Globins in the marine annelid Platynereis dumerilii shed new light on hemoglobin evolution in bilaterians [0.03%]
模式环节动物基因组模式物种Platynereis dumerilii的球蛋白有助于揭示两侧对动物的血红蛋白演化的新线索

Solène Song et al.
Background: How vascular systems and their respiratory pigments evolved is still debated. While many animals present a vascular system, hemoglobin exists as a blood pigment only in a few groups (vertebrates, annelids, a f...

Background: Eukaryotic protein-coding genes consist of exons and introns. Exon-intron borders are conserved between species and thus their changes might be observed only on quite long evolutionary distances. One of the ra...
The evolution of the huntingtin-associated protein 40 (HAP40) in conjunction with huntingtin [0.03%]
与亨廷顿蛋白相伴的亨廷顿相关蛋白40(HAP40)的进化
Manuel Seefelder,Vikram Alva,Bin Huang et al.
Manuel Seefelder et al.
Background: The huntingtin-associated protein 40 (HAP40) abundantly interacts with huntingtin (HTT), the protein that is altered in Huntington's disease (HD). Therefore, we analysed the evolution of HAP40 and its interact...
You don't have the guts: a diverse set of fungi survive passage through Macrotermes bellicosus termite guts [0.03%]
你不敢：多种真菌可以在_MACROTERMES BELLIKOSUS_白蚁肠道中存活
Nick Bos,Leandro Guimaraes,Romen Palenzuela et al.
Nick Bos et al.
Background: Monoculture farming poses significant disease challenges, but fungus-farming termites are able to successfully keep their monoculture crop free from contamination by other fungi. It has been hypothesised that ...
Mitochondrial DNAs provide insight into trypanosome phylogeny and molecular evolution [0.03%]
线粒体DNA提供了锥虫系统发育和分子进化的线索

Background: Trypanosomes are single-celled eukaryotic parasites characterised by the unique biology of their mitochondrial DNA. African livestock trypanosomes impose a major burden on agriculture across sub-Saharan Africa...
Stress-related changes in leukocyte profiles and telomere shortening in the shortest-lived tetrapod, Furcifer labordi [0.03%]
压力引起的生命期最短四足动物Labord氏变色龙的白细胞谱系和端粒缩短变化
Falk Eckhardt,Angela Pauliny,Nicky Rollings et al.
Falk Eckhardt et al.
Background: Life history theory predicts that during the lifespan of an organism, resources are allocated to either growth, somatic maintenance or reproduction. Resource allocation trade-offs determine the evolution and e...

Akashdeep Dhillon et al.
Background: Sperm storage plays a key role in the reproductive success of many sexually-reproducing organisms, and the capacity of long-term sperm storage varies across species. While there are theoretical explanations fo...
Visual adaptation of opsin genes to the aquatic environment in sea snakes [0.03%]
海蛇 opsins 基因的视觉适应海洋环境的机制研究
Takashi Seiko,Takushi Kishida,Mina Toyama et al.
Takashi Seiko et al.
Background: Evolutionary transitions from terrestrial to aquatic life history cause drastic changes in sensory systems. Indeed, the drastic changes in vision have been reported in many aquatic amniotes, convergently. Rece...
Comprehensive phylogenomic analyses re-write the evolution of parasitism within cynipoid wasps [0.03%]
全面的系统发育组学分析重塑了食虫性黄蜂科寄生进化的认知
Bonnie B Blaimer,Dietrich Gotzek,Seán G Brady et al.
Bonnie B Blaimer et al.
Background: Parasitoidism, a specialized life strategy in which a parasite eventually kills its host, is frequently found within the insect order Hymenoptera (wasps, ants and bees). A parasitoid lifestyle is one of two do...
Intrinsic laws of k-mer spectra of genome sequences and evolution mechanism of genomes [0.03%]
基因组序列表观高维性及基因组进化机制
Zhenhua Yang,Hong Li,Yun Jia et al.
Zhenhua Yang et al.
Background: K-mer spectra of DNA sequences contain important information about sequence composition and sequence evolution. We want to reveal the evolution rules of genome sequences by studying the k-mer spectra of genome...
