The phylogeography of red and yellow coppersmith barbets (Aves: Megalaima haemacephala)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Understanding the evolution of color in birds is important because it is used for both inter- and intra-specific communication and is often linked to other important traits including life history, behavior, immunology and mate choice.

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 ...

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.

Characterization of a disease-associated mutation affecting a putative splicing regulatory element in intron 6b of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene [PDF]
, 2009 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common recessive disorder caused by >1600 mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. About 13% of CFTR mutations are classified as “splicing mutations,” but for almost 40% of these, their role in ...

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

mAbs, 2023 Introns are included in genes encoding therapeutic proteins for their well-documented function of boosting expression. However, mis-splicing of introns in recombinant immunoglobulin (IgG) heavy chain (HC) transcripts can produce amino acid sequence ...

RHD Genotypes in a Chinese Cohort of Pregnant Women
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 RHD variants in D¯ Chinese pregnant women arose difficulties in management during pregnancy. Therefore, this study aims to precisely manage D¯ pregnant women by evaluating the spectrum of RHD mutations in D¯ pregnant women and getting insight into the ...

A conformational RNA zipper promotes intron ejection during non-conventional XBP1 mRNA splicing. [PDF]
, 2015 The kinase/endonuclease IRE1 is the most conserved signal transducer of the unfolded protein response (UPR), an intracellular signaling network that monitors and regulates the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Methods and Protocols, 2022 Intron evolution may be readily imaged through the combined use of the “dot plot” function of the NCBI BLAST, aligning two sequences at a time, and the Vertebrate “Multiz” alignment and conservation tool of the UCSC Genome Browser. With the NCBI BLAST, an ideal alignment of two highly conserved sequences generates a diagonal straight line in the plot ...

DNA-based S-genotyping of Japanese plum and pluot cultivars to clarify incompatibility relationships [PDF]
, 2007 Diploid japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) cultivars are commonly self-incompatible. To date, 14 incompatibility alleles (S-alleles) have been identified and labeled with alphabetical (S-a-S-n) and 5 with numeric codes (S-1, S-3-S-6).
