Evolution of the Correlation between Expression Divergence and Protein Divergence in Mammals [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2013 Divergence of protein sequences and gene expression patterns are two fundamental mechanisms that generate organismal diversity. Here, we have used genome and transcriptome data from eight mammals and one bird to study the positive correlation of these two processes throughout mammalian evolution.

Distinct expression and methylation patterns for genes with different fates following a single whole-genome duplication in flowering plants [PDF]
, 2020 For most sequenced flowering plants, multiple whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are found. Duplicated genes following WGD often have different fates that can quickly disappear again, be retained for long(er) periods, or subsequently undergo small-scale ...

Divergence of gene body DNA methylation and evolution of plant duplicate genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 It has been shown that gene body DNA methylation is associated with gene expression. However, whether and how deviation of gene body DNA methylation between duplicate genes can influence their divergence remains largely unexplored.

Sequence, structural and expression divergence of duplicate genes in the bovine genome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Gene duplication is a widespread phenomenon in genome evolution, and it has been proposed to serve as an engine of evolutionary innovation. In the present study, we performed the first comprehensive analysis of duplicate genes in the bovine genome.

Gene expression divergence is coupled to evolution of DNA structure in coding regions. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2011 Sequence changes in coding region and regulatory region of the gene itself (cis) determine most of gene expression divergence between closely related species.

Divergent functional traits in three sympatric Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus morphs are not coupled with the age of the lineage divergence [PDF]
, 2016 Three genetically discrete morphs of Arctic charr in Loch Rannoch, Scotland originated from a recent divergence within the lake (in situ) (piscivore and benthivore morphs) and from secondary contact of two older lineages (ex situ; a planktivore–piscivore/

Coordinated functional divergence of genes after genome duplication in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2017 Gene and genome duplications have been rampant during the evolution of flowering plants. Unlike small-scale gene duplications, whole-genome duplications (WGDs) copy entire pathways or networks, and as such create the unique situation in which such ...
