Horseshoe crabs have persisted for more than 200 million years, and fossil forms date to 450 million years ago. The American horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus), one of four extant horseshoe crab species, is found along the Atlantic coastline of North America ranging from Alabama to Maine, USA...

To explore whether greater conservation in the 3p microRNA arm correlates with a greater expression level, we mapped small RNA reads to different paralogues. By eliminating microRNA species which have different arm usage between their paralogues or between horseshoe crab species, we found that out ...
Another view of the “death spiral” by the horseshoe crab, which we now know was actually a “life spiral” until a raccoon showed up and updated that status. Where’s the evidence of the raccoon? Look in the middle of the photos for whitish marks, grouped in fours, separated by gaps...
