There is increasing evidence for a large-scale duplication of genes in some chelicerate lineages including two rounds of whole genome duplication (WGD) in horseshoe crabs. To investigate this further, we sequenced and analyzed the genome of the common house spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum. We found pervasive duplication of both coding and non-coding genes in this spider, including two clusters of Hox genes. Analysis of synteny conservation across the P. tepidariorum genome suggests that there has been an ancient WGD in spiders. Comparison with the genomes of other chelicerates, including that of the newly sequenced bark scorpion Centruroides sculpturatus, suggests that this event occurred in the common ancestor of spiders and scorpions, and is probably independent of the WGDs in horseshoe crabs. Furthermore, characterization of the sequence and expression of the Hox paralogs in P. tepidariorum suggests that many have been subject to neo-functionalization and/or sub-functionalization since their duplication. Our results reveal that spiders and scorpions are likely the descendants of a polyploid ancestor that lived more than 450 MYA. Given the extensive morphological diversity and ecological adaptations found among these animals, rivaling those of vertebrates, our study of the ancient WGD event in Arachnopulmonata provides a new comparative platform to explore common and divergent evolutionary outcomes of polyploidization events across eukaryotes."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s12915-017-0399-x"],["dc.identifier.pmid","28756775"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15127"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59010"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.intern","In goescholar not merged with http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/14757 but duplicate"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","The house spider genome reveals an ancient whole-genome duplication during arachnid evolution"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Recent results with engrailed (en), hedgehog (hh), wingless (wg), and cubitus-interruptus (ci) have shown that the dorsal segments are patterned differently from the ventral segments. Ventrally, gene expression is compatible with the classical autoregulatory loop known from Drosophila to specify the parasegment boundary. In the dorsal segments, however, this Wg/Hh autoregulatory loop cannot be present because the observed gene expression patterns argue against the involvement of Wg signalling. In this paper, we present further evidence against an involvement of Wg signalling in dorsal segmentation and propose a hypothesis about how dorsal segmental boundaries may be controlled in a wg-independent way. We find that (1) the Notum gene, a modulator of the Wg gradient in Drosophila, is not expressed in the dorsal segments. (2) The H15/midline gene, a repressor of Wg action in Drosophila, is not expressed in the dorsal segments, except for future heart tissue. (3) The patched (ptc) gene, which encodes a Hh receptor, is strongly expressed in the dorsal segments, which is incompatible with Wg-Hh autoregulation. The available data suggest that anterior-posterior (AP) boundary formation in dorsal segments could instead rely on Dpp signalling rather than Wg signalling. We present a hypothesis that relies on Hh-mediated activation of Dpp signalling and optomotor-blind (omb) expression to establish the dorsal AP boundary (the future tergite boundary). The proposed mechanism is similar to the mechanism used to establish the AP boundary in Drosophila wings and ventral pleura."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00427-008-0231-2"],["dc.identifier.isi","000257395200003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18592266"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/53865"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0949-944X"],["dc.title","Evidence for Wg-independent tergite boundary formation in the millipede Glomeris marginata"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In this species a hierarchic cascade of segmentation genes subdivides the blastoderm stepwise into single segment wide regions. However, segmentation in the fly is a derived feature since all segments form virtually simultaneously. Conversely, in the vast majority of arthropods the posterior segments form one at a time from a posterior pre-segmental zone. The pair rule genes (PRGs) comprise an important level of the Drosophila segmentation gene cascade and are indeed the first genes that are expressed in typical transverse stripes in the early embryo. Information on expression and function of PRGs outside the insects, however, is scarce. Results: Here we present the expression of the pair rule gene orthologs in the pill millipede Glomeris marginata (Myriapoda: Diplopoda). We find evidence that these genes are involved in segmentation and that components of the hierarchic interaction of the gene network as found in insects may be conserved. We further provide evidence that segments are formed in a single-segment periodicity rather than in pairs of two like in another myriapod, the centipede Strigamia maritima. Finally we show that decoupling of dorsal and ventral segmentation in Glomeris appears already at the level of the PRGs. Conclusions: Although the pair rule gene network is partially conserved among insects and myriapods, some aspects of PRG interaction are, as suggested by expression pattern analysis, convergent, even within the Myriapoda. Conserved expression patterns of PRGs in insects and myriapods, however, may represent ancestral features involved in segmenting the arthropod ancestor."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/2041-9139-2-5"],["dc.identifier.isi","000310693900005"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21352542"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/5995"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/24084"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","2041-9139"],["dc.rights","CC BY 2.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0"],["dc.title","Expression of myriapod pair rule gene orthologs"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We investigated the expression of onychophoran homologs of genes that are involved in dorso-ventral (DV) and proximo-distal (PD) limb patterning in arthropods. We find that the two onychophoran optomotor-blind (omb) genes, omb-1 and omb-2, are both expressed in conserved patterns in the dorsal ectoderm of the limbs, including the onychophoran antennae (the frontal appendages). Surprisingly, the expression of decapentaplegic (dpp), which acts upstream of omb in Drosophila, is partially reversed in onychophoran limbs compared to its expression in arthropods. A conserved feature of dpp expression in arthropods and onychophorans, however, is the prominent expression of dpp in the tips of developing limbs, which, therefore, may represent the ancestral pattern. The expression patterns of wingless (wg) and H15 are very diverged in onychophorans. The wg gene is only expressed in the limb tips and the single H15 gene is expressed in a few dorsal limb cells, but not on the ventral side. The expression of wg and dpp at the limb tips is one of the three possible alternatives predicted by the topology model of arthropod limb patterning and is, thus, compatible with a conserved function of wg and dpp in the patterning of the PD axis. On the other hand, DV limb gene expression is less conserved, and the specification of ventral fate appears to involve neither wg nor H15 expression."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/ede.12107"],["dc.identifier.isi","000349042300003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25627711"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/38530"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","1525-142X"],["dc.relation.issn","1520-541X"],["dc.title","Aspects of dorso-ventral and proximo-distal limb patterning in onychophorans"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

There are thirteen subfamilies of Wnt genes in metazoans and this gene diversity appeared early in animal evolution. The loss of Wnt subfamilies appears to be common in insects, but little is known about the Wnt repertoire in other arthropods, and moreover the expression and function of these genes have only been investigated in a few protostomes outside the relatively Wnt-poor model species Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. To investigate the evolution of this important gene family more broadly in protostomes, we surveyed the Wnt gene diversity in the crustacean Daphnia pulex, the chelicerates Ixodes scapularis and Achaearanea tepidariorum, the myriapod Glomeris marginata and the annelid Platynereis dumerilii. We also characterised Wnt gene expression in the latter three species, and further investigated expression of these genes in the beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results: We found that Daphnia and Platynereis both contain twelve Wnt subfamilies demonstrating that the common ancestors of arthropods, ecdysozoans and protostomes possessed all members of all Wnt subfamilies except Wnt3. Furthermore, although there is striking loss of Wnt genes in insects, other arthropods have maintained greater Wnt gene diversity. The expression of many Wnt genes overlap in segmentally reiterated patterns and in the segment addition zone, and while these patterns can be relatively conserved among arthropods and the annelid, there have also been changes in the expression of some Wnt genes in the course of protostome evolution. Nevertheless, our results strongly support the parasegment as the primary segmental unit in arthropods, and suggest further similarities between segmental and parasegmental regulation by Wnt genes in annelids and arthropods respectively. Conclusions: Despite frequent losses of Wnt gene subfamilies in lineages such as insects, nematodes and leeches, most protostomes have probably maintained much of their ancestral repertoire of twelve Wnt genes. The maintenance of a large set of these ligands could be in part due to their combinatorial activity in various tissues"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/1471-2148-10-374"],["dc.identifier.isi","000287576000002"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21122121"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/18218"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1471-2148"],["dc.title","Conservation, loss, and redeployment of Wnt ligands in protostomes: implications for understanding the evolution of segment formation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, H15 has a paralogous gene, midline (mid) in Drosophila and H15 duplicates are also present in Cupiennius and the millipede Glomeris marginata.
