Genome-wide screening of gene regulation of little skate motor neuron
The little skate, a cartilaginous fish evolutionarily distal from tetrapods, displays walking-like behavior and has conserved genetic programs and neuronal substrates for... -
Comparative analysis of genome-scale, base-resolution DNA methylation profile...
We mapped DNA methylation in 580 animal species (535 vertebrates, 45 invertebrates), resulting in 2443 genome-scale, base-resolution DNA methylation profiles of primary tissue... -
Leucoraja ocellata/erinacea ddRAD fastq
fastq files from ddRAD data of Leucoraja erinacea and L. ocellata -
Base-resolution DNA methylation maps of little skate (Leucoraja erinacea)
Using MetylC-seq we investigated single-base resolution methylomes of embryonic and adult pelvic and pectoral fins of little skate. Overall design: MethylC-seq was perfomred on... -
The little skate genome and the evolutionary emergence of wing-like fin appen...
While retaining ancestral morphological and genomic traits, skates evolved a novel body plan with remarkably enlarged wing-like fins that allowed skates to thrive in benthic... -
Leucoraja erinacea Genome sequencing and assembly
The genome of the little skate as a plateform to understand the origin of their wing-like pectoral fins and the general biological novelties -
Leucoraja erinacea genome sequencing project
The little skate, <i>Leucoraja erinacea</i>, is a member of the most primitive surviving clade of jawed vertebrates and provides unique insight into the origin and... -
The little skate genome and the evolutionary emergence of wing-like fin appen...
While retaining ancestral morphological and genomic traits, skates evolved a novel body plan with remarkably enlarged wing-like fins that allowed skates to thrive in benthic... -
RNASeq of molecular basis of ancestral vertebrate electroreception
Elasmobranch fishes, including sharks, rays, and skates, use specialized electrosensory organs called Ampullae of Lorenzini to detect extremely small changes in environmental... -
Genomewide screening for pectoral fin MN specific markers
The goal of this study is to find skate pectoral fin motor neuron markers. Total RNA was extracted from manually sorted pectoral fin MNs, which were retrogradely labeled and... -
The synarcual of the little skate: Novel development among the vertebrates
The synarcual is a specialized adaptation of the anterior axial skeleton comprising a putatively fused array of vertebral elements characteristic of jawed vertebrate... -

Conserved and unique transcriptional features of pharyngeal arches in the ska...
The origin of the jaw is a long-standing problem in vertebrate evolution. Classical hypotheses of serial homology proposed that the upper and lower jaw evolved through... -
Transcriptome of the Ampullae of Lorenzini in Leucoraja erinacea
The goal of this study was to assemble a de novo transcriptome of an alveolar cluster from the Ampullae of Lorenzini sensory organ in Leucoraja erinacea. -
Late-stage embryonic gene expression in three cartilaginous fishes
Gene expression profiling of pooled late stage embryos from Leucoraja erinacea, Scyliorhinus canicula and Callorhinchus milii show that HOXC cluster genes are not expressed in... -
Evolution of the vertebrate New Head by progressive acquisition of neural cre...
The neural crest is a vertebrate innovation proposed to be a key component of the “New Head” that imbued vertebrates with predatory behavior. To address how evolution of this... -
The little skate genome and the evolutionary emergence of wing-like fin appen...
While retaining ancestral morphological and genomic traits, skates evolved a novel body plan with remarkably enlarged wing-like fins that allowed skates to thrive in benthic... -
Leucoraja erinacea Transcriptome or Gene expression
The goal of this project was to better understand how the developmental loss of anterior portions of the fins of primitive fish contributed to the evolution of tetrapod limbs....
