Abstract

Jeramiah Smith, Weiming Li and colleagues report the whole-genome sequence of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, representing a vertebrate lineage diverged from humans ~500 million years ago. Their analyses define key evolutionary events in vertebrate lineages and provide evidence for two whole-genome duplication events occurring before the divergence of the ancestral lamprey and jawed vertebrate (gnathostome) lineages. Lampreys are representatives of an ancient vertebrate lineage that diverged from our own ∼500 million years ago. By virtue of this deeply shared ancestry, the sea lamprey (P. marinus) genome is uniquely poised to provide insight into the ancestry of vertebrate genomes and the underlying…
