The shape of human gene family phylogenies [PDF]
Background: The shape of phylogenetic trees has been used to make inferences about the evolutionary process by comparing the shapes of actual phylogenies with those expected under simple models of the speciation process. Previous studies have focused

The economics of organellar gene loss and endosymbiotic gene transfer [PDF]
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

Evolutionary Histories of Type III Polyketide Synthases in Fungi
Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) produce secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities, including antimicrobials. While they have been extensively studied in plants and bacteria, only a handful of type III PKSs from fungi has been ...

Molecular characterisation of ERG, ETV1 and PTEN gene loci identifies patients at low and high risk of death from prostate cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The discovery of ERG/ETV1 gene rearrangements and PTEN gene loss warrants investigation in a mechanism-based prognostic classification of prostate cancer (PCa).

Genetic Hearing Loss and Gene Therapy [PDF]
Genetic hearing loss crosses almost all the categories of hearing loss which includes the following: conductive, sensory, and neural; syndromic and nonsyndromic; congenital, progressive, and adult onset; high-frequency, low-frequency, or mixed frequency; mild or profound; and recessive, dominant, or sex-linked.

Dynamic Evolution of Avian RNA Virus Sensors: Repeated Loss of RIG-I and RIPLET
Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) are key RNA virus sensors belonging to the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) family.

Loss of dispensable genes is not adaptive in yeast [PDF]
A substantial share of genes identified in yeast can be deleted without visible phenotypic effects. Current debate concentrates on the possible roles of seemingly dispensable genes. The costs of maintaining unnecessary functions has attracted little attention. The hypothesis of antagonistic pleiotropy postulates that adaptations to

The vertebrate toll-like receptor (TLRs) supergene family is a first-line immune defense against viral and non-viral pathogens. Here, comparative evolutionary-genomics of 79 vertebrate species (8 mammals, 48 birds, 11 reptiles, 1 amphibian, and 11 fishes)

Association of the CCR5 gene with juvenile idiopathic arthritis [PDF]
The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) has been shown to be important in the recruitment of T-helper cells to the synovium, where they accumulate, drive the inflammatory process and the consequent synovitis and joint destruction.
