Highly evolvable malaria vectors: The genomes of 16 Anopheles mosquitoes

Daniel E. Neafsey, +133 more
- 02 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: The authors investigated the genomic basis of vectorial capacity and explore new avenues for vector control, sequenced the genomes of 16 anopheline mosquito species from diverse locations spanning ~100 million years of evolution Comparative analyses show faster rates of gene gain and loss, elevated gene shuffling on the X chromosome, and more intron losses, relative to Drosophila.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eukaryotic Origin-Dependent DNA Replication In Vitro Reveals Sequential Action of DDK and S-CDK Kinases

TL;DR: These studies identify distinct roles for DDK and S-CDK during helicase activation and support a model in which the leading strand DNA polymerase is recruited prior to origin DNA unwinding and RNA primer synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of abundant stop codon readthrough in Drosophila and other metazoa.

TL;DR: An expanded set of 283 readthrough candidates is reported, including 16 double-readthrough candidates; these were manually curated to rule out alternatives such as A-to-I editing, alternative splicing, dicistronic translation, and selenocysteine incorporation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mec1 is one of multiple kinases that prime the Mcm2-7 helicase for phosphorylation by Cdc7.

TL;DR: Genetic interactions between priming site mutations and MRC1 or TOF1 deletion support a role for these modifications in replication fork stability and identify regulatory mechanisms that modulate origin firing and replication fork assembly during cell cycle progression.
