## Abstract Lampreys possess unique types of cartilage in which elastinβlike proteins are the dominant matrix component, whereas gnathostome cartilage is mainly composed of fibrillar collagen. Despite the differences in protein composition, the __Sox__β__col2a1__ genetic cascade was suggested to be
The small subunit ribosomal DNA (ssu rDNA) of 13 isopods was sequenced. The entire length of the ribosomal gene is unusually long, resulting from the presence of five expansion elements accounting for more than 40% of the gene. We found that in terrestrial isopods the length of the ssu rDNA ranges f
