    • The first myriapod genome sequence reveals conservative arthropod gene content and genome organisation in the centipede Strigamia maritima 

      Chipman, Ariel D; Ferrier, David EK; Brena, Carlo; Qu, Jiaxin; Hughes, Daniel ST; Schröder, Reinhard; Torres-­Oliva, Montserrat et al. (PLOS, 2014)
      Myriapods (e.g., centipedes and millipedes) display a simple homonomous body plan relative to other arthropods. All members of the class are terrestrial, but they attained terrestriality independently of insects. Myriapoda ...

    • Genome sequence of an Australian kangaroo, Macropus eugenii, provides insight into the evolution of mammalian reproduction and development 

      Renfree, Marilyn B; Papenfuss, Anthony T; Deakin, Janine E; Lindsay, James; Heider, Thomas; Belov, Katherine; Rens, Willem et al. (BioMed Central, 2011-12-30)
      Background. We present the genome sequence of the tammar wallaby, Macropus eugenii, which is a member of the kangaroo family and the first representative of the iconic hopping mammals that symbolize Australia to be ...

    • Low-frequency and rare exome chip variants associate with fasting ​glucose and type 2 diabetes susceptibility 

      Wessel, Jennifer; Chu, Audrey Y; Willems, Sara Marie; Wang, Shuai; Yaghootkar, Hanieh; Brody, Jennifer A; Dauriz, Marco et al. (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-01-29)
      Fasting ​glucose and ​insulin are intermediate traits for type 2 diabetes. Here we explore the role of coding variation on these traits by analysis of variants on the HumanExome BeadChip in 60,564 non-diabetic individuals ...
