Transposable Element-Driven Genomic Plasticity: Unveiling the Evolutionary Mechanisms of Lifestyle Transition and Ecological Adaptation in Endophytic Fungi [PDF]
Journal of FungiThe genomic basis underlying the remarkable ecological flexibility of endophytic fungi (EF), particularly their potential to transition between symbiotic, saprophytic, and pathogenic lifestyles, remains poorly understood.

Evolutionary mechanisms for loneliness [PDF]
Cognition and Emotion, 2013 Robert Weiss (1973) conceptualised loneliness as perceived social isolation, which he described as a gnawing, chronic disease without redeeming features. On the scale of everyday life, it is understandable how something as personally aversive as loneliness could be regarded as a blight on human existence.

Biomineralization: Integrating mechanism and evolutionary history [PDF]
Science Advances, 2022 Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) biomineralizing organisms have played major roles in the history of life and the global carbon cycle during the past 541 Ma. Both marine diversification and mass extinctions reflect physiological responses to environmental changes through time.

Evolutionary Mechanisms of Microbial Genomes [PDF]
International Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Sequencing of more than 1,600 microbial genomes has been complete, and rigorous studies are underway to reveal the mechanisms of evolution which gave rise to the great variety in combination of gene functions encoded on these genomes. Although comparative genomics based on orthologous genes has elucidated a great deal of the phylogenetic relationship ...

Capturing genetic variation in crop wild relatives: An evolutionary approach [PDF]
, 2022 Crop wild relatives (CWRs) offer novel genetic resources for crop improvement. To assist in the urgent need to collect and conserve CWR germplasm, we advance here the concept of an “evolutionary” approach.

Systematic errors in orthology inference and their effects on evolutionary analyses
iScience, 2021 Summary: The availability of complete sets of genes from many organisms makes it possible to identify genes unique to (or lost from) certain clades. This information is used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees; identify genes involved in the evolution of ...
