This cluster of web articles on opsin evolution is updated almost daily. Because those changes are hard to track systematically, this simple article directory and blog of significant changes may be helpful.
- Introduction to the opsin classifier and curated sequence collection
- A massive anchored alignment of 119 opsins
- Tutorial on genes from traces, intron patterns, resolving indels
- Key critters: species with genome projects and their photoreceptors
- Color vision in the platypus and ancestral mammal
- Tracking significant updates
- Informative coding indels (under development)
- Intron gain and lost (under development)
- Ancestral opsins: lowering the noise level (in progress)
- The photoreceptor fossil record (planned)
- Subscholarly opsin literature and defective evolutionary inference (planned)
- Opsin evolution: the bottom line (in progress)
- Comparative genomics of all those other eye developmental and structural genes (volunteers needed)
Reverse Chronological Update Blog 09 Dec 07: added a treatment of two tunicate pinopsin-like opsins and their ancient introns 08 Dec 07: added a section on intron cross-comparison to the annotation tutorial 08 Dec 07: added treatment of two platyhelminthes to Lophotrochozoa area 07 Dec 07: added 2 trematode and 1 planaria opsins, exon pattern matches melanopsin 06 Dec 07: added cnidarian larval rhabdomeric single-cell eye and adult rhopalium imagery 05 Dec 07: added Capitella literature survey and a new melanopsin from genome assembly 04 Dec 07: added Helobedella literature survey and new opsins from genome assembly 03 Dec 07: added Lottia, reviewed genome assembly, found an opsin but could not locate anything on ocelli 02 Dec 07: added Aplysia eye anatomy and apparent melanopsin ortholog to key critters 29 Nov 07: added platynereis story to critters, described second new ciliary opsin 29 Nov 07: added graphics comparing eye systems in deuts and lophs, illustrated everse and inverse eyes 29 Nov 07: added sea urchin opsins to critter discussion, graphic of expression in larva and adult 29 Nov 07: added 6 sea urchin reference opsins by repairing gene models, adding introns, and reclassifying. 28 Nov 07: added Xenoturbella and Convoluta section to basal key critters, no opsins available 28 Nov 07: upgraded key critters with treatment of Saccoglossus 28 Nov 07: found first hemichordate opsin, put methods into detailed tutorial 28 Nov 07: received copywrite permissions for use of handdrawn invertebrate eyes illustrations 28 Nov 07: added jump navigation to key critters as article is getting fairly long 27 Nov 07: added scallop Go opsins from an important historic study 27 Nov 07: reorganized curated sequences into deuterostome, ecdysozoa, lophotrochozoa blocks sorted by receptor type.
