Isolation and identification of a novel rabies virus lineage in China with natural recombinant nucleoprotein gene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Rabies virus (RABV) causes severe neurological disease and death. As an important mechanism for generating genetic diversity in viruses, homologous recombination can lead to the emergence of novel virus strains with increased virulence and changed host ...

Cis-by-Trans regulatory divergence causes the asymmetric lethal effects of an ancestral hybrid incompatibility gene. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 The Dobzhansky and Muller (D-M) model explains the evolution of hybrid incompatibility (HI) through the interaction between lineage-specific derived alleles at two or more loci. In agreement with the expectation that HI results from functional divergence,

The C. elegans LIM homeobox gene lin-11 specifies multiple cell fates during vulval development [PDF]
, 2003 LIM homeobox family members regulate a variety of cell fate choices during animal development. In C. elegans, mutations in the LIM homeobox gene lin-11 have previously been shown to alter the cell division pattern of a subset of the 2° lineage vulval ...

CROSSING RELATIONSHIPS AMONG ANCIENT AND EXPERIMENTAL SUNFLOWER HYBRID LINEAGES [PDF]
Evolution, 2000 Reproductive barrier formation between newly derived hybrid taxa and their parental species represents a major evolutionary hurdle. Here, I examine the development of a sterility barrier during hybrid speciation by examining the fertility of progeny from all combinations of crosses involving three experimentally synthesized sunflower hybrid lineages ...

The Role of Retrotransposons in Gene Family Expansions: Insights from the Mouse \u3ci\u3eAbp\u3c/i\u3e Gene Family [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Retrotransposons have been suggested to provide a substrate for non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) and thereby promote gene family expansion. Their precise role, however, is controversial.

Introgressive Hybridization between Anciently Diverged Lineages of Silene (Caryophyllaceae)
PLoS ONE, 2013 Hybridization has played a major role during the evolution of angiosperms, mediating both gene flow between already distinct species and the formation of new species. Newly formed hybrids between distantly related taxa are often sterile. For this reason, interspecific crosses resulting in fertile hybrids have rarely been described to take place after ...

Geographic Range Dynamics Drove Ancient Hybridization in a Lineage of Angiosperms [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2017 AbstractFactors explaining global distribution patterns have been central to biology since the 19th century, yet failure to combine dispersal-based biogeography with shifts in habitat suitability remains a present-day setback in understanding geographic distributions present and past, and time-extended trajectories of lineages. The lack of methods in a

Hybridization and the origin of new yeast lineages
FEMS Yeast Research, 2020 ABSTRACTHybrids originate from the mating of two diverged organisms, resulting in novel lineages that have chimeric genomes. Hybrids may exhibit unique phenotypic traits that are not necessarily intermediate between those present in the progenitors. These unique traits may enable them to thrive in new environments.
