A large portion of animal and plant genomes consists of noncoding DNA. This part includes tandemly repeated sequences and gained attention because it offers exciting insights into genome biology. We investigated satellite-DNA elements of th...
The Ancient Salicoid Genome Duplication Event: A Platform for Reconstruction of De Novo Gene Evolution in Populus trichocarpa [0.03%]

A growing body of evidence has underscored the role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in animal evolution. Previously, we discovered the horizontal transfer of the gene encoding the eukaryotic genotoxin cytolethal distending toxin B (cdtB) ...
Parallel Independent Losses of G-Type Lysozyme Genes in Hairless Aquatic Mammals [0.03%]
无毛 aquatic 哺乳动物中G型溶菌酶基因的平行独立丢失现象

Lysozyme enzymes provide classic examples of molecular adaptation and parallel evolution, however, nearly all insights to date come from chicken-type (c-type) lysozymes. Goose-type (g-type) lysozymes occur in diverse vertebrates, with multi...
Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Diversity Revealed by Rapid Whole-Genome Sequence Typing [0.03%]

Discrete classification of SARS-CoV-2 viral genotypes can identify emerging strains and detect geographic spread, viral diversity, and transmission events. We developed a tool (GNU-based Virus IDentification [GNUVID]) that integrates whole-...
Intraspecific Transcriptome Variation and Sex-Biased Expression in Anopheles arabiensis [0.03%]

The magnitude and functional patterns of intraspecific transcriptional variation in the anophelines, including those of sex-biased genes underlying sex-specific traits relevant for malaria transmission, remain understudied. As a result, how...
Mitogenomes of Accipitriformes and Cathartiformes Were Subjected to Ancestral and Recent Duplications Followed by Gradual Degeneration [0.03%]
鹰形目和鰕鴉形目的线粒体基因组经历了祖先复制和近期复制后逐渐退化

The rearrangement of 37 genes with one control region, firstly identified in Gallus gallus mitogenome, is believed to be ancestral for all Aves. However, mitogenomic sequences obtained in recent years revealed that many avian mitogenomes co...
Taxonomic Uncertainty and the Anomaly Zone: Phylogenomics Disentangle a Rapid Radiation to Resolve Contentious Species (Gila robusta Complex) in the Colorado River [0.03%]

Owing to a lag between a deleterious mutation's appearance and its selective removal, gold-standard methods for mutation rate estimation assume no meaningful loss of mutations between parents and offspring. Indeed, from analysis of closely ...
Rapid Genomic Evolution Drives the Diversification of Male Reproductive Genes in Dung Beetles [0.03%]
快速的基因组演化驱动粪金龟科昆虫雄性生殖基因分化
