Genomic Basis For The Convergent Evolution Of Electric

Article 1. Gallant, Jason R. et al. 2014. Genomic basis for the convergent evolution of electric organs. Science 344 (6191) :1522-1525. †¢ (Ho)- The electric organs are a characteristic in electric fishes that have changed separately numerous times over generations and are used to make electricity to navigate, to communicate, to help in defense and to aid in catching and eating prey but have no similarities between the lineages. †¢ (Ha)- The electric organs are a characteristic in electric fishes that have changed separately numerous times over generations in order to make electricity to navigate, to communicate, to help in defense and to aid in catching and eating prey but have similarities between the lineages, like pathways that affect certain cells and similar transcription factors. †¢ The article was an experimental article. One of the methods used was next generation sequencing technologies in order to make an assembly of the electric eels genome. The experiment also used variance filtering in order to show sets of tissue specific regulated genes and used de nova transcriptome assembly in various different species skeletal muscles. They also used reciprocal BLAST seeking of the group of electric eel genes accompanied by the matches that were also identified through manual conformation. They concentrated on convergent assets of electrical organs against skeletal muscle amid lineages, and then inspected arrangements of gene expression in developmental passageways
