The whole-genome duplication 80 million years ago of the common ancestor of salmonids
(salmonid-specific fourth vertebrate whole-genome duplication, Ss4R) provides unique …

For over a thousand years, the common goldfish (Carassius auratus) was raised throughout
Asia for food and as an ornamental pet. As a very close relative of the common carp …

Abstract Adenosine‐to‐inosine (A‐to‐I) RNA editing is an evolutionarily conserved
mechanism that converts adenosines to inosines in metazoans' transcriptomes. However …

Archaeal and bacterial ribosomes contain more than 50 proteins, including 34 that are
universally conserved in the three domains of cellular life (bacteria, archaea, and …

Here we review two connected themes in evolutionary microbiology:(a) the nature of gene
repertoire variation within species groups (pangenomes) and (b) the concept of metabolite …

Background Gene duplication is a prevalent phenomenon and a major driving force
underlying genome evolution. The process leading to the fixation of gene duplicates …

Known for its unusual metamorphic native state structure, XCL1 has been the focus of most
efforts to elucidate the structural, functional, and physiological properties of chemokines in …

Dosage-balance selection preserves functionally redundant duplicates (paralogs) at the
optimum for their combined expression. Here we present a model of the dynamics of …

Gene duplication is an important process in the functional divergence of genes and
genomes. Several processes have been described that lead to duplicate gene retention …

Abstract Constructive Neutral Evolution (CNE) is an evolutionary mechanism that can
explain much molecular inter-dependence and organismal complexity without assuming …
