The B vitamins and the cofactors derived from them are essential for life. B vitamin synthesis
in plants is consequently as crucial to plants themselves as it is to humans and animals …

Interspecific breeding in cotton takes advantage of genetic recombination among desirable
genes from different parental lines. However, the expression new alleles (ENAs) from …

Motivation: Gene fusion is an important evolutionary process. It can yield valuable
information to infer the interactions and functions of proteins. Fused genes have been …

Genes evolve by point mutations, but also by shuffling, fusion, and fission of genetic
fragments. Therefore, similarity between two sequences can be due to common ancestry …

Background Gene fusions are the most powerful type of in silico-derived functional
associations. However, many fusion compilations were made when< 100 genomes were …

The biosynthesis of ether lipids and wax esters requires as precursors fatty alcohols, which
are synthesized by fatty acyl reductases (FARs). The presence of ether glycerolipids as well …

S accharomyces cerevisiae H al3 and V hs3 are moonlighting proteins, forming an atypical
heterotrimeric decarboxylase (PPCDC) required for CoA biosynthesis, and regulating cation …

Motivation: Fusion genes result from genomic rearrangements, such as deletions,
amplifications and translocations. Such rearrangements can also frequently be observed in …

To recycle reduced sulfur to methionine in the methionine salvage pathway (MSP), 5-
methylthioribulose-1-phosphate is converted to 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyrate, the methionine …

Abstract (EN) Investigations into the origin and evolution of regulatory mechanisms require
quantitative estimates of the abundance and co-occurrence of functional protein domains …
