Expansive evolution of the TREHALOSE-6-PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATASE gene family in Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2012
Trehalose is a nonreducing sugar used as a reserve carbohydrate and stress protectant in a variety of organisms. While higher plants typically do not accumulate high levels of trehalose, they encode large families of putative trehalose biosynthesis genes.

Multigene typing and phylogenetic analysis of Fasciola from endemic foci in Iran

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020
Fasciolosis is a public health problem originally transmitted from livestock. Although molecular analysis of the nuclear and mitochondrial genes allow discrimination between the two known species of Fasciola, F. hepatica and F. gigantica, these markers do not permit the detection of hybrid forms.

Evolution of genes and repeats in the Nimrod superfamily [PDF]

, 2008
The recently identified Nimrod superfamily is characterized by the presence of a special type of EGF repeat, the NIM repeat, located right after a typical CCXGY/W amino acid motif.

Variability and action mechanism of a family of anticomplement proteins in Ixodes ricinus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND: Ticks are blood feeding arachnids that characteristically take a long blood meal. They must therefore counteract host defence mechanisms such as hemostasis, inflammation and the immune response.

Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (MCPH1) in cetaceans. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in ...

Multigene phylogenetic analysis of the Lipomycetaceae and the proposed transfer ofZygozymaspecies toLipomycesandBabjevia anomalatoDipodascopsis [PDF]

FEMS Yeast Research, 2007
Phylogenetic relationships among species assigned to genera of the family Lipomycetaceae were determined from analysis of the nearly entire large, subunit rRNA gene, the small subunit rRNA gene, mitochondrial small subunit rRNA gene and the translation elongation factor-1alpha gene.
