Selection for Higher Gene Copy Number after Different Types of Plant Gene Duplications
The evolutionary origins of the multitude of duplicate genes in the plant genomes are still incompletely understood. To gain an appreciation of the potential selective forces acting on these duplicates, we phylogenetically inferred the set of metabolic gene families from 10 flowering plant (angiosperm) genomes. We then compared the metabolic fluxes for these families, predicted using the Arabid...
متن کاملCopy Number Variants and Segmental Duplications Show Different Formation Signatures
In addition to variation in terms of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), whole regions ranging from several kilobases up to a megabase in length differ in copy number among individuals. These differences are referred to as Copy Number Variants (CNVs) and extensive mapping of these is underway. Recent studies have highlighted their great prevalence in the human genome. Segmental Duplications...
متن کاملThe neutral coalescent process for recent gene duplications and copy-number variants.
I describe a method for simulating samples from gene families of size two under a neutral coalescent process, for the case where the duplicate gene either has fixed recently in the population or is still segregating. When a duplicate locus has recently fixed by genetic drift, diversity in the new gene is expected to be reduced, and an excess of rare alleles is expected, relative to the predicti...
متن کاملEvaluation of HER2, MDM2, MYC, MET and TP53 gene copy number alterations in gastric cancer patients
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is considered as one of the most common types of cancer worldwide with poor prognosis and generally limited treatment options. Recent studies have indicated that HER2, MDM2, MYC, MET, and TP53 play an important role in the development of gastric cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of amplification/deletion of these genes in pati...
متن کاملThe current excitement about copy-number variation: how it relates to gene duplications and protein families.
Following recent technological advances there has been an increasing interest in genome structural variants (SVs), in particular copy-number variants (CNVs)--large-scale duplications and deletions. Although not immediately evident, CNV surveys make a conceptual connection between the fields of population genetics and protein families, in particular with regard to the stability and expandability...
