As a result of two-round whole genome duplications, four or more paralogous Hox clusters exist in vertebrate genomes. The paralogous genes in the Hox clusters show similar expression patterns, implying shared regulatory mechanisms for expre...

Noisy data, especially in combination with misalignment and model misspecification can have an adverse effect on phylogeny reconstruction; however, effective methods to identify such data are few. One particularly important class of noisy d...

Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular eukaryotic parasites with small genomes. They infect animals from a wide variety of phyla, including humans. Two manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) genes, designated NbMnSOD1 and NbMnS...
Intronic AT skew is a defendable proxy for germline transcription but does not predict crossing-over or protein evolution rates in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]
在果蝇中，内含子AT偏斜可作为配体转录的可靠标记，但不能预测重组或蛋白质进化速率

Recent evidence suggests that germline transcription may affect both protein evolutionary rates, possibly mediated by repair processes, and recombination rates, possibly mediated by chromatin and epigenetic modification. Here, we test these...

In previous work (Betancourt, Genetics 181:1535, 2009), I propagated three large laboratory populations of an RNA phage (MS2) as they adapted to a controlled laboratory environment. These populations were large enough so that evolution migh...

The unusual mode of mitochondrial DNA inheritance, with two separate: maternal (F) and paternal (M) lineages, gives unique opportunities to study the evolution of the mitochondrial genome. This system was first discovered in the marine muss...

Revisiting the thermodynamic theory of optimal ATP stoichiometries by analysis of various ATP-producing metabolic pathways [0.03%]
通过分析各种产ATP的代谢途径重新审视ATP的最佳化学计量比的热力学理论

The stoichiometry of ATP-producing metabolic pathways had been analysed theoretically by several authors by using evolutionary arguments and optimality principles. Waddell et al. (Biochem Educ 27:12-13, 1999) analysed (lactate-producing) gl...
Genetic and evolutionary correlates of fine-scale recombination rate variation in Drosophila persimilis [0.03%]
模式生物果蝇persimilis种细尺度重组率变异的遗传及进化相关性研究

Recombination is fundamental to meiosis in many species and generates variation on which natural selection can act, yet fine-scale linkage maps are cumbersome to construct. We generated a fine-scale map of recombination rates across two maj...
Evolution of dopamine-related systems: biosynthesis, degradation and receptors [0.03%]

The evolution of enzyme genes at the pathway level has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Most investigations have focused on microorganisms, plants and invertebrates but rarely on vertebrates. The dopamine pathway, which parti...
Loss of Octarepeats in two processed prion pseudogenes in the red squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris [0.03%]

The N-terminal region of the mammalian prion protein (PrP) contains an 'octapeptide' repeat which is involved in copper binding. This eight- or nine-residue peptide is repeated four to seven times, depending on the species, and polymorphism...
