Lateral transfer of a lectin-like antifreeze protein gene in fishes.
PLoS ONE, 2008 Fishes living in icy seawater are usually protected from freezing by endogenous antifreeze proteins (AFPs) that bind to ice crystals and stop them from growing. The scattered distribution of five highly diverse AFP types across phylogenetically disparate

Horizontal gene transfer contributes to plant evolution : the case of Agrobacterium T-DNAs [PDF]
, 2017 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can be defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism without being its offspring. HGT is common in the microbial world including archaea and bacteria, where HGT mechanisms are widely understood and ...

Inapproximability Results for the Lateral Gene Transfer Problem [PDF]
Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, 2005 This paper concerns the Lateral Gene Transfer Problem. This minimization problem, defined by Hallett and Lagergren (2001), is that of finding the most parsimonious lateral gene transfer scenario for a given pair of gene and species trees. Our main results are the following:

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT C‐truncating variants in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) gene are a rare cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), previously identified only in Denmark, Belgium, and China. We report a novel CHMP2B splice‐site variant (c.35‐1G>A) associated with familial FTLD in Spain. The cases were two monozygotic male twins who

Horizontally transferred genes in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has had major impacts on the biology of a wide range of organisms from antibiotic resistance in bacteria to adaptations to herbivory in arthropods. A growing body of literature shows that HGT between non-animals and animals

The largest reservoir of mitochondrial introns is a relic of an ancestral split gene [PDF]
, 2010 In eukaryotes, introns are located in nuclear and organelle genes from several kingdoms (ref. 1-4). Large introns (0.1 to 5 kbp) are frequent in mitochondrial genomes of plant and fungi (ref.

A Singular Bacteriophytochrome Acquired by Lateral Gene Transfer [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007 Bacteriophytochromes are phytochrome-like proteins that mediate photosensory responses in various bacteria according to their light environment. The genome of the photosynthetic and plant-symbiotic Bradyrhizobium sp. strain ORS278 revealed the presence of a genomic island acquired by lateral transfer harboring a bacteriophytochrome gene, BrBphP3.ORS278,

Pattern formation during de novo assembly of the Arabidopsis shoot meristem [PDF]
, 2007 Most multicellular organisms have a capacity to regenerate tissue after wounding. Few, however, have the ability to regenerate an entire new body from adult tissue. Induction of new shoot meristems from cultured root explants is a widely used, but poorly
