Rapid Genome Evolution and Adaptation of Thlaspi arvense Mediated by Recurrent RNA-Based and Tandem Gene Duplications

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Retrotransposons are the most abundant group of transposable elements (TEs) in plants, providing an extraordinarily versatile source of genetic variation.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Cyclophilin Proteins in 21 Oomycetes

Pathogens, 2019
Cyclophilins (CYPs), a highly-conserved family of proteins, belong to a subgroup of immunophilins. Ubiquitous in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, CYPs have peptidyl-prolyl cis−trans isomerase (PPIase) activity and have been implicated as virulence ...

Reconstruction of gene innovation associated with major evolutionary transitions in the kingdom Fungi

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Fungi exhibit astonishing diversity with multiple major phenotypic transitions over the kingdom’s evolutionary history. As part of this process, fungi developed hyphae, adapted to land environments (terrestrialization), and innovated their ...

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Comparative Analysis of NLR Resistance Genes in Coffea spp.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The largest family of disease resistance genes in plants are nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat genes (NLRs). The products of these genes are responsible for recognizing avirulence proteins (Avr) of phytopathogens and triggering specific defense

Tandem Duplication‐Driven Neofunctionalization of UDP‐Glycosyltransferases Shapes the Diversification of Triterpenoid Saponins in the Cucurbitaceae

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.

Metagenomic Association Uncovers Host Genotype‐Structured Rhizobacterial Networks and Novel Taxa That Enhance Soybean Salt Tolerance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An STI‐guided metagenomic association framework links soybean salt‐tolerance phenotypes with rhizosphere microbiome composition and network organization in natural saline soils. The approach identifies candidate beneficial taxa, including Thalassospira xiamenensis, and provides an efficient strategy for mining stress‐protective microbes from native ...

Glycosyltransferase Family 61 in Liliopsida (Monocot): The Story of a Gene Family Expansion

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant cell walls play a fundamental role in several plant traits and also influence crop use as livestock nutrition or biofuel production. The Glycosyltransferase family 61 (GT61) is involved in the synthesis of cell wall xylans.

ExOrthist: a tool to infer exon orthologies at any evolutionary distance

Genome Biology, 2021
Several bioinformatic tools have been developed for genome-wide identification of orthologous and paralogous genes. However, no corresponding tool allows the detection of exon homology relationships.
