Metabolic Adaptation after Whole Genome Duplication [PDF]
Whole genome duplications (WGDs) have been hypothesized to be responsible for major transitions in evolution. However, the effects of WGD and subsequent gene loss on cellular behavior and metabolism are still poorly understood. Here we develop a genome scale evolutionary model to study the dynamics of gene loss and metabolic adaptation after WGD. Using

A model for biased fractionation after whole genome duplication [PDF]
Paralog reduction, the loss of duplicate genes after whole genome duplication (WGD) is a pervasive process. Whether this loss proceeds gene by gene or through deletion of multi-gene DNA segments is controversial, as is the question of fractionation bias, namely whether one homeologous chromosome is more vulnerable to gene deletion than the other.As a ...

GPCR genes are preferentially retained after whole genome duplication. [PDF]
One of the most interesting questions in biology is whether certain pathways have been favored during evolution, and if so, what properties could cause such a preference.

Genome duplication and gene loss affect the evolution of heat shock transcription factor genes in legumes. [PDF]
Whole-genome duplication events (polyploidy events) and gene loss events have played important roles in the evolution of legumes. Here we show that the vast majority of Hsf gene duplications resulted from whole genome duplication events rather than ...

Parallel evolution of amphioxus and vertebrate small-scale gene duplications
Background Amphioxus are non-vertebrate chordates characterized by a slow morphological and molecular evolution. They share the basic chordate body-plan and genome organization with vertebrates but lack their 2R whole-genome duplications and their ...

Independent large scale duplications in multiple M. tuberculosis lineages overlapping the same genomic region [PDF]
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of most human tuberculosis, infects one third of the world's population and kills an estimated 1.7 million people a year. With the world-wide emergence of drug resistance, and the finding of more functional

Genomic plasticity enables phenotypic variation of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. [PDF]
Whole genome sequencing revealed the presence of a genomic anomaly in the region of 4.7 to 4.9 Mb of the Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 genome.

Background Gene duplication has had a major impact on genome evolution. Localized (or tandem) duplication resulting from unequal crossing over and whole genome duplication are believed to be the two dominant mechanisms contributing to vertebrate genome ...
