The Sea Lamprey Meiotic Map Resolves Ancient Vertebrate Genome Duplications
Gene and genome duplications serve as an important reservoir of material for the evolution of new biological functions. It is generally accepted that many genes present in vertebrate genomes owe their origin to two whole genome duplications that occurred deep in the ancestry of the vertebrate lineage. However, details regarding the timing and outcome of these duplications are not well resolved....
متن کاملPhylogenomic analysis reveals ancient segmental duplications in the human genome.
Evolution of organismal complexity and origin of novelties during vertebrate history has been widely explored in context of both regulation of gene expression and gene duplication events. Ohno (1970) for the first time put forward the idea of two rounds whole genome duplication events as the most plausible explanation for evolutionarizing the vertebrate lineage (2R hypothesis). To test the vali...
متن کاملInference of gene loss rates after whole genome duplications at early vertebrates through ancient genome reconstructions
The famous 2R hypothesis was first proposed by Susumu Ohno in 1970. It states that the two whole genome duplications had shaped the genome of early vertebrates. The most convincing evidence for 2R hypothesis comes from the 4:1 ratio chromosomal regions that have preserved both gene content and order in vertebrates compared with closely related. However, due to the shortage of such strict eviden...
متن کاملAncient large-scale genome duplications: phylogenetic and linkage analyses shed light on chordate genome evolution.
Paralogous genes from several families were found in four human chromosome regions (4p16, 5q33-35, 8p12-21, and 10q24-26), suggesting that their common ancestral region underwent several rounds of large-scale duplication. Searches in the EMBL databases, followed by phylogenetic analyses, showed that cognates (orthologs) of human duplicated genes can be found in other vertebrates, including bony...
متن کاملAutopolyploidy genome duplication preserves other ancient genome duplications in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Salmonids (e.g. Atlantic salmon, Pacific salmon, and trouts) have a long legacy of genome duplication. In addition to three ancient genome duplications that all teleosts are thought to share, salmonids have had one additional genome duplication. We explored a methodology for untangling these duplications from each other to better understand them in Atlantic salmon. In this methodology, homeolog...
