Extensive gene loss in the plastome of holoparasitic plant Cistanche tubulosa (Orobanchaceae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Extensive photosynthetic gene loss and rapid evolutionary rate occur in the plastomes of parasitic plants. The holoparasitic plant Cistanche tubulosa of Orobanchaceae is an important medicinal resources that are distributed in arid areas.

Selection-Driven Gene Loss in Bacteria
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Gene loss by deletion is a common evolutionary process in bacteria, as exemplified by bacteria with small genomes that have evolved from bacteria with larger genomes by reductive processes. The driving force(s) for genome reduction remains unclear, and here we examined the hypothesis that gene loss is selected because carriage of superfluous genes ...

Duplication and Losses of Opsin Genes in Lophotrochozoan Evolution
Molecular 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.

Plant protein-coding gene families: Their origin and evolution
Frontiers 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 ...

PLoS Comput. Biol., 2019 In recent years it became clear that in eukaryotic genome evolution gene loss is prevalent over gene gain. However, the absence of genes in an annotated genome is not always equivalent to the loss of genes.

Defining pathogenic bacterial species in the genomic era
Frontiers 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
G3: 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.
