Áki J. Láruson generated the mitochondrial genome of Tripneustes gratilla and compared it to all other existing sea urchin genomes. He found that the Toxopneustidae are a sister family to the Strongylocentrotidae splitting from each other around a time of major climate change (link) and that patterns of DNA substitutions are generally consistent with neutrality for the sea urchin mitochodria. Stay tuned for more Tripneustes gratilla genomics publications!
