Evolution of Gene Regulation: Hybrid Networks Breed Diversity
نویسندگان
چکیده
How do gene regulatory networks evolve? A new study in yeasts shows that cis- and trans-regulatory changes resulted in a hybrid state of coexisting ancestral and derived regulatory circuits. This hybrid state then diversified into a variety of modern networks.

متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Iraqi Local Goat Breeds Using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Markers
Cashmere is only produced from Maraz (Kurdi) goat breed in Iraqi Kurdistan Region. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity of different Maraz color types, black goat and Shami breeds using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Fourteen primers were used and nine out of them were selected based on their number of bands (NB) and polymorphic characteristics. Thes...
متن کاملProtein Modularity, Cooperative Binding, and Hybrid Regulatory States Underlie Transcriptional Network Diversification
We examine how different transcriptional network structures can evolve from an ancestral network. By characterizing how the ancestral mode of gene regulation for genes specific to a-type cells in yeast species evolved from an activating paradigm to a repressing one, we show that regulatory protein modularity, conversion of one cis-regulatory sequence to another, distribution of binding energy a...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Molecular Phylogeny of Iranian Sheep Based on Cytochrome b Gene Sequences
Phylogenetic relationships and genetic variation between two Iranian sheep breeds were analyzed using cytochrome b (cyt-b) gene sequences. The genomic DNA was isolated by salting out method and amplified cytochrome b gene using polymerase chain reaction restriction (PCR) method with a pair of primer. A partial sequence of cyt-b gene of Iranian sheep is 780 bp and contained 13 variable sites and...
متن کاملUsing the Protein-protein Interaction Network to Identifying the Biomarkers in Evolution of the Oocyte
Background Oocyte maturity includes nuclear and cytoplasmic maturity, both of which are important for embryo fertilization. The development of oocyte is not limited to the period of follicular growth, and starts from the embryonic period and continues throughout life. In this study, for the purpose of evaluating the effect of the FSH hormone on the expression of genes, GEO access codes for this...
