Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

BMC Research Notes, 2021 Objectives Complex algae are photosynthetic organisms resulting from eukaryote-to-eukaryote endosymbiotic-like interactions. Yet the specific lineages and mechanisms are still under debate. That is why large scale phylogenomic studies are needed. Whereas

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

Drought-Induced Responses of Nitrogen Metabolism in Ipomoea batatas
Plants, 2020 This study investigated the effect of water stress, simulated by the polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) method, on nitrogen (N) metabolism in leaves and roots of hydroponically grown sweet potato seedlings, Xushu 32 (X32) and Ningzishu 1 (N1).

A Target Restricted Assembly Method (TRAM) for Phylogenomics [PDF]
, 2010 While next generation sequencing technology can produce sequences covering the entire genome, assembly and annotation are still prohibitive steps for many phylogenomics applications.

An Unfolding Story: AlphaFold's View on Protein Flexibility
Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.AlphaFold confidence measures allow for detailed proteome‐wide characterization of protein flexibility. All flexibility measures increased substantially in the evolutionary transition from prokaryota to eukaryota. ABSTRACT The AlphaFold confidence measures are related to conformation distribution of the protein.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2020 The Hepatica section Angulosa consists of mainly tetraploid (2n = 28) species that are distributed disjunctly throughout Eurasia. Karyological evidence proves the hybrid origin of the polyploid species of this section. Hepatica transsilvanica is a member

Microbial communities and functional diversity in seafood
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Functional diversity encompasses ecosystem processes that enhance adaptability to environmental change. This study explores the diversity of microorganisms associated with seafood. In this paper, we present our knowledge of microbial diversity in relation to seafood.
