Evolution of genetic redundancy [PDF]
Nature, 1997 Genetic redundancy means that two or more genes are performing the same function and that inactivation of one of these genes has little or no effect on the biological phenotype. Redundancy seems to be widespread in genomes of higher organisms. Examples of apparently redundant genes come from numerous studies of developmental biology, immunology ...

Microbial Genetics and Evolution
Microorganisms, 2022 Although proto-evolutionary ideas date back to the time of the ancient Greeks, the idea that organisms evolve was not considered a basic element of scientific knowledge until Charles Darwin published his “On the Origin of Species” in 1859 [...]

Evolution and respiratory genetics [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2006 Evolution is a plausible explanation for between-population differences in particular allele frequencies if: the genes involved have related functions; the heterogeneous alleles involved have similar functional consequences; the involved genes are not linked chromosomally; and the patterns observed would result in a biologically plausible, survival ...

Cultural evolution of genetic heritability [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2020 Abstract Behavioral genetics and cultural evolution have both revolutionized our understanding of human behavior – largely independent of each other. Here, we reconcile these two fields under a dual inheritance framework, offering a more nuanced understanding of the interaction between genes and culture.

Genetic draft, selective interference, and population genetics of rapid adaptation [PDF]
, 2013 To learn about the past from a sample of genomic sequences, one needs to understand how evolutionary processes shape genetic diversity. Most population genetic inference is based on frameworks assuming adaptive evolution is rare.

Identification and evolutionary analysis of the nucleolar proteome of Giardia lamblia
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background The nucleoli, including their proteomes, of higher eukaryotes have been extensively studied, while few studies about the nucleoli of the lower eukaryotes – protists were reported.

Cooperative co-evolution of GA-based classifiers based on input increments [PDF]
, 2007 Genetic algorithms (GAs) have been widely used as soft computing techniques in various applications, while cooperative co-evolution algorithms were proposed in the literature to improve the performance of basic GAs.

Is Genetic Evolution Predictable? [PDF]
Science, 2009 Ever since the integration of Mendelian genetics into evolutionary biology in the early 20th century, evolutionary geneticists have for the most part treated genes and mutations as generic entities. However, recent observations indicate that all genes are not equal in the eyes of evolution.
