The other day I updated the web server I am maintaining, aLeaves, to include latest information for protein-coding genes based on public genome databases.
The database #6 at aLeaves now includes the Ensembl gene set and the consortium gene set for the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) genome. It also contain the set of predicted proteins for the elephant shark genome, although the genome assembly for this species is highly incomplete.

Galeaspids, a 435–370-million-year-old ostracoderm published in Nature
There was an article about fossil jawless fish published recently in Nature.
Fossil jawless fish from China foreshadows early jawed vertebrate anatomy.
Gai Z, Donoghue PC, Zhu M, Janvier P, Stampanoni M.
Nature. 2011 Aug 17;476(7360):324-7. doi: 10.1038/nature10276.
I remember I listened to a talk by the first author at a meeting held in Kobe, Japan.

Special Issue 'Hox and ParaHox genes' in GPB
The journal Genomics Bioinformatics and Proteomics has published a special issue, titled 'Hox and ParaHox genes in Evolution, Development and Genomics'.
To this special issue, I contributed a mini review paper about Hox gene cluster evolution and expression patterns of cyclostomes (extant jawless fishes) and cartilaginous fishes (available upon request).
The main and associate Editors-in-Chief of this relatively new journal are all affiliated with the world's biggest sequencing center, BGI. I received free reprints of my review and free copies of the journal issue kindly gifted by the publisher. Thanks!

Meeting on Advances in Cyclostome Research
I am writing about a scientific meeting focusing on cyclostome development and evolution which was held in January 2008 at RIKEN CDB in Kobe, Japan.
I wonder if this was the first scientific meeting dedicated to cyclostomes, namely extant jawless vertebrates. We really expect the second meeting with the same scope.
I contributed to this meeting with one oral and one poster presentations. Because this meeting was held about 10 months after I moved from Kobe to Germany, I remember well that I felt very awkward to guide non-Japanese participants out to the town which I knew well but left some time ago.
Later, participants' contributions were compiled into a proceeding publication, in the form of a special issue of the journal, Zoological Science, the journal affiliated with the Zoological Society of Japan.
In fact, the original picture which became the cover of this special journal issue was taken by one of my former colleague from Kobe, based on my idea. To take the picture, we had lamprey and hagfish in the same aquarium tank in the lab (for the first time in vertebrate evolution?).
Please guess which the tank had inside, freshwater or salt water.
