Combining Genome-Wide Methods to Investigate the Genetic Complexity of Courtship Song Variation in Drosophila melanogaster 21 Aug 2013 | 09:58 am
Little is currently known about the genetic complexity of quantitative behavioral variation, the types of genes involved, or their effects on intermediate phenotypes. Here, we conduct a genome-wide as...
The Skeletal Proteome of the Coral Acropora millepora: The Evolution of Calcification by Co-Option and Domain Shuffling 21 Aug 2013 | 09:58 am
In corals, biocalcification is a major function that may be drastically affected by ocean acidification (OA). Scleractinian corals grow by building up aragonitic exoskeletons that provide support and ...
Genome-Wide Analysis Reveals Origin of Transfer RNA Genes from tRNA Halves 21 Aug 2013 | 09:58 am
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) play an important role linking mitochondrial RNA and amino acids during protein biogenesis. Four types of tRNA genes have been identified in living organisms. However, the evolut...
Contrasting Patterns of Evolution of 45S and 5S rDNA Families Uncover New Aspects in the Genome Constitution of the Agronomically Important Grass Thin... 21 Aug 2013 | 09:58 am
We employed sequencing of clones and in situ hybridization (genomic and fluorescent in situ hybridization [GISH and rDNA-FISH]) to characterize both the sequence variation and genomic organization of ...
The Evolutionary History of Plasmodium vivax as Inferred from Mitochondrial Genomes: Parasite Genetic Diversity in the Americas 21 Aug 2013 | 09:58 am
Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent human malaria parasite in the Americas. Previous studies have contrasted the genetic diversity of parasite populations in the Americas with those in Asia and Oce...
The Ancient and Widespread Nature of the ER-Mitochondria Encounter Structure 21 Aug 2013 | 09:58 am
Mitochondria are the result of a billion years of integrative evolution, converting a once free-living bacterium to an organelle deeply linked to diverse cellular processes. One way in which mitochond...
