Metazoan Phylogeny by rRNA Sequencing

主要动物群体之间的进化关系 已经争论了几个世纪，但是分子生物学的出现 测序技术现在提供了一个新的和数据丰富的观点， 问题. 鲁道夫·拉夫博士是一位发育生物学家， 组建了一个分子生物学家小组， 核糖体基因组特定片段的RNA序列 无脊椎动物门的一种。 他们会集中精力 对假体腔虫和无体腔虫门的研究， 节肢动物和刺胞动物（珊瑚，海葵）。 新 技术将被用于采样遗传物质， 微生物，序列数据将使用 各种方法。 这项研究将对无脊椎动物产生广泛的影响。 动物学家和进化生物学家。 数据资源是 将被无数其他人重新分析和分析， 研究人员

The evolutionary relationships among the major animal groups has been debated for centuries, but the advent of molecular sequencing techniques now affords a new and data-rich view of the problem. Dr. Rudolph Raff, a developmental biologist, has assembled a team of molecular biologists who will establish the RNA sequences for particular segments of the ribosomal genome in a variety of invertebrate phyla. They will concentrate their efforts on the pseudocoelomate and acoelomate worm phyla, the arthropods, and the cnidarians (corals, anemones). New techniques will be used for sampling genetic material from microbial organisms, and the sequence data will be analyzed using a variety of approaches. The proposed research will have wide impact on invertebrate zoologists and evolutionary biologists. The data resource to be amassed will be strutinized and re-analyzed by countless other researchers.
