| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gene spectra for 314 animals species across ten phyla was investigated and organized based on the levels of taxonomic classifications; phylum, class, order, family, and genus. The number of genes in common across all investigated phyla was 1,908, most of which were covering fundamental core genes necessary to maintain life activities. A total of 1,299 lineage specific genes were also determined, where the majority were mitochondrial genes, suggesting animal specific mechanism requiring those genes. Interestingly, there were genes absent only in vertebrates. Those findings would provide key information to understand the process of evolution.
