From gilbertd from bio.indiana.edu Mon May 31 17:38:16 2010 From: gilbertd from bio.indiana.edu (Don Gilbert) Date: Mon May 31 17:39:08 2010 Subject: [Arthropod] Six ancient arthropod gene groupings: who would like to describe them? Message-ID: I've located 6 sets of ancient conserved gene groupings, in daphnia thru diptera. Is there someone who would like to write these into a paper, adding some biology? These are two or more genes that are next to each other in Daphnia and 5 or 4 insects (aphid, pediculus, nasonia, drosmel/drosmoj, anopheles). Some of these may have been found as paired before, but I can't find reports for others. Some are duplicates, others appear to be 2 different genes, and one case looks like 3 different genes. One case may have conserved non-coding expression between paired coding genes. These are drawn from data of http://arthropods.eugenes.org/ -- Don Gilbert
