Modeling gene and genome duplications in eukaryotes.
Recent analysis of complete eukaryotic genome sequences has revealed that gene duplication has been rampant. Moreover, next to a continuous mode of gene duplication, in many eukaryotic organisms the complete genome has been duplicated in their evolutionary past. Such large-scale gene duplication events have been associated with important evolutionary transitions or major leaps in development an...
متن کاملConvergent gene loss following gene and genome duplications creates single-copy families in flowering plants.
The importance of gene gain through duplication has long been appreciated. In contrast, the importance of gene loss has only recently attracted attention. Indeed, studies in organisms ranging from plants to worms and humans suggest that duplication of some genes might be better tolerated than that of others. Here we have undertaken a large-scale study to investigate the existence of duplication...

متن کاملDistinct Gene Number-Genome Size Relationships for Eukaryotes and Non-Eukaryotes: Gene Content Estimation for Dinoflagellate Genomes
The ability to predict gene content is highly desirable for characterization of not-yet sequenced genomes like those of dinoflagellates. Using data from completely sequenced and annotated genomes from phylogenetically diverse lineages, we investigated the relationship between gene content and genome size using regression analyses. Distinct relationships between log(10)-transformed protein-codin...
متن کاملGenome diversity in microbial eukaryotes.
The genomic peculiarities among microbial eukaryotes challenge the conventional wisdom of genome evolution. Currently, many studies and textbooks explore principles of genome evolution from a limited number of eukaryotic lineages, focusing often on only a few representative species of plants, animals and fungi. Increasing emphasis on studies of genomes in microbial eukaryotes has and will conti...
