Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, powerful model organism for study generalized insect development, and an important pest stored agricultural products. We describe its genome sequence here. This omnivorous beetle has evolved ability to interact with diverse chemical environment, as shown by large expansions in odorant gustatory receptors, well P450 other detoxification enzymes. Development more representative insects than Drosophila, fact reflected...
The analysis of slippage synthesis simple sequence DNA in vitro sheds some light on the question how sequences arise vivo. We show that it is possible to synthesize all types repetitious di- and trinucleotide motifs starting from short primers a polymerase vitro. rate this depends specific rate, but independent length fragments being synthesized. This indicates only ends are involved determining accordingly range effect. Slippage occurs also fixed template where one strand free move,...
Identification of species via DNA sequences is the basis for taxonomy and barcoding. Currently there a strong focus on using mitochondrial marker this purpose, in particular fragment from cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI). While ample evidence that indeed suitable across broad taxonomic range to delineate species, it has also become clear complementation by nuclear system could be advantageous. Ribosomal RNA genes because their global occurrence possibility design universal primers. However,...
Long-finned pilot whales swim in large, extremely cohesive social groups known as pods. Molecular typing revealed that pod members form a single extended family. Mature males neither disperse from nor mate within their natal pods, situation unusual for mammals. Such behavior could be explained terms of inclusive fitness benefits gained by adult helping the large number female relatives with which they swim.
In this, the first of three papers, we present sequence ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes Drosophila melanogaster. The gene regions D. melanogaster rDNA encode four individual rRNAs: 18S (1,995 nt), 5.8S (123 2S (30 and 28S (3,945 nt). DNA (rDNA) repeat is AT rich (65.9% overall), with spacers being particularly rich. Analysis simplicity reveals that, in contrast to intergenic spacer (IGS) external transcribed (ETS), most rRNA have been refractory action slippage-like events, exception expansion...
Phylostratigraphy is a method used to correlate the evolutionary origin of founder genes (that is, functional protein domains) gene families with particular macroevolutionary transitions. It based on model genome evolution that suggests complex phenotypic innovations will be accompanied by emergence such genes, descendants which can still traced in extant organisms. The multicellularity considered transition, for new functions would have been required. Cancer should tightly connected...
New gene emergence is so far assumed to be mostly driven by duplication and divergence of existing genes. The possibility that entirely new genes could emerge out the non-coding genomic background was long thought almost negligible. With increasing availability fully sequenced genomes across broad scales phylogeny, it has become possible systematically study origin over time thus revisit this question. We have used phylostratigraphy assess trends evolution successive phylogenetic phases,...
Phylogenetic trees for the four extant species of African hominoids are presented, based on mtDNA control region-1 sequences from 1,158 unique haplotypes. We include 83 new haplotypes western chimpanzees and bonobos. analysis this enlarged database, which takes intraspecific geographic variability into account, reveals different patterns evolution among great heterogeneity in species-level variation. Several chimpanzee bonobo clades (and even single social groups) have retained substantially...
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal DNA is generally considered to be under low functional constraint, and it therefore often treated as a typical nonfunctional sequence. We have analyzed ITS regions five species from Drosophila melanogaster subgroup, two outside this group (D. pseudoobscura D. virilis), well more distantly related dipteran fly Musca domestica. sequence comparisons show distinctive conservation/divergence pattern, indicating that some are conserved than...
