Origin of phenotypes: genes and transcripts.
While the concept of a gene has been helpful in defining the relationship of a portion of a genome to a phenotype, this traditional term may not be as useful as it once was. Currently, "gene" has come to refer principally to a genomic region producing a polyadenylated mRNA that encodes a protein. However, the recent emergence of a large collection of unannotated transcripts with apparently litt...
متن کاملThe origin of adaptive phenotypes.
S equences of DNA provide documentary evidence of the evolutionary past undreamed of by pioneers such as Darwin and Wallace, but their potential as sources of evolutionary information is still far from being realized. A major hindrance to progress has been confusion regarding the role of positive (Darwinian) selection, i.e., natural selection favoring adaptive mutations. In particular, problems...
متن کاملphylogenetic and transcripts profiling of glucose sensing related genes in candida glabrata
results comparative analysis of predicted amino acids in the phylogenetic tree showed high similarity between c. glabrata and s cerevisiae. besides, c. glabrata demonstrated the capability to grow in glucose levels as low as 0.01% in the spot dilution assay. in qrt-pcr analysis, differential expressions were observed in selected genes when c. glabrata was subjected to different glucose concentr...
متن کاملEvolutionary Origin of Orphan Genes
Orphangenes aregenes thatoccur in specific evolutionary lineages without similarity to genes outside of these lineages and have, therefore, alternatively been named taxonomically restricted genes. They were so far considered to emerge through duplication–divergence processes,but it isnow becomingclear that they canalso arise de novo out of noncoding deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This latter proc...
متن کاملPhenoscape: Identifying Candidate Genes for Evolutionary Phenotypes
Phenotypes resulting from mutations in genetic model organisms can help reveal candidate genes for evolutionarily important phenotypic changes in related taxa. Although testing candidate gene hypotheses experimentally in nonmodel organisms is typically difficult, ontology-driven information systems can help generate testable hypotheses about developmental processes in experimentally tractable o...
