Rapid compensatory evolution promotes the survival of conjugative plasmids. [PDF]

Mob Genet Elements, 2016
Conjugative plasmids play a vital role in bacterial adaptation through horizontal gene transfer. Explaining how plasmids persist in host populations however is difficult, given the high costs often associated with plasmid carriage. Compensatory evolution

Compensatory evolution for a gene deletion is not limited to its immediate functional network [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Genetic disruption of an important phenotype should favor compensatory mutations that restore the phenotype. If the genetic basis of the phenotype is modular, with a network of interacting genes whose functions are specific to that phenotype ...

Widespread compensatory evolution conserves DNA-encoded nucleosome organization in yeast.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2010
Evolution maintains organismal fitness by preserving genomic information. This is widely assumed to involve conservation of specific genomic loci among species.

Temporal genomics in Hawaiian crickets reveals compensatory intragenomic coadaptation during adaptive evolution [PDF]

Nature Communications
Theory predicts that compensatory genetic changes reduce negative indirect effects of selected variants during adaptive evolution, but evidence is scarce.

A structural perspective of compensatory evolution. [PDF]

Curr Opin Struct Biol, 2014
The study of molecular evolution is important because it reveals how protein functions emerge and evolve. Recently, several types of studies indicated that substitutions in molecular evolution occur in a compensatory manner, whereby the occurrence of a ...

Adaptation and compensation in a bacterial gene regulatory network evolving under antibiotic selection

eLife, 2021
Gene regulatory networks allow organisms to generate coordinated responses to environmental challenges. In bacteria, regulatory networks are re-wired and re-purposed during evolution, though the relationship between selection pressures and evolutionary ...

Evidence for a synergistic effect of post‐translational modifications and genomic composition of eEF‐1α on the adaptation of Phytophthora infestans

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Genetic variation plays a fundamental role in pathogen's adaptation to environmental stresses. Pathogens with low genetic variation tend to survive and proliferate more poorly due to their lack of genotypic/phenotypic polymorphisms in responding to ...

Mitonuclear Mismatch is Associated With Increased Male Frequency, Outcrossing, and Male Sperm Size in Experimentally-Evolved C. elegans

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
We provide a partial test of the mitonuclear sex hypothesis with the first controlled study of how male frequencies and rates of outcrossing evolve in response to mitonuclear mismatch by allowing replicate lineages of C.
