Loss of redundant gene expression after polyploidization in plants

open access: yes, 1978
Based on chromosomal location data of genes encoding 28 biochemical systems in allohexaploid wheat,Triticum aestivum L. (genomes AABBDD), it is concluded that the proportions of systems controlled by triplicate, duplicate, and single loci are 57%, 25 ...

Chloroplast Genome Evolution in Four Montane Zingiberaceae Taxa in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Chloroplasts are critical to plant survival and adaptive evolution. The comparison of chloroplast genomes could provide insight into the adaptive evolution of closely related species. To identify potential adaptive evolution in the chloroplast genomes of

Liver-specific knockout of arginase-1 leads to a profound phenotype similar to inducible whole body arginase-1 deficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Arginase-1 (Arg1) converts arginine to urea and ornithine in the distal step of the urea cycle in liver. We previously generated a tamoxifen-inducible Arg1 deficient mouse model (Arg1-Cre) that disrupts Arg1 expression throughout the whole body and leads

Emerging Gene Therapies for Genetic Hearing Loss [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 2017
Gene therapy, or the treatment of human disease using genetic material, for inner ear dysfunction is coming of age. Recent progress in developing gene therapy treatments for genetic hearing loss has demonstrated tantalizing proof-of-principle in animal models.

Defining pathogenic bacterial species in the genomic era

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Actual definitions of bacterial species are limited due to the current criteria of definition and the use of restrictive genetic tools. The 16S rRNA sequence, for example, has been widely used as a marker for phylogenetic analyses; however, its use often

Horizontal Transfer and Gene Loss Shaped the Evolution of Alpha-Amylases in Bilaterians

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
The subfamily GH13_1 of alpha-amylases is typical of Fungi, but it is also found in some unicellular eukaryotes (e.g., Amoebozoa, choanoflagellates) and non-bilaterian Metazoa.

Medical management of hereditary optic neuropathies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Hereditary optic neuropathies are diseases affecting the optic nerve. The most common are mitochondrial hereditary optic neuropathies, i.e., the maternally inherited Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and dominant optic atrophy (DOA).

Nutritional and Behavioral Intervention for Long‐Term Childhood Acute Leukemia Survivors With Metabolic Syndrome

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common complication in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia (AL), and a major risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease, type‐2‐diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Gene Loss and Evolution of the Plastome. [PDF]

open access: yesGenes (Basel), 2020
AbstractChloroplasts are unique organelles within the plant cells and are responsible for sustaining life forms on the earth due to their ability to conduct photosynthesis. Multiple functional genes within the chloroplast are responsible for a variety of metabolic processes that occur in the chloroplast.
