Gone with the Species: From Gene Loss to Gene Extinction

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Scholar
Background: 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]

open access: yesDatabase (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.

A chromosome-scale Gastrodia elata genome and large-scale comparative genomic analysis indicate convergent evolution by gene loss in mycoheterotrophic and parasitic plants.

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, 2021
Mycoheterotrophic and parasitic plants are heterotrophic and respectively parasitize on fungi and plants to obtain nutrients. Large-scale comparative genomics has not been conducted among mycoheterotrophic or parasitic plants or between these two groups ...

Lost in the bloom: DNA-PKcs in green plants

open access: yesFrontiers 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).

A Population-Genetic Lens into the Process of Gene Loss Following Whole-Genome Duplication

open access: yesMolecular biology and evolution, 2022
Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) have occurred in many eukaryotic lineages. However, the underlying evolutionary forces and molecular mechanisms responsible for the long-term retention of gene duplicates created by WGDs are not well understood. We employ

Ancient Gene Capture and Recent Gene Loss Shape the Evolution of Orthopoxvirus-Host Interaction Genes

open access: yesmBio, 2021
Orthopoxviruses (ORPV) include smallpox (variola) virus, one of the most devastating human pathogens, and vaccinia virus, comprising the vaccine used for smallpox eradication.

Gene therapy for hearing loss [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2019
Abstract Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common sensory disorder. Its underlying etiologies include a broad spectrum of genetic and environmental factors that can lead to hearing loss that is congenital or late onset, stable or progressive, drug related, noise induced, age related, traumatic or post-infectious.
