The Caenorhabditis chemoreceptor gene families [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2008 Chemoreceptor proteins mediate the first step in the transduction of environmental chemical stimuli, defining the breadth of detection and conferring stimulus specificity. Animal genomes contain families of genes encoding chemoreceptors that mediate taste, olfaction, and pheromone responses.

Gene body methylation patterns in Daphnia are associated with gene family size [PDF]
, 2016 The relation between gene body methylation and gene function remains elusive. Yet, our understanding of this relationship can contribute significant knowledge on how and why organisms target specific gene bodies for methylation.

Oncogene, 1999 p73 and p63 are two recently discovered p53 homologs. Like p53, these proteins can recognize canonical p53 DNA-binding sites and, when overproduced, can activate p53-responsive target genes and induce apoptosis. Unlike p53, these genes undergo complex alternative splicing which, at least in the case of p63, yields proteins with widely divergent ...

The Role of Retrotransposons in Gene Family Expansions: Insights from the Mouse \u3ci\u3eAbp\u3c/i\u3e Gene Family [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Retrotransposons have been suggested to provide a substrate for non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) and thereby promote gene family expansion. Their precise role, however, is controversial.

Lentiviral vectors transduce lung stem cells without disrupting plasticity
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2021 Life-long expression of a gene therapy agent likely requires targeting stem cells. Here we ask the question: does viral vector transduction or ectopic expression of a therapeutic transgene preclude airway stem cell function?

Functional relevance of the newly evolved sperm dynein intermediate chain multigene family in Drosophila melanogaster males. [PDF]
, 2012 In many animal species, traits associated with male fitness evolve rapidly. Intersexual conflict and male-male competition have been suggested to drive this rapid evolution.

Contraction of the ROS Scavenging Enzyme Glutathione S-Transferase Gene Family in Cetaceans
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Cetaceans are a group of marine mammals whose ancestors were adaptated for life on land. Life in an aquatic environment poses many challenges for air-breathing mammals. Diving marine mammals have adapted to rapid reoxygenation and reactive oxygen species
