Genome Streamlining: Effect of Mutation Rate and Population Size on Genome Size Reduction [PDF]
Genome Biology and EvolutionAbstract Genome streamlining, i.e. genome size reduction, is observed in bacteria with very different life traits, including endosymbiotic bacteria and several marine bacteria, raising the question of its evolutionary origin. None of the hypotheses proposed in the literature is firmly established, mainly due to the many confounding ...

Solving the riddle of codon usage preferences: a test for translational selection [PDF]
, 1998 Translational selection is responsible for the unequal usage of synonymous codons in protein coding genes in a wide variety of organisms. It is one of the most subtle and pervasive forces of molecular evolution, yet, establishing the underlying causes ...

A new reference genome assembly for the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex [PDF]
, 2017 Comparing genomes of closely related genotypes from populations with distinct demographic histories can help reveal the impact of effective population size on genome evolution. For this purpose, we present a high quality genome assembly of Daphnia pulex (

Centromere size scales with genome size across Eukaryotes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractPrevious studies on grass species suggested that the total centromere size (sum of all centromere sizes in a cell) may be determined by the genome size, possibly because stable scaling is important for proper cell division. However, it is unclear whether this relationship is universal.

Joint scaling laws in functional and evolutionary categories in prokaryotic genomes [PDF]
, 2011 We propose and study a class-expansion/innovation/loss model of genome evolution taking into account biological roles of genes and their constituent domains. In our model numbers of genes in different functional categories are coupled to each other.
