Adaptive gene loss in the common bean pan-genome during range expansion and domestication. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2023
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a crucial grain legume crop [1,2] whose life history offers an ideal evolutionary model to identify and study adaptive variants in wild and domestication populations [3].

Massive Gene Loss and Function Shuffling in Appendicularians Stretch the Boundaries of Chordate Wnt Family Evolution

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Gene loss is a pervasive source of genetic variation that influences species evolvability, biodiversity and the innovation of evolutionary adaptations. To better understand the evolutionary patterns and impact of gene loss, here we investigate as a case ...

Dynamics of Gene Loss following Ancient Whole-Genome Duplication in the Cryptic Paramecium Complex. [PDF]

Mol Biol Evol, 2023
Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) have shaped the gene repertoire of many eukaryotic lineages. The redundancy created by WGDs typically results in a phase of massive gene loss.

Species Tree Estimation and the Impact of Gene Loss Following Whole-Genome Duplication. [PDF]

Syst Biol, 2022
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) occurs broadly and repeatedly across the history of eukaryotes and is recognized as a prominent evolutionary force, especially in plants. Immediately following WGD, most genes are present in two copies as paralogs.

Repeated MDA5 Gene Loss in Birds: An Evolutionary Perspective

Viruses, 2021
Two key cytosolic receptors belonging to the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) family sense the viral RNA-derived danger signals: RIG-I and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5).

Modelling of gene loss propensity in the pangenomes of three Brassica species suggests different mechanisms between polyploids and diploids

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2021
Summary Plant genomes demonstrate significant presence/absence variation (PAV) within a species; however, the factors that lead to this variation have not been studied systematically in Brassica across diploids and polyploids.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) in fishes

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Toll-like receptors 5 (TLR5), a member of the toll-like receptors (TLRs) family, is a class of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
