W(h)ither Fossils? Studying Morphological Character Evolution in the Age of Molecular Sequences [PDF]

, 2008
A major challenge in the post-genomics era will be to integrate molecular sequence data from extant organisms with morphological data from fossil and extant taxa into a single, coherent picture of phylogenetic relationships; only then will these ...

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.

Selective pressures on genomes in molecular evolution [PDF]

, 2003
We describe the evolution of macromolecules as an information transmission process and apply tools from Shannon information theory to it. This allows us to isolate three independent, competing selective pressures that we term compression, transmission ...

A Hierarchical Approach to Protein Molecular Evolution [PDF]

, 1999
Biological diversity has evolved despite the essentially infinite complexity of protein sequence space. We present a hierarchical approach to the efficient searching of this space and quantify the evolutionary potential of our approach with Monte Carlo ...

Rate variation during molecular evolution: creationism and the cytochrome c molecular clock [PDF]

, 2017
Molecular clocks based upon amino acid sequences in proteins have played a major role in the clarification of evolutionary phylogenies. Creationist criticisms of these methods sometimes rely upon data that might initially seem to be paradoxical.

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 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 ...

The Jackprot Simulation Couples Mutation Rate with Natural Selection to Illustrate How Protein Evolution Is Not Random [PDF]

, 2011
Protein evolution is not a random process. Views which attribute randomness to molecular change, deleterious nature to single-gene mutations, insufficient geological time, or population size for molecular improvements to occur, or invoke “design ...
