The pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are the most abundant trophoblastic proteins
in maternal blood during human pregnancy and they appear to be exclusive to species with …

Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily
and are closely related to the predominantly membrane-bound CEACAM proteins. PSGs are …

Segmental duplications contribute to human evolution, adaptation and genomic instability
but are often poorly characterized. We investigate the evolution, genetic variation and …

We map 114 gene gains and 74 gene losses in the P450 gene family across the phylogeny
of 12 Drosophila species by examining the congruence of gene trees and species trees …

Gene conversion is the copying of a genetic sequence from a “donor” region to an
“acceptor.” In nonallelic gene conversion (NAGC), the donor and the acceptor are at distinct …

The pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are a family of proteins secreted by the
syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta and are the most abundant trophoblastic proteins in …

X-linked cone dysfunction disorders such as Blue Cone Monochromacy and X-linked Cone
Dystrophy are characterized by complete loss (of) or reduced L-and M-cone function due to …

Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) within segmental duplications (SDs) have not been
systematically assessed because of the difficulty in mapping short-read sequence data to …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) is considered to be
the main enzyme determining the rate of photosynthesis. The small subunit of the protein …

Background Interlocus gene conversion (IGC) is a recombination-based mechanism that
results in the unidirectional transfer of short stretches of sequence between paralogous loci …
