Evolution of Axial Skeleton Diversity across Reptilia
The axial skeleton is a key diagnostic character of vertebrate animals. Comprising the vertebral column and ribs, the axial skeleton is a support structure from which all appendages of the vertebrate body are suspended. Reptilia is a hugely diverse clade of vertebrates, with regards to body form, …

Kinematics of the equine axial skeleton during aqua-treadmill exercise
Equine aqua-treadmills are increasingly applied within the industry for rehabilitation from injury and training. Research into aqua-treadmill exercise has been increasing yet there are still opportunities to further quantify the effect of water depth on locomotion in order to optimise …

CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE 3' HOX GENES, HOXA1, HOXB1, AND HOXB2, TO PATTERNING OF THE AXIAL SKELETON DURING DEVELOPMENT
… in vertebral development, we analyzed the skeletons of 18.5dpc Hoxa1, Hoxb1, and Hoxb2 loss-of-function single and double mutant embryos. Our analysis reveals that loss of Hoxb1 and Hoxb2 function leads to multiple homeotic transformations along the vertebral column. The dosages of both …

The function of E2F6 in the Polycomb complex
… leads to posterior transformations of the axial skeleton as well as other developmental abnormalities such as hematopoietic, cerebellar and smooth muscle defects. The PcG complex has been implicated in cell cycle control since several of its members, including the oncoprotein Bmi 1, appear …

Genetic and molecular factors regulating growth and morphology in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis)
… in the length of the urostyle relative to the axial skeleton. Differential expression analysis revealed a high number of differentially expressed transcripts (DETs) associated with sex in muscle, liver, and pterygiophores. A subset of 31 ubiquitous DETs between ellipticity groups were …

MicroRNAs : principles of target recognition and developmental roles
… in the spatial patterning of the vertebrate axial skeleton. Isolating the cell populations that express the miRNA during early mammalian development, we attempt to characterize the direct in vivo targets of miR-196 and dissect the molecular underpinnings of the phenotypes observed.

Development of proxy seawater records from gorgonian coral skeletons
… from the chemical composition of biogenic skeletons preserved in the geologic record. The isotope and elemental composition of scleractinian corals have proven to be useful tools for palaeoceanographic reconstruction, providing information about the surface and deep oceans on time scales of …
