Gene Gain and Gene Loss in Streptococcus: Is It Driven by Habitat? [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2006 Bacterial genomes can evolve either by gene gain, gene loss, mutating existing genes, and/or by duplication of existing genes. Recent studies have clearly demonstrated that the acquisition of new genes by lateral gene transfer (LGT) is a predominant force in bacterial evolution.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Mercuric mercury (Hg[II]) is a highly toxic and mobile element that is likely to have had a pronounced and adverse effect on biology since Earth’s oxygenation ~2.4 Gy ago due to its high affinity for protein sulfhydryl groups, which upon binding ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 The family Orobanchaceae including autotrophic, hemiparasitic, and holoparasitic species, is becoming a key taxa to study the evolution of chloroplast genomes in different lifestyles. But the early evolutionary trajectory in the transit from autotrophism

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Most species of Santalales (the sandalwood order) are hemiparasites, including both facultative and obligate hemiparasites. Despite its rich diversity, only a small fraction of the species in the sandalwood order have sequenced plastomes.

Insects, 2023 Expanding on previous efforts to survey the visual opsin repertoires of the Hemiptera, this study confirms that homologs of the UV- and LW-opsin subfamilies are conserved in all Hemiptera, while the B-opsin subfamily is missing from the Heteroptera and ...

Gene Loss Predictably Drives Evolutionary Adaptation
Molecular biology and evolution, 2020 Loss of gene function is common throughout evolution, even though it often leads to reduced fitness. In this study, we systematically evaluated how an organism adapts after deleting genes that are important for growth under oxidative stress. By evolving,

GENE LOSS IN HUMAN TERATOMAS [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1969 If benign cystic teratomas (dermoid cysts) of the ovary arise from a germ cell that has undergone meiosis, they should be missing genes which are present in the person. Three independently segregating allelic isozymes in 11 benign cystic teratomas of the human female ovary were compared with normal tissue of the same case.

Evolutionary Histories of Type III Polyketide Synthases in Fungi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 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 ...

mBio, 2020 Bacterial airway infections, predominantly caused by P. aeruginosa, are a major cause of mortality and morbidity of CF patients. While short insertions and deletions as well as point mutations occurring during infection are well studied, there is a lack ...
