Increased Expression and Protein Divergence in Duplicate Genes Is Associated with Morphological Diversification
The differentiation of both gene expression and protein function is thought to be important as a mechanism of the functionalization of duplicate genes. However, it has not been addressed whether expression or protein divergence of duplicate genes is greater in those genes that have undergone functionalization compared with those that have not. We examined a total of 492 paralogous gene pairs as...
متن کاملProlonged illness after infectious mononucleosis is associated with altered immunity but not with increased viral load.
BACKGROUND Primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection causes a spectrum of characteristics that range from asymptomatic seroconversion to severe infectious mononucleosis (IM), sometimes with prolonged symptoms and disability. We examined the relationships between clinical course, number of viral copies, and immunological parameters in a prospective cohort of subjects with recent IM. METHODS E...
متن کاملTime Since Urbanization but Not Encephalisation Is Associated with Increased Tolerance of Human Proximity in Birds
The examination of links between a high degree of encephalisation (i.e., a large brain mass relative to body size) and the capacity of wildlife to inhabit anthropogenic habitats has formed the basis of several recent studies, although typically they have not uncovered any relationship. It, however, remains unclear whether encephalisation is directly related to a species’ capacity to develop tol...
متن کاملMorphological innovation, diversification and invasion of a new adaptive zone.
How ecological opportunity relates to diversification is a central question in evolutionary biology. However, there are few empirical examples of how ecological opportunity and morphological innovation open new adaptive zones, and promote diversification. We analyse data on diet, skull morphology and bite performance, and relate these traits to diversification rates throughout the evolutionary ...
متن کاملInterleukin-10 rs1800896 polymorphism is associated with increased head and neck cancer risk but not associated with its clinical stages
BACKGROUND The association of interleukin-10 rs1800896 polymorphism with head and neck cancer risk and its clinical stages has been investigated by many published studies, but the results remain inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis for further investigation. RESULTS Six case-control studies involving 1,781 head and neck cancer patients and 1,978 controls were yielded. The ...
