Studying Whole-Genome Duplication Using Experimental Evolution of Spirodela polyrhiza

open access: yes, 2023
In this chapter, we present the use of Spirodela polyrhiza in experiments designed to study the evolutionary impact of whole-genome duplication (WGD). We shortly introduce this duckweed species and explain why it is a suitable model for experimental evolution.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

The Genome Sequence of Alpine Megacarpaea delavayi Identifies Species-Specific Whole-Genome Duplication

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Megacarpaea delavayi (Brassicaceae), a plant found the high mountains of southwest China at high altitudes (3000–4800 m), is used as a vegetable or medicine. Here, we report a draft genome for this species. The assembly genome of M.

Diversification and expression of the PIN, AUX/LAX, and ABCB families of putative auxin transporters in \u3cem\u3ePopulus\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Intercellular transport of the plant hormone auxin is mediated by three families of membrane-bound protein carriers, with the PIN and ABCB families coding primarily for efflux proteins and the AUX/LAX family coding for influx proteins. In the last decade

Performance of four modern whole genome amplification methods for copy number variant detection in single cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Whole genome amplification (WGA) has become an invaluable tool to perform copy number variation (CNV) detection in single, or a limited number of cells.

Evolutionary dynamics of the chloroplast genome in Daphne (Thymelaeaceae): comparative analysis with related genera and insights into phylogenetics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

Evolutionary history of glucose-6-phosphatase encoding genes in vertebrate lineages: towards a better understanding of the functions of multiple duplicates

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background Glucose-6-phosphate (G6pc) is a key enzyme involved in the regulation of the glucose homeostasis. The present study aims at revisiting and clarifying the evolutionary history of g6pc genes in vertebrates.

Chromosome duplication causing gene‐dosage‐based effects on the gene expression level in Gossypium hirsutum‐Gossypium australe addition lines

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2020
Polyploidization, or whole‐genome duplication, leads to gene expression changes that drive the evolution of many plants and some animals. However, the role of the dosage effect on gene expression changes following genome duplication remains unclear. Here,

Organisation, sequence diversity and evolution of a disease-resistance gene cluster in coffee tree (Coffea l.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Pathogen resistance (R) genes of the NBS-LRR class (for nucleotide binding site and leucine-rich repeat) are found in all plant species and confer resistance to a diverse spectrum of pathogens.
