Gone with the Species: From Gene Loss to Gene Extinction
Frontiers in Bioscience-ScholarBackground: Vertebrae protein-coding genes exhibit remarkable diversity and are organized into many gene families. These gene families have emerged through various gene duplication events, the most prominent being the two rounds of ...

Gene Loss DB: a curated database for gene loss in mammals-the cetacean collection. [PDF]
Database (Oxford)Abstract Molecular databases are essential resources for both experimental and computational biologists. The rapid increase in high-quality genome assemblies has led to a surge in publications describing secondary gene loss events associated with lineage-specific adaptations across diverse vertebrate groups.

Gene loss during a transition to multicellularity. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Abstract Multicellular evolution is a major transition associated with momentous diversification of multiple lineages and increased developmental complexity. The volvocine algae comprise a valuable system for the study of this transition, as they span from unicellular to undifferentiated and differentiated multicellular morphologies ...

The economics of organellar gene loss and endosymbiotic gene transfer. [PDF]
Genome Biol, 2021 Abstract The endosymbiosis of the bacterial progenitors of mitochondrion and the chloroplast are landmark events in the evolution of life on earth. While both organelles have retained substantial proteomic and biochemical complexity, this complexity is not reflected in the content of their genomes. Instead, the organellar genomes encode

Lost in the bloom: DNA-PKcs in green plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) is a protein encoded by the PRKDC gene in humans and plays a crucial role in repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
