		<description><![CDATA[Tiktaalik is a 375 million year old fossil discovered in Arctic Canada by a team of researchers led by Neil Shubin, Edward Daeschler, and Farish Jenkins in the year 2006. Tiktaalik is technically a fish with scales and gills, however has the flattened head of a crocodile and unusual fins.
Due to presence of a skull, neck, ribs, and parts of a fin that resemble the earliest limbed animals, in addition to fins and scales like a fish, Tiktaalik becomes a representative of the transition between non-tetrapod vertebrates (&#8221;fish&#8221;) and early ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we have seen in earlier post that in Tribolium , the second thoracic segment (T2 segment) bears sclerotized elytra  and T3 bears more classical membranous wings for flight.The difference between dipterans and coleopetrans in developing membranous wings for flight( Dipterans have flight wings on T2 and Coleopetrans on T3) could be due to different expression pattern of Ubx hox protein in these two insects orders. However, detection of Ultrathorax (Utx), the protein product of the Tribolium Ubx orthologue, showed that Utx, like its Drosophila counterpart, is expressed in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you know that Beetles account for around 25% of all known life-forms on this planet. They belong to the order Coleoptera, which happens to be the largest and most diverse order, not only in the insect class, but in the entire animal kingdom. It is believed that there are eight times as many beetle species as there are fish, amphibian, reptile, bird and mammal species all put together. Eight times!!! Those are really huge numbers of beetles which goes on to tell us that these creatures can survive in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bithorax complex in Drosophila consists of three homeodomain encoding proteins : Ultrabithorax (Ubx), abdominal-A (abd-A) and Abdominal-B (Abd-B). The function of these bithorax genes is to pattern entire abdomen ( A1-A9 segments ) and a part of third thoracic segment ,which happens to be their normal expression domain in embryos. These Hox proteins are expressed within specific parasegments (PS) , anatomical units that include the posterior portion of one segment and the anterior portion of the adjacent segment.
But the problem is that we have only three proteins and they need ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How transcription factors achieve their in vivo specificities is a fundamental question in biology. Regulation of Distalless (dll) gene in insects served as an excellent model to study mechanisms of Hox genes and this is the topic of our classic paper today. Richard mann&#8217;s lab published some stunning stuff on role played by segmentation genes in regulation of distalless gene in 2004 Nature issue. This article is a real classic providing some finer details in repression of distalless in abdomen of insects. Ever since the first paper by Vachon et ...]]></description>
