Constraining Whole-Genome Duplication Events in Geological Time

open access: yes, 2023
The timing of whole-genome duplication (WGD) events is crucial to understanding their role in evolution and underpins many hypotheses linking WGD to increased diversity and complexity. As such, means of estimating the timing of the WGD events relative to their macroevolutionary outcomes are of considerable importance. Molecular clock methods facilitate

An update on MyoD evolution in teleosts and a proposed consensus nomenclature to accommodate the tetraploidization of different vertebrate genomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
DJM was supported by a Natural Environment Research Council studentship (NERC/S/A/2004/12435).Background: MyoD is a muscle specific transcription factor that is essential for vertebrate myogenesis. In several teleost species, including representatives of

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Interrogating the immune landscape of microsatellite stable RAS‐mutated colon cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
COLOSSUS project RAS‐mutated MSS colon cancer study explored transcriptomics and immune cell density by immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoscore (IS), ISIC/TuLIS scores, mutation counts, and detected different prevalences but similar microenvironment composition across immune markers with clinical relevance for future immunotherapy combination ...

Rearrangement Rate following the Whole-Genome Duplication in Teleosts [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2006
It is now clear that a whole-genome duplication (WGD) occurred at the base of the teleost fish lineage. Like the other anciently polyploid genomes investigated so far, teleost genomes now behave like diploids with chromosomes forming pairs at meiosis. The diploidization process is currently poorly understood.

Phylogenomic profiles of whole-genome duplications in Poaceae and landscape of differential duplicate retention and losses among major Poaceae lineages

open access: yesNature Communications
Poaceae members shared a whole-genome duplication called rho. However, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of the rho-derived duplicates among Poaceae lineages and implications in adaptive evolution.

A recent duplication revisited: phylogenetic analysis reveals an ancestral duplication highly-conserved throughout the Oryza genus and beyond

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background The role of gene duplication in the structural and functional evolution of genomes has been well documented. Analysis of complete rice (Oryza sativa) genome sequences suggested an ancient whole genome duplication, common to all the grasses ...

Evolution of a complex locus : exon gain, loss and divergence at the Gr39a locus in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background. Gene families typically evolve by gene duplication followed by the adoption of new or altered gene functions. A different way to evolve new but related functions is alternative splicing of existing exons of a complex gene.

Somatic mutational landscape in von Hippel–Lindau familial hemangioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The causes of central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma in Von Hippel–Lindau (vHL) disease are unclear. We used Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on familial hemangioblastoma to investigate events that underlie tumor development. Our findings suggest that VHL loss creates a permissive environment for tumor formation, while additional alterations ...
