A horizontal gene transfer supported the evolution of an early metazoan biomineralization strategy
Jackson, Daniel J.; Macis, Luciana; Reitner, Joachim; Wörheide, Gert (BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011)Background The synchronous and widespread adoption of the ability to biomineralize was a defining event for metazoan evolution during the late Precambrian/early Cambrian 545 million years ago. However our understanding on ... -
A rapidly evolving secretome builds and patterns a sea shell
Jackson, Daniel J.; McDougall, Carmel; Green, Kathryn; Simpson, Fiona; Wörheide, Gert; Degnan, Bernard M. (BMC Biology, 2006)Background: Instructions to fabricate mineralized structures with distinct nanoscale architectures, such as seashells and coral and vertebrate skeletons, are encoded in the genomes of a wide variety of animals. In mollusks, ... -

An ancient process in a modern mollusc: early development of the shell in Lymnaea stagnalis
Hohagen, Jennifer; Jackson, Daniel J. (BMC Developmental Biology, 2013)Background The morphological variety displayed by the molluscan shell underlies much of the evolutionary success of this phylum. However, the broad diversity of shell forms, sizes, ornamentations and functions contrasts ... -
An Antarctic molluscan biomineralisation tool-kit
Sleight, Victoria A.; Marie, Benjamin; Jackson, Daniel J.; Dyrynda, Elisabeth A.; Marie, Arul; Clark, Melody S. (Scientific Reports, 2016)The Antarctic clam Laternula elliptica lives almost permanently below 0 °C and therefore is a valuable and tractable model to study the mechanisms of biomineralisation in cold water. The present study employed a ... -
An optimised whole mount in situ hybridisation protocol for the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis
Hohagen, Jennifer; Herlitze, Ines; Jackson, Daniel J. (BMC Developmental Biology, 2015)Abstract Background The ability to visualise the expression of individual genes in situ is an invaluable tool for developmental and evolutionary biologists; it allows for the characterisation of gene function, gene regulation ... -
Characterization of the pigmented shell-forming proteome of the common grove snail Cepaea nemoralis
Mann, Karlheinz; Jackson, Daniel J. (BMC Genomics, 2014)Background With a diversity of pigmented shell morphotypes governed by Mendelian patterns of inheritance, the common grove snail, Cepaea nemoralis, has served as a model for evolutionary biologists and population geneticists ... -
Combining independent de novo assemblies optimizes the coding transcriptome for nonconventional model eukaryotic organisms
Cerveau, Nicolas; Jackson, Daniel J. (BMC Bioinformatics, 2016) -
Dynamic expression of ancient and novel molluscan shell genes during ecological transitions - Research article
Background: The Mollusca constitute one of the most morphologically and ecologically diverse metazoan phyla, occupying a wide range of marine, terrestrial and freshwater habitats. The evolutionary success of the molluscs ... -
Sea shell diversity and rapidly evolving secretomes: insights into the evolution of biomineralization.
Kocot, Kevin M.; Aguilera, Felipe; McDougall, Carmel; Jackson, Daniel J.; Degnan, Bernard M. (Frontiers in zoology, 2016)An external skeleton is an essential part of the body plan of many animals and is thought to be one of the key factors that enabled the great expansion in animal diversity and disparity during the Cambrian explosion. ... -
The evolution of metazoan α-carbonic anhydrases and their roles in calcium carbonate biomineralization
Le Roy, Nathalie; Jackson, Daniel J.; Marie, Benjamin; Ramos-Silva, Paula; Marin, Frédéric (Frontiers in Zoology, 2014)The carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) superfamily is a class of ubiquitous metallo-enzymes that catalyse the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. The α-CA family, present in all metazoan clades, is a key enzyme ... -
The Holo-Transcriptome of a Calcified Early Branching Metazoan
Germer, Juliane; Cerveau, Nicolas; Jackson, Daniel J. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017)djackso@uni-goettingen.de Specialty section: This article was submitted to Aquatic Microbiology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Marine Science Received: 31 October 2016 Accepted: 10 March 2017 Published: 28 ... -
Transposable Elements: From DNA Parasites to Architects of Metazoan Evolution
Piskurek, Oliver; Jackson, Daniel J. (Genes, 2012)One of the most unexpected insights that followed from the completion of the human genome a decade ago was that more than half of our DNA is derived from transposable elements (TEs). Due to advances in high throughput ... -
Variation in rates of early development in Haliotis asinina generate competent larvae of different ages
Jackson, Daniel J.; Degnan, Sandie M.; Degnan, Bernard M. (Frontiers in Zoology, 2012)Introduction Inter-specific comparisons of metazoan developmental mechanisms have provided a wealth of data concerning the evolution of body form and the generation of morphological novelty. Conversely, studies of ...
