From elements to modules: regulatory evolution in Ascomycota fungi.
Regulatory divergence is likely a major driving force in evolution. Comparative transcriptomics provides a new glimpse into the evolution of gene regulation. Ascomycota fungi are uniquely suited among eukaryotes for studies of regulatory evolution, because of broad phylogenetic scope, many sequenced genomes, and facility of genomic analysis. Here we review the substantial divergence in gene exp...
متن کاملUnderstanding Phenotypical Character Evolution in Parmelioid Lichenized Fungi (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota)
Parmelioid lichens form a species-rich group of predominantly foliose and fruticose lichenized fungi encompassing a broad range of morphological and chemical diversity. Using a multilocus approach, we reconstructed a phylogeny including 323 OTUs of parmelioid lichens and employed ancestral character reconstruction methods to understand the phenotypical evolution within this speciose group of li...
متن کاملOrigin and evolution of carnivorism in the Ascomycota (fungi).
Carnivorism is one of the basic life strategies of fungi. Carnivorous fungi possess the ability to trap and digest their preys by sophisticated trapping devices. However, the origin and development of fungal carnivorism remains a gap in evolution biology. In this study, five protein-encoding genes were used to construct the phylogeny of the carnivorous fungi in the phylum Ascomycota; these fung...
متن کاملOn the Inference of Regulatory Elements, Circuits, and Modules
Advances in genomics have led to the production of various functional genomic data as well as genomic sequence data. This is particularly true in yeasts. Such data have proved to be highly useful for inferring regulatory elements and modules. I shall present studies that I have done with my colleagues and collaborators on the following topics. (1) Detection of transcription factors (including t...
متن کاملCis-regulatory elements and human evolution.
Modification of gene regulation has long been considered an important force in human evolution, particularly through changes to cis-regulatory elements (CREs) that function in transcriptional regulation. For decades, however, the study of cis-regulatory evolution was severely limited by the available data. New data sets describing the locations of CREs and genetic variation within and between s...
