants, the gnetophytes are the sister group of the angio...
متن کاملAttending to items in working memory: evidence that refreshing and memory search are closely related.
Refreshing refers to the use of attention to reactivate items in working memory (WM). In the present study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that refreshing is closely related to memory search. The assumption is that refreshing and memory search both rely on a basic covert memory process that quickly retrieves the memory items into the focus of attention, thereby reactivating the information (Co...
متن کاملOxymonads are closely related to the excavate taxon Trimastix.
Despite intensive study in recent years, large-scale eukaryote phylogeny remains poorly resolved. This is particularly problematic among the groups considered to be potential early branches. In many recent systematic schemes for early eukaryotic evolution, the amitochondriate protists oxymonads and Trimastix have figured prominently, having been suggested as members of many of the putative deep...
متن کاملHybrid DNA artifact from PCR of closely related target sequences.
We have recently determined through standard molecular cloning methods that Xenopus laevis contains two different nonallelic preproinsulin genes which are very similar to each other (i.e. 94% identity in the coding region) (1). In order to obtain the remaining sequence of the 5'-untranslated regions we used the anchored polymerase chain reaction method as described by others (2,3). We first rev...
