To better understand the phylogeny of extant echinoderms and the placement of Xyloplax, we employed RNA-Seq to retrieve large numbers of orthologous loci from each transcriptome of 40 echinoderm speci
Different populations of the same species survive different environments through local adaptation. Temperature is one of the most important driving forces that could result in local adaptation. Here,
We compare the transcriptome of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), adult stem cells with apparent greater differentiation potential such as multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs), mesenchymal stem cells
