A rapidly evolving secretome builds and patterns a sea shell
Jackson, Daniel J.; McDougall, Carmel; Green, Kathryn; Simpson, Fiona;
; 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, ... -

Jackson, Daniel J.; McDougall, Carmel; Green, Kathryn; Simpson, Fiona;; 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
(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
(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 ... -
Characterization of the pigmented shell-forming proteome of the common grove snail Cepaea nemoralis
(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 ... -
Dynamic expression of ancient and novel molluscan shell genes during ecological transitions - Research article
Jackson, Daniel J.;; Degnan, Bernard M. (BMC evolutionary biology, 2007)
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 ... -
Estimating the Phanerozoic history of the Ascomycota lineages: combining fossil and molecular data.
Beimforde, Christina; Feldberg, Kathrin; Nylinder, Stephan; Rikkinen, Jouko; Tuovila, Hanna; Dörfelt, Heinrich; Gube, Matthias; Jackson, Daniel J.;; Seyfullah, Leyla J.; Schmidt, Alexander R. (Molecular phylogenetics and evolution, 2014-09-01)

Sea shell diversity and rapidly evolving secretomes: insights into the evolution of biomineralization.
(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 Holo-Transcriptome of a Calcified Early Branching Metazoan
(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
(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 ...
