amphioxus

Apart from Sudan, Arabic cinema at the Berlinanle was represented by the Lebanese Ghassan Salhab with his film 'An Open Rose' and by Palestinian filmmakers Akram Zaatari, with his short film 'The Script', and Kamal Al Jaafari, with his experimental short 'It's a Long Way from Amphioxus'.

Among the titles in the projection program of Forum Expanded is "It's a Long Way from Amphioxus," by Berlin-based Palestinian filmmaker Kamal Aljafari.

The study, co-led by Australian researchers, analysed the DNA of "Amphioxus" and uncovered the "tricks" used to control gene expression, which may have originated much earlier than thought, Xinhua news agency quoted a statement by Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia.

Identification, expression and regulation of amphioxus G6Pase gene with an emphasis on origin of liver.

Amphioxus and ascidian Dmbx homeobox genes give clues to the vertebrate origins of midbrain development.

They suggested that the amphioxus GDF8/11 could be an ancestral GDF8/GDF11 homologue of vertebrates.

Expression and regulation by thyroid hormone (TH) of zebrafish IGF-I gene and amphioxus IGF-l gene with implication of the origin of TH/IGF signaling pathway.

An international team of researchers analyzed the amphioxus, also known as lancelet - a living fossil, of sorts, that was long considered to be a faceless and brainless fish.

Amphioxus or lancelet belongs to the subphylum Cephalochordata, an extant representative of the most basal chordates.

Given the structural similarities, it is believed that all these MHC I or MHC I-like molecules have evolutionary lineage with a common ancestor.[sup][13] The MHC locus has been found in all jawed vertebrates, however, the proto-MHC could trace back to the cephalochordate (amphioxus) and jawless vertebrate lineages.[sup][110],[111],[112] MHC II genes were firstly derived from proto-MHC by exon shuffling, combining an Ig-like C domain with a peptide binding region.[sup][113] Subsequently, another peptide binding region exon was added to MHC II [sz] chain to form the MHC I heavy chain, which happened at approximately 500 million years ago.
