Outsourcing the nucleus: nuclear pore complex genes are no longer encoded in nucleomorph genomes [0.03%]
核仁外包：不再在核膜基因组中发现核孔复合物基因

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) facilitates transport between nucleus and cytoplasm. The protein constituents of the NPC, termed nucleoporins (Nups), are conserved across a wide diversity of eukaryotes. In apparent exception to this, no nucl...
A nuclear ribosomal DNA phylogeny of acer inferred with maximum likelihood, splits graphs, and motif analysis of 606 sequences [0.03%]

The multi-copy internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA is widely used to infer phylogenetic relationships among closely related taxa. Here we use maximum likelihood (ML) and splits graph analyses to extract phyloge...
Total evidence, average consensus and matrix representation with parsimony: what a difference distances make [0.03%]
距离差异使得总体证据、平均共识和简约矩阵的表示方法有所不同

Matrix representation with parsimony (MRP) can be used to combine trees in the supertree or the consensus settings. However, despite its popularity, it is still unclear whether MRP is really a consensus method or whether it behaves more lik...
An insulin-like modular basis for the evolution of glucose transporters (GLUT) with implications for diabetes [0.03%]
一种胰岛素样的模块为基础的葡萄糖转运蛋白(GLUT)进化及对糖尿病的影响研究

Glucose transporters (GLUT) are twelve-transmembrane spanning proteins that contain two pores capable of transporting glucose and dehydroascorbate in and out of cells. The mechanism by which transport is effected is unknown. An evolutionari...

Influenza is an RNA virus that causes mild to severe respiratory symptoms in humans and other hosts. Every year approximately half a million people around the world die from seasonal Influenza. But this number is substantially larger in the...

At the morphological level, the woolly mammoth has most often been considered as the sister-species of Asian elephants, but at the DNA level, different studies have found support for proximity with African elephants. Recent reports have inc...

Coalescent theory is a powerful tool for population geneticists as well as molecular biologists interested in understanding the patterns and levels of DNA variation. Using coalescent Monte Carlo simulations it is possible to obtain the empi...

Biochemical networks are the backbones of physiological systems of organisms. Therefore, a biochemical network should be sufficiently robust (not sensitive) to tolerate genetic mutations and environmental changes in the evolutionary process...
MapToGenome: a comparative genomic tool that aligns transcript maps to sequenced genomes [0.03%]

Efforts to generate whole genome assemblies and dense genetic maps have provided a wealth of gene positional information for several vertebrate species. Comparing the relative location of orthologous genes among these genomes provides persp...

Many different selective effects on DNA and proteins influence the frequency of codons and amino acids in coding sequences. Selection is often stronger on highly expressed genes. Hence, by comparing high- and low-expression genes it is poss...
