Contrasting Rates of Molecular Evolution and Patterns of Selection among Gymnosperms and Flowering Plants [PDF]
, 2017 The majority of variation in rates of molecular evolution among seed plants remains both unexplored and unexplained. Although some attention has been given to flowering plants, reports of molecular evolutionary rates for their sister plant clade ...

Linking molecular evolution to molecular grafting [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2021 Molecular grafting is a strategy for the engineering of molecular scaffolds into new functional agents, such as next-generation therapeutics. Despite its wide use, studies so far have focused almost exclusively on demonstrating its utility rather than understanding the factors that lead to either poor or successful grafting outcomes.

Cancer Molecular Evolution [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2015 By far, the majority of studies in molecular evolution have focused on genetic change across one or more generations. Much less is known about the genetic changes that occur during the life time of an individual, or somatic evolution, of which cancer is probably the best-known example.

Molecular Mechanisms of Poxvirus Evolution [PDF]
mBio, 2023 Poxviruses are often thought to evolve relatively slowly because they are double-stranded DNA pathogens with proofreading polymerases. However, poxviruses have highly adaptable genomes and can undergo relatively rapid genotypic and phenotypic change, as illustrated by the recent increase in human-to-human transmission of monkeypox virus.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Mitochondrial Evolution [PDF]
Life, 2021 The myth of a “typical” mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is a rock-hard belief in the field of genetics, at least for the animal kingdom [...]

Microorganisms, 2021 It has been demonstrated that the englacial ecosystem in volcanic environments is inhabited by active bacteria. To know whether this result could be extrapolated to other Antarctic glaciers and to study the populations of microeukaryotes in addition to ...

Elusive data underlying debate at the prokaryote-eukaryote divide
Biology Direct, 2018 Background The origin of eukaryotic cells was an important transition in evolution. The factors underlying the origin and evolutionary success of the eukaryote lineage are still discussed.

Plastid origin: who, when and why?
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The origin of plastids is best explained by endosymbiotic theory, which dates back to the early 1900s. Three lines of evidence based on protein import machineries and molecular phylogenies of eukaryote (host) and cyanobacterial (endosymbiont) genes point

THE MOLECULAR EVOLUTION OF ACTIN [PDF]
Genetics, 1986 ABSTRACT We have investigated the molecular evolution of plant and nonplant actin genes comparing nucleotide and amino acid sequences of 20 actin genes. Nucleotide changes resulting in amino acid substitutions (replacement substitutions) ranged from 3-7% for all pairwise comparisons of animal actin genes with the following exceptions ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Syrphus ribesii (Diptera: Syrphoidea: Syrphidae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The complete mitochondrial genome of Syrphus ribesii was determined in this study. The double-stranded circular DNA molecule was 16,530 bp in length, containing 37 typical genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and an A + T ...
