Before the consortium came together, he had participated in sequencing the genomes of two vocal learners, a songbird and a parrot, but he knew he couldn't do all of the additional sequencing and analysis work that would be required to identify genes related to vocal learning — not by himself, at least — so he teamed up with Genome 10K, a project aiming to collect genomes for 10,000 vertebrate species.

Hughes's winning research proposed using microarray techniques to compare the genomes of a variety of vertebrate animals to test for common regulatory elements that determine gene expression.

For most vertebrates it's not immediately apparent why genome deletions and add - ons typically go hand - in - hand.

While that is close to true for coelacanths, other famous «living fossils,» which have the slowest molecular evolutionary rate among vertebrates, the Lingula genome has been evolving rapidly, despite the lack of changes in appearance.

Among vertebrates, the fish model displays easy high density breeding (short generation time), favourable biological peculiarities (accessibility and transparency of the eggs, genome sequenced for both species used on the platform), original technological approaches (confocal and two - photon microscopy), as well as a wide accessibility to fully transparent larvae usable up to 5 days after fertilization.

The phylogenetic position of the cephalochordate amphioxus, together with its relatively simple and evolutionarily conserved morphology and genome structure, has led to its use as a model for studies of animal evolution, with a special focus on the origin of deuterostomes, chordates, and vertebrates.
