Here we analyze the metazoan mitochondrial sequences of GenBank using a combination of distance-based clustering and phylogenetic analysis. Because of their comparatively rapid evolutionary rates and ...

Detecting danger is key to the survival and success of all species. Animal nervous and immune systems cooperate to optimize danger detection. Preceding studies have highlighted the benefits of ...

Next, only the metazoan flat files were extracted from the flat files. From the flat files, each gene sequence was truncated using gene location information, and separate FASTA files were prepared for ...

The role of the cellular microenvironment in enabling metazoan tissue genesis remains obscure. Ctenophora has recently emerged as one of the earliest-branching extant animal phyla, providing a unique ...
