T2prhd: a tool to study the patterns of repeat evolution [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: The models developed to characterize the evolution of multigene families (such as the birth-and-death and the concerted models) have also been applied on the level of sequence repeats inside a gene/protein.

Functional relevance of the newly evolved sperm dynein intermediate chain multigene family in Drosophila melanogaster males [PDF]

, 2012
In many animal species, traits associated with male fitness evolve rapidly. Intersexual conflict and male-male competition have been suggested to drive this rapid evolution.

Pleiotropic fitness effects of a Drosophila odorant-binding protein

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are members of a rapidly evolving multigene family traditionally thought to facilitate chemosensation. However, studies on DrosophilaObp56hD.

A new computational approach redefines the subtelomeric vir superfamily of Plasmodium vivax

BMC Genomics, 2013
Background Subtelomeric multigene families of malaria parasites encode virulent determinants. The published genome sequence of Plasmodium vivax revealed the largest subtelomeric multigene family of human malaria parasites, the vir super-family, presently

The Turkey Ig-like receptor family: identification, expression and function. [PDF]

, 2012
The chicken leukocyte receptor complex located on microchromosome 31 encodes the chicken Ig-like receptors (CHIR), a vastly expanded gene family which can be further divided into three subgroups: activating CHIR-A, bifunctional CHIR-AB and inhibitory ...

Molecular Organization and Chromosomal Localization Analysis of 5S rDNA Clusters in Autotetraploids Derived From Carassius auratus Red Var. (♀) × Megalobrama amblycephala (♂)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
The autotetraploid fish (4n = 200, RRRR) (abbreviated as 4nRR) resulted from the whole genome duplication of red crucian carp (Carassius auratus red var., 2n = 100, RR) (abbreviated as RCC).

Variant Exported Blood-Stage Proteins Encoded by Plasmodium Multigene Families Are Expressed in Liver Stages Where They Are Exported into the Parasitophorous Vacuole.

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Many variant proteins encoded by Plasmodium-specific multigene families are exported into red blood cells (RBC). P. falciparum-specific variant proteins encoded by the var, stevor and rifin multigene families are exported onto the surface of infected red

Chromosomal mapping of rDNAs and H3 histone sequences in the grasshopper rhammatocerus brasiliensis (acrididae, gomphocerinae): extensive chromosomal dispersion and co-localization of 5S rDNA/H3 histone clusters in the A complement and B chromosome

Molecular Cytogenetics, 2011
Background Supernumerary B chromosomes occur in addition to standard karyotype and have been described in about 15% of eukaryotes, being the repetitive DNAs the major component of these chromosomes, including in some cases the presence of multigene ...

Multigene families in African swine fever virus: Family 505

, 2022
Sequencing of restriction fragment EcoRI A-SalI C of African swine fever virus has revealed the existence of a multigene family, designated family 505 because of the average number of amino acids in the proteins, composed of seven homologous and tandemly
