Evolutionary dynamics of olfactory receptor genes in chordates: interaction between environments and genomic contents

Human Genomics, 2009
Olfaction is essential for the survival of animals. Versatile odour molecules in the environment are received by olfactory receptors (ORs), which form the largest multigene family in vertebrates. Identification of the entire repertories of OR genes using

Accessing the Variability of Multicopy Genes in Complex Genomes using Unassembled Next-Generation Sequencing Reads: The Case of Trypanosoma cruzi Multigene Families

mBio, 2022
Repetitive elements cause assembly fragmentation in complex eukaryotic genomes, limiting the study of their variability. The genome of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease, has a high repetitive content, including multigene families.

PCR-based isolation of multigene families: Lessons from the avian MHC class IIB [PDF]

, 2013
The amount of sequence data available today highly facilitates the access to genes from many gene families. Universal primers amplifying the desired genes over a range of species are readily obtained by aligning conserved gene regions, and laborious gene isolation procedures can often be replaced by quicker PCR-based approaches.

Expression of genes related to flavonoid and stilbene synthesis as affected by signaling chemicals and Botrytis cinerea in grapevines

Biologia Plantarum, 2014
Recent studies have shown that the expression of genes related to the synthesis of flavonoids, such as the phenylalanineammonia lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), and stilbene synthase (STS) genes were induced in response to ...

Claudin multigene family encoding four-transmembrane domain protein components of tight junction strands.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1999
Two related integral membrane proteins, claudin-1 and -2, recently were identified as novel components of tight junction (TJ) strands. Here, we report six more claudin-like proteins, indicating the existence of a claudin gene family.

DIFFERENTIATION OF A MULTIGENE FAMILY BETWEEN POPULATIONS [PDF]

Evolution, 1987
Differentiation of a multigene family between populations is investigated under the forces of intrachromosomal unbiased gene conversion, neutral mutation, recombination, and random drift. The infinite-site model without recombination within the gene is employed, and the average numbers of the different sites between pairs of genes at the same locus and

Characterization and Antifungal Properties of Wheat Nonspecific Lipid Transfer Proteins

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2008
This study simultaneously considered the phylogeny, fatty acid binding ability, and fungal toxicity of a large number of monocot nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (ns-LTP). Nine novel full-length wheat ns-LTP1 clones, all possessing coding sequences of

Evolutionary Dynamics of Multigene Families in Triportheus (Characiformes, Triportheidae): A Transposon Mediated Mechanism?

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Triportheus (Characiformes, Triportheidae) is a freshwater fish genus with 18 valid species. These fishes are widely distributed in the major river drainages of South America, having commercial importance in the fishing market, mainly in the Amazon basin.

RBCS1A and RBCS3B, two major members within the Arabidopsis RBCS multigene family, function to yield sufficient Rubisco content for leaf photosynthetic capacity

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2012
Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) small subunit (RBCS) is encoded by a nuclear RBCS multigene family in many plant species.

Effect of individual suppression of RBCS multigene family on Rubisco contents in rice leaves.

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2012
In higher plants, a small subunit of Rubisco is encoded for by an RBCS multigene family in the nuclear genome. However, it is unknown how each multigene member contributes to the accumulation of Rubisco holoenzyme.
