Mosaic and concerted evolution in the visual system of birds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Two main models have been proposed to explain how the relative size of neural structures varies through evolution. In the mosaic evolution model, individual brain structures vary in size independently of each other, whereas in the concerted evolution ...

Extensive nrDNA ITS polymorphism in Lycium: Non-concerted evolution and the identification of pseudogenes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) is one of the most extensively sequenced molecular markers in plant systematics due to its generally concerted evolution.

Empirical evidence for concerted evolution in the 18S rDNA region of the planktonic diatom genus Chaetoceros [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Concerted evolution is a process of homogenisation of repetitive sequences within a genome through unequal crossing over and gene conversion. This homogenisation is never fully achieved because mutations always create new variants. Classically, concerted

Concerted Evolution of Duplicate Control Regions in the Mitochondria of Species of the Flatfish Family Bothidae (Teleostei: Pleuronectiformes). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Mitogenomes of flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) exhibit the greatest diversity of gene rear-rangements in teleostean fishes. Duplicate control regions (CRs) have been found in the mito-genomes of two flatfishes, Samariscus latus (Samaridae) and Laeops ...

Multiple Ribosomal RNA Operons in Bacteria; Their Concerted Evolution and Potential Consequences on the Rate of Evolution of Their 16S rRNA [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Bacterial species differ greatly in the number and location of the rRNA operons which may be present in the bacterial chromosomes and plasmids. Most bacterial species contain more than one ribosomal RNA operon copy in their genomes, with some species ...

The link between independent acquisition of intracellular gamma-endosymbionts and concerted evolution in Tremblaya princeps [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Many insect species establish mutualistic symbiosis with intracellular bacteria that complement their unbalanced diets. The betaproteobacterium Candidatus Tremblaya maintains an ancient symbiosis with mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), which are ...

Dosage sensitivity of RPL9 and concerted evolution of ribosomal protein genes in plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 The ribosome in higher eukaryotes is a large macromolecular complex composed of four rRNAs and eighty different ribosomal proteins. In plants, each ribosomal protein is encoded by multiple genes.

Mechanism of Deletion Removing All Dystrophin Exons in a Canine Model for DMD Implicates Concerted Evolution of X Chromosome Pseudogenes [PDF]
Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2017 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal, X-linked, muscle-wasting disorder caused by mutations in the large, 2.4-Mb dystrophin gene. The majority of DMD-causing mutations are sporadic, multi-exon, frameshifting deletions, with the potential for ...
