Evolution and diversification of the O-methyltransferase (OMT) gene family in Solanaceae
O-methyltransferases (OMTs) are a group of enzymes involved in several fundamental biological processes in plants, including lignin biosynthesis, pigmentation, and aroma production.

The driver landscape of sporadic chordoma. [PDF]
Chordoma is a malignant, often incurable bone tumour showing notochordal differentiation. Here, we defined the somatic driver landscape of 104 cases of sporadic chordoma. We reveal somatic duplications of the notochordal transcription factor brachyury (T)

Background Teak, a member of the Lamiaceae family, produces one of the most expensive hardwoods in the world. High demand coupled with deforestation have caused a decrease in natural teak forests, and future supplies will be reliant on teak plantations ...

SUMMARYDuring meiosis the two parts of a tandem duplication are able to pair in a double loop instead of pairing with the corresponding region of the homologous chromosome. The frequency of intrachromosomal exchange within this double loop was measured in heterozygous females of tandem duplicationDp(1; 1)Grby the phenotypes of the exceptional F1males ...

Origin of alternative splicing by tandem exon duplication [PDF]
Genes with new functions often evolve by gene duplication. Alternative splicing is another means of evolutionary innovation in eukaryotes, which allows a single gene to encode functionally diverse proteins. We investigate a connection between these two evolutionary phenomena.

Hypertelorism in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1A from the common PMP22 duplication: A Case Report
The 1.4Mb tandem-duplication in the PMP22 gene at 17p11.2 usually manifests as hereditary sensorimotor polyneuropathy with foot deformity, sensorineural hearing-loss, moderate developmental delay, and gait disturbance. Hypertelorism and marked phenotypic

Identification of Sequences Encoding Symbiodinium minutum Mitochondrial Proteins. [PDF]
The dinoflagellates are an extremely diverse group of algae closely related to the Apicomplexa and the ciliates. Much work has previously been undertaken to determine the presence of various biochemical pathways within dinoflagellate mitochondria ...

Modes of gene duplication contribute differently to genetic novelty and redundancy, but show parallels across divergent angiosperms. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Both single gene and whole genome duplications (WGD) have recurred in angiosperm evolution. However, the evolutionary effects of different modes of gene duplication, especially regarding their contributions to genetic novelty or redundancy ...

De novo tandem duplication 17p11→cen [PDF]
A dicentric chromosome 17 is described in a 5-year-old girl with minor malformations and severe mental retardation. The anomaly is interpreted as a de novo duplication of band 17p11 and centromere 17.

Background The amino acid/auxin permease (AAAP) family represents a class of proteins that transport amino acids across cell membranes. Members of this family are widely distributed in different organisms and participate in processes such as growth and ...
