Phylogeny of the nematode genus Pristionchusand implications for biodiversity, biogeography and the evolution of hermaphroditism (2007)

Mayer, Werner E, Herrmann, Matthias, Sommer, Ralf J

Abstract Background The nematode Pristionchus pacificus has originally been developed as a satellite organism for comparison to Caenorhabditis elegans . A 10X coverage of the whole genome of P....

Sex, bugs and Haldane's rule: the nematode genus Pristionchusin the United States (2006)

Herrmann, Matthias, Mayer, Werner E, Sommer, Ralf J

Abstract Background The nematode Pristionchus pacificus has been developed as a satellite organism in evolutionary developmental biology for comparison to Caenorhabditis elegans . Comparative studies...

The Nematode Pristionchus pacificus (Nematoda: Diplogastridae) Is Associated with the Oriental Beetle Exomala orientalis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Japan (2004)

Matthias Herrmann, Werner E. Mayer, Ray L. Hong, Simone Kienle, Ryuji Minasaki, Ralf J. Sommer

Pristionchus pacificus has been developed as a nematode satellite organism in evolutionary developmental biology. Detailed studies of vulva development revealed multiple differences in genetic and...

Linkage relationships of genes coding for alpha(2)- macroglobulin C3 and C4 in the zebrafish: Implications for the evolution of the complement and Mhc systems (2002)

Samonte, Irene E., Sato, Akie, Mayer, Werner E., Shintani, Seikou, Klein, Jan

The alpha(2)-macroglobulin (A2M) and the complement components C3 and C4 are related proteins derived from a common ancestor. Theoretically, this derivation could have occurred either by tandem...

Persistence of neutral polymorphisms in Lake Victoria cichlid fish

Nagl, Sandra, Tichy, Herbert, Mayer, Werner E., Takahata, Naoyuki, Klein, Jan

Phylogenetic trees for groups of closely related species often have different topologies, depending on the genes used. One explanation for the discordant topologies is the persistence of...

The effect of selection on a long wavelength-sensitive (LWS) opsin gene of Lake Victoria cichlid fishes

Terai, Yohey, Mayer, Werner E., Klein, Jan, Tichy, Herbert, Okada, Norihiro

In East African Lake Victoria >200 endemic species of haplochromine fishes have been described on the basis of morphological and behavioral differences. Yet molecular analysis has failed to reveal...

Isolation and characterization of lymphocyte-like cells from a lamprey

Mayer, Werner E., Uinuk-ool, Tatiana, Tichy, Herbert, Gartland, Lanier A., Klein, Jan, Cooper, Max D.

Lymphocyte-like cells in the intestine of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, were isolated by flow cytometry under light-scatter conditions used for the purification of mouse intestinal...

Lamprey lymphocyte-like cells express homologs of genes involved in immunologically relevant activities of mammalian lymphocytes

Uinuk-ool, Tatiana, Mayer, Werner E., Sato, Akie, Dongak, Roman, Cooper, Max D., Klein, Jan

To shed light on the origin of adaptive immunity, a cDNA library was prepared from purified lymphocyte-like cells of a jawless vertebrate, the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). Randomly selected cDNA...

Genes encoding putative natural killer cell C-type lectin receptors in teleostean fishes

Sato, Akie, Mayer, Werner E., Overath, Peter, Klein, Jan

Mammalian natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes that express receptors specific for MHC class I molecules. The NK cell receptors belong to two structurally unrelated families, the...

Prototypic T cell receptor and CD4-like coreceptor are expressed by lymphocytes in the agnathan sea lamprey

Pancer, Zeev, Mayer, Werner E., Klein, Jan, Cooper, Max D.

All jawed vertebrates have highly diverse lymphocyte receptors, which allow discrimination between self and nonself antigens as well as the recognition of potential pathogens. Key elements of the...

Persistence of Mhc heterozygosity in homozygous clonal killifish, Rivulus marmoratus: implications for the origin of hermaphroditism.

Sato, Akie, Satta, Yoko, Figueroa, Felipe, Mayer, Werner E, Zaleska-Rutczynska, Zofia, Toyosawa, Satoru, ...

The mangrove killifish Rivulus marmoratus, a neotropical fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes, is the only known obligatorily selfing, synchronous hermaphroditic vertebrate. To shed light on its...
