The Evolution of Genomic Imprinting [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 1996
Abstract In some mammalian genes, the paternally and maternally derived alleles are expressed differently: this phenomenon is called genomic imprinting. Here we study the evolution of imprinting using multivariate quantitative genetic models to examine the feasibility of the genetic conflict hypothesis.

Genome Evolution of Wolbachia Strain wPip from the Culex pipiens Group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The obligate intracellular bacterium Wolbachia pipientis strain wPip induces cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), patterns of crossing sterility, in the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization to chromosomes as a tool to understand human and primate genome evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
For the last 15 years molecular cytogenetic techniques have been extensively used to study primate evolution. Molecular probes were helpful to distinguish mammalian chromosomes and chromosome segments on the basis of their DNA content rather than solely ...

Transcriptome and methylome profiling reveals relics of genome dominance in the mesopolyploid Brassica oleracea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Brassica oleracea is a valuable vegetable species that has contributed to human health and nutrition for hundreds of years and comprises multiple distinct cultivar groups with diverse morphological and phytochemical attributes.

Genome sequencing of the extinct Eurasian wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, illuminates the phylogeography and evolution of cattle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background Domestication of the now-extinct wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, gave rise to the two major domestic extant cattle taxa, B. taurus and B. indicus.

Plastid Genome Evolution in the Subtribe Calypsoinae (Epidendroideae, Orchiaaceae)

open access: yes, 2020
Calypsoinae is a small subtribe in Orchidaceae (Epidendroideae) characterized by diverse trophic strategies and morphological characters. Calypsoinae includes 13 genera, four of which are leafless and mycoheterotrophic.

Mechanisms of gene duplication and translocation and progress towards understanding their relative contributions to animal genome evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Duplication of genetic material is clearly a major route to genetic change, with consequences for both evolution and disease. A variety of forms and mechanisms of duplication are recognised, operating across the scales of a few base pairs upto entire ...

The evolution of comparative genomics [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2014
In this commentary I have only highlighted a few dimensions that comparative genomics has reached into. Looking at a PubMed search of publications with the exact combination and order of the words “comparative genomics” in the title or abstract identifies 3752 articles as of the date of this writing.

Stress, genomes, and evolution [PDF]

open access: yesCell Stress and Chaperones, 2010
Evolutionary change, whether in populations of organisms or malignant tumor cells, is contingent on the availability of inherited variation for natural selection to act upon. It is becoming clear that the Hsp90 chaperone, which normally functions to buffer client proteins against the effects of genetic variation, plays a central role in this process ...
