Hox clusters as models for vertebrate genome evolution.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The surprising variation in the number of Hox clusters and the genomic architecture within vertebrate lineages, especially within the ray-finned fish, reflects a history of duplications and subsequent lineage-specific gene loss. Recent research on the evolution of conserved non-coding sequences (CNS) in Hox clusters promises to reveal interesting results for functional and phenotypic diversification.

While the proposal that large-scale genome expansions occurred early in vertebrate evolution is widely accepted, the exact mechanisms of the expansion--such as a single or multiple rounds of whole genome duplication, bloc chromosome duplications, large-scale individual gene duplications, or some combination of these--is unclear. Gene families with a single invertebrate member but four vertebrat...
متن کاملDifferential evolution of the 13 Atlantic salmon Hox clusters.
Hox cluster organization represents a valuable marker to study the effects of recent genome duplication in salmonid fish (25-100 Mya). Using polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNAs, BAC library screening, and genome walking, we reconstructed 13 Hox clusters in the Atlantic salmon containing 118 Hox genes including 8 pseudogenes. Hox paralogs resulting from the genome duplication preced...
متن کاملGenome Duplications and Accelerated Evolution of Hox Genes and Cluster Architecture in Teleost Fishes1
SYNOPSIS. The early origin of four vertebrate Hox gene clusters during the evolution of gnathostomes was likely caused by two consecutive duplications of the entire genome and the subsequent loss of individual genes. The presumed conserved and important roles of these genes in tetrapods during development led to the general assumption that Hox cluster architecture had remained unchanged since t...

Gene and whole genome duplications have profoundly shaped the structure and function of the vertebrate genome. Teleost fish, which comprise approximately 50% of all known vertebrate species, have undergone a third round of whole genome duplication (3R) above and beyond the two rounds of whole genome duplication shared by all vertebrates (2R). Most non-teleost vertebrates including tetrapods hav...
