Coevolution Theory of the Genetic Code at Age Forty: Pathway to Translation and Synthetic Life
Life, 2016 The origins of the components of genetic coding are examined in the present study. Genetic information arose from replicator induction by metabolite in accordance with the metabolic expansion law.

Intron Evolution in Saccharomycetaceae [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2014 Introns in protein-coding genes are very rare in hemiascomycetous yeast genomes. It has been suggested that these species have experienced extensive intron loss during their evolution from the postulated intron-rich fungal ancestor. However, no intron-devoidy east species have been identified and some of the introns remaining within the genomes of ...

Expression of the C-allele of intronic rs8192675 in SLC2A2 is associated with improved glucose response to metformin [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular BiologyGlucose is a critical nutrient for energy metabolism. The SLC2A2 gene is essential for glucose sensing and homeostasis, as it encodes the facilitated glucose transporter GLUT2. During diabetes treatment, the C-allele of rs8192675 in SLC2A2 has been found

Improved osteogenic vector for non-viral gene therapy [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2016 Therapeutic compensation of deficient bone regeneration is a challenging task and a topic of on-going search for novel treatment strategies. One promising approach for improvement involves non-viral gene delivery using the bone morphogenetic protein-2 ...

Nucleic Acids Research, 1987 The sequence information for the splicing process of introns is found in the consensus sequences at the two splice sites. For long introns, of 300 or more nucleotides, the middle regions may provide additional specificity for splicing which can be investigated by defining an adequate quantitative parameter.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Fungi comprise a great diversity of species with distinct ecological functions and lifestyles. Similar to other eukaryotes, fungi rely on interactions with prokaryotes and one of the most important symbiotic events was the acquisition of mitochondria ...

A New Reference Genome Assembly for the Microcrustacean Daphnia pulex
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 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 (

Taxonomy of introns and the evolution of minor introns
Nucleic Acids ResearchAbstract Classification of introns, which is crucial to understanding their evolution and splicing, has historically been binary and has resulted in the naming of major and minor introns that are spliced by their namesake spliceosome. However, a broad range of intron consensus sequences exist, leading us to here reclassify introns as ...
