Repeated elements can be widely abundant in eukaryotic genomes, composing more than
50% of the human genome, for example. It is possible to classify repeated sequences into …

Hemiascomycetous yeasts constitute a class of unicellular fungi often associated with the
food and drink processing industries. A number of species including Kluveromyces lactis …

Origination of new genes is an important mechanism generating genetic novelties during the
evolution of an organism. Processes of creating new genes using preexisting genes as the …

Fungi and oomycetes are the causal agents of many of the most serious diseases of plants.
Here we report a detailed comparative analysis of the genome sequences of thirty-six …

The loss of functional redundancy is the key process in the evolution of duplicated genes.
Here we systematically assess the extent of functional redundancy among a large set of …

Background Cytochrome P450 enzymes play critical roles in fungal biology and ecology. To
support studies on the roles and evolution of cytochrome P450 enzymes in fungi based on …

In filamentous fungi, hyphal extension depends on the continuous delivery of vesicles to the
growing tip. Here, we describe the identification of two cell end marker proteins, TeaA and …

The control of dNTP concentrations is critical to the fidelity of DNA synthesis and repair. One
level of regulation is through subcellular localization of ribonucleotide reductase. In …

Rotifers of class Bdelloidea have evolved for millions of years apparently without sexual
reproduction. We have sequenced 45-to 70-kb regions surrounding the four copies of the …

It is widely accepted that newly arisen duplicate gene pairs experience an altered selective
regime that is often manifested as an increase in the rate of protein sequence evolution …
