Meeting Abstract 101-4 Wednesday, Jan. 6 14:15 Can Synapses Evolve Independently? MOROZ, LL*; KOHN, AB; Univ of Florida moroz@whitney.ufl.edu http://www.whitney.ufl.edu/research/faculty/leonid-l-moroz/ Hypotheses of origins of neurons and synapses are controversial, mostly due to limited comparative data. Here, we investigated the genome-wide distribution of the bilaterian ‘synaptic’ and ‘neuronal’ protein-coding genes in basal metazoans (Ctenophora, Porifera, Placozoa, Cnidaria). (1) […]
