Tail Wags Dog’s SINE: Retropositional Mechanisms of Can SINE Depend on Its A-Tail Structure

open access: yesBiology, 2022
SINEs, non-autonomous short retrotransposons, are widespread in mammalian genomes. Their transcripts are generated by RNA polymerase III (pol III). Transcripts of certain SINEs can be polyadenylated, which requires polyadenylation and pol III termination

RNA Structures and Their Role in Selective Genome Packaging

open access: yesViruses, 2021
To generate infectious viral particles, viruses must specifically select their genomic RNA from milieu that contains a complex mixture of cellular or non-genomic viral RNAs.

Gene content evolution in the arthropods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Arthropods comprise the largest and most diverse phylum on Earth and play vital roles in nearly every ecosystem. Their diversity stems in part from variations on a conserved body plan, resulting from and recorded in adaptive changes in the genome ...

ScRpb4, Encoding an RNA Polymerase Subunit from Sugarcane, Is Ubiquitously Expressed and Resilient to Changes in Response to Stress Conditions

open access: yesAgriculture, 2022
RNA polymerase II is an essential multiprotein complex that transcribes thousands of genes, being a fundamental component of the transcription initiation complex. In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase II is formed by a 10-multisubunit conserved core complex, and

Deciphering the genome structure and paleohistory of _Theobroma cacao_ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We sequenced and assembled the genome of _Theobroma cacao_, an economically important tropical fruit tree crop that is the source of chocolate. The assembly corresponds to 76% of the estimated genome size and contains almost all previously described ...

Systematic Search for Evidence of Interdomain Horizontal Gene Transfer from Prokaryotes to Oomycete Lineages

open access: yesmSphere, 2016
While most commonly associated with prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can also have a significant influence on the evolution of microscopic eukaryotes.

Emergent adaptive behaviour of GRN-controlled simulated robots in a changing environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We developed a bio-inspired robot controller combining an artificial genome with an agent-based control system. The genome encodes a gene regulatory network (GRN) that is switched on by environmental cues and, following the rules of transcriptional ...

Phylogenomic Reconstruction of the Oomycete Phylogeny Derived from 37 Genomes

open access: yesmSphere, 2017
The oomycetes are a class of microscopic, filamentous eukaryotes within the Stramenopiles-Alveolata-Rhizaria (SAR) supergroup which includes ecologically significant animal and plant pathogens, most infamously the causative agent of potato blight ...

Adaptive evolution is substantially impeded by Hill–Robertson interference in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Hill–Robertson interference (HRi) is expected to reduce the efficiency of natural selection when two or more linked selected sites do not segregate freely, but no attempt has been done so far to quantify the overall impact of HRi on the rate of adaptive ...
