Annotating coding genes and inferring orthologs are two classical challenges in genomics
and evolutionary biology that have traditionally been approached separately, limiting …

SERPIN (serine proteinase inhibitors) is an acronym for the superfamily of structurally similar
proteins found in animals, plants, bacteria, viruses, and archaea. Over 1500 SERPINs are …

Photic niche shifts of mammals are associated with changing visual capabilities, primarily
mediated by three visual pigments, two (SWS1 and M/LWS) of them for color vision and …

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) maintains photoreceptor viability and function,
completes the visual cycle, and forms the outer blood-retinal barrier (oBRB). Loss of RPE …

Gene loss is an important mechanism for evolution in low-light or cave environments where
visual adaptations often involve a reduction or loss of eyesight. The plaat gene family …
