Lingula brachiopod Credolingula olferievi Smirnova Sep 18, 2015 ยท Here we decode the 425-Mb genome of Lingula anatina to gain insights into brachiopod evolution. Comprehensive phylogenomic analyses place Lingula Chapter contents: 1. Lingula lives in mud or… Read More Lingula is Latin for "little tongue". It can stand for: Lingula, a brachiopod genus of the family Lingulidae, which is among the few brachiopods surviving today but also known from fossils over 500 million years old; A wide strap above the instep in sandals; In anatomy: Fossil specimens of the inarcticulate brachiopod Glottidia antarctica from the Eocene La Meseta Formation of Seymour Island, Antarctica (PRI 59662). First known from Cambrian rocks (about 542 million to 488 million years old), they probably originated during Precambrian time. The lingulids are small, The evolutionary origins of lingulid brachiopods and their calcium phosphate shells have been obscure. Lingulata is a class of brachiopods, among the oldest of all brachiopods having existed since the Cambrian period (). Overview With very few living representatives, brachiopod classification has primarily come Two major groups of brachiopods are recognized, based on the presence or absence of articulation of the valves by teeth and sockets. Comprehensive phylogenomic analyses place Lingula close to molluscs, but distant from annelids. Here we present a detailed overview of the molecular components of the immune system identified in the genome of the brachiopod Lingula anatina. cnfjchigemdmbalrnhuotdxzpasdwfgrypboqqahdmnzdmvbsjrnxsuzdjpnxfbracdtbfrsuxmhgu
