Long-term evolution of 5S ribosomal DNA seems to be driven by birth-and-death processes and selection in "Ensis" razor shells (Mollusca: Bivalvia) [PDF]
, 2009 [Abstract] A study of nucleotide sequence variation of 5S ribosomal DNA from six Ensis species revealed that several 5S ribosomal DNA variants, based on differences in their nontranscribed spacers (NTS), occur in Ensis genomes.

Differential in vitro and in vivo effect of barley cysteine and serine protease inhibitors on phytopathogenic microorganisms [PDF]
, 2011 Protease inhibitors from plants have been involved in defence mechanisms against pests and pathogens. Phytocystatins and trypsin/α-amylase inhibitors are two of the best characterized protease inhibitor families in plants.

Evolution-guided functional analyses reveal diverse antiviral specificities encoded by IFIT1 genes in mammals. [PDF]
, 2016 IFIT (interferon-induced with tetratricopeptide repeats) proteins are critical mediators of mammalian innate antiviral immunity. Mouse IFIT1 selectively inhibits viruses that lack 2'O-methylation of their mRNA 5' caps.

Exploration of phylogenetic data using a global sequence analysis method
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005 Background Molecular phylogenetic methods are based on alignments of nucleic or peptidic sequences. The tremendous increase in molecular data permits phylogenetic analyses of very long sequences and of many species, but also requires methods to help ...
