The human homologue of unc-93 maps to chromosome 6q27 - characterisation and analysis in sporadic epithelial ovarian cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Background: In sporadic ovarian cancer, we have previously reported allele loss at D6S193 (62%) on chromosome 6q27, which suggested the presence of a putative tumour suppressor gene.

Duplication and Losses of Opsin Genes in Lophotrochozoan Evolution

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2022
Abstract Opsins are G-coupled receptors playing a key role in metazoan visual processes. While many studies enriched our understanding of opsin diversity in several animal clades, the opsin evolution in Lophotrochozoa, one of the major metazoan groups, remains poorly understood.

Comparative Chloroplast Genomics of Sophora Species: Evolution and Phylogenetic Relationships in the Early-Diverging Legume Subfamily Papilionoideae (Fabaceae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The taxonomy and evolutionary history of Sophora L., a genus with high economic and medicinal value, remain uncertain due to the absence of genetic resource (especially in China) and low polymorphism of molecular markers.

Plant protein-coding gene families: Their origin and evolution

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Steady advances in genome sequencing methods have provided valuable insights into the evolutionary processes of several gene families in plants. At the core of plant biodiversity is an extensive genetic diversity with functional divergence and expansion ...

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Loss of heterozygosity and loss of expression of the DCC gene in gastric cancer. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Pathology, 1998
AIM: To investigate the role of DCC gene inactivation in the development and progression of gastric cancer. METHODS: Loss of heterozygosity and loss of expression of the DCC gene was studied in 51 surgical specimens of gastric cancer using detection based on polymerase chain reaction.

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.

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

Gene Losses during Human Origins

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2006
Pseudogenization is a widespread phenomenon in genome evolution, and it has been proposed to serve as an engine of evolutionary change, especially during human origins (the "less-is-more" hypothesis). However, there has been no comprehensive analysis of human-specific pseudogenes.
