The analysis of single-copy core genes, common to most members of a clade, is important for key tasks in biology including phylogenetic reconstruction and assessing genome quality. Core genes are traditionally identified by the analysis of ...
Amino acid patterns in independent lineages of vocal learning and other birds give insights into convergent evolution [0.03%]
独立鸣叫学习鸟类和其他鸟类中的氨基酸模式揭示了趋同进化的见解
Chul Lee,Seoae Cho,Kyu-Won Kim et al.
Chul Lee et al.
Vocal learning, the ability to imitate sounds and a component of spoken language, is a complex convergent trait observed in only a few independent lineages of mammals and birds. Clear gene expression convergences have been found in vocal le...
Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of sex ratio distortion mediated by cytoplasmic symbionts [0.03%]
阐释细胞质内共生体介导的性别比例失衡的分子机制

Lu-Lu Chen,Chu-Ci Tong,Yu-Xian Zhao et al.
Lu-Lu Chen et al.
Human Respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections. It is essential to monitor its genomic characteristics. In this study, we analyzed the variation and evolutionary features of HRSV A an...
Genomics Sheds New Light on the Ancestral Bilaterian Opsin Repertoire and Suggests Rhabdomeric Phototransduction in Xenacoelomorpha [0.03%]
基因组学揭示了祖先两侧对视蛋白的新信息，并表明Xenacoelomorpha具有柄眼动物光信号转导路径

Animals use opsins, light-sensing, transmembrane proteins, to detect light, which is then converted into an electrical stimulus in the photoreceptors through a process known as phototransduction. The steady generation of genomic data has fa...
Alternative mutational architectures producing identical M-matrices can lead to different patterns of evolutionary divergence [0.03%]
产生相同的M-矩阵的替代突变结构会导致不同的分化模式

Daohan Jiang
Explaining macroevolutionary divergence in light of population genetics requires understanding the extent to which the patterns of mutational input contribute to long-term trends. In the context of quantitative traits, mutational input is t...
Methylomes reveal recent evolutionary changes in populations of two plant species [0.03%]
甲基化组揭示了两种植物种群的近期进化变化
Kevin Korfmann,Andreas Zauchner,Bing Huo et al.
Kevin Korfmann et al.
Plant DNA methylation changes occur hundreds to thousands of times faster than DNA mutations and can be transmitted transgenerationally, making them useful for studying population-scale patterns in clonal or selfing species. However, a stat...
Multiple Retrotransposon-mediated NF-YA Gene Duplication Events Recurred in Diverse Groups of Mammals at Different Ancestry Levels [0.03%]
多种哺乳动物不同祖先水平上反复发生的多个反式转座子介导的NF-YA基因重复事件
