Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression analysis of the BMP family associated with beak-like teeth in Oplegnathus

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which belong to the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) family, are critical for the control of developmental processes such as dorsal-ventral axis formation, somite and tooth formation, skeletal development, and ...

Genome-Wide Analysis of DoSPX Genes and the Function of DoSPX4 in Low Phosphorus Response in Dendrobium officinale

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo is a famous Chinese herb. D. officinale grows on rocks where the available phosphorus is low. The SPX family plays a critical role in maintaining Pi homeostasis in plants.

The Theory of Gene Family Histories [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Most genes are part of larger families of evolutionary related genes. The history of gene families typically involves duplications and losses of genes as well as horizontal transfers into other organisms. The reconstruction of detailed gene family histories, i.e., the precise dating of evolutionary events relative to phylogenetic tree of the underlying

Familial Hypercholesterolemia: The Lipids or the Genes? [PDF]

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2011
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common cause of premature cardiovascular disease and is often undiagnosed in young people. Although the disease is diagnosed clinically by high LDL cholesterol levels and family history, to date there are no single internationally accepted criteria for the diagnosis of FH.

Update of the human secretoglobin (SCGB) gene superfamily and an example of 'evolutionary bloom' of androgen-binding protein genes within the mouse Scgb gene superfamily

Human Genomics, 2011
The secretoglobins (SCGBs) comprise a family of small, secreted proteins found in animals exclusively of mammalian lineage. There are 11 human SCGB genes and five pseudogenes.

Genome-Wide Identification and Functional Characterization of the Chloride Channel TaCLC Gene Family in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
In plants, chloride channels (CLC) are involved in a series of specific functions, such as regulation of nutrient transport and stress tolerance. Members of the wheat Triticum aestivum L.

Characterizing gene family evolution [PDF]

Biological Procedures Online, 2008
Gene families are widely used in comparative genomics, molecular evolution, and in systematics. However, they are constructed in different manners, their data analyzed and interpreted differently, with different underlying assumptions, leading to sometimes divergent conclusions.

Evolutionary divergence and functions of the human acyl-CoA thioesterase gene (ACOT) family

Human Genomics, 2010
The acyl-CoA thioesterase gene (ACOT) family encodes enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of acyl-CoA thioester compounds, also known as activated fatty acids, to their corresponding non-esterified (free) fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH).

In Silico Identification and Expression Analysis of Nuclear Factor Y (Nf-Y) Transcription Factors in Cucumber

Agronomy, 2020
The nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription factors (TFs) play vital regulatory roles in diverse developmental processes and responses to abiotic stresses in plants. However, the NF-Y genes remain largely unknown in cucumber.
