Journal ArticleDOI

Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome.

Eric S. Lander, +248 more
- 15 Feb 2001 - 
TL;DR: The results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome are reported and an initial analysis is presented, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rates of nucleotide substitution vary greatly among plant mitochondrial, chloroplast, and nuclear DNAs.

TL;DR: The rate of cpDNA evolution appears to have slowed in some dicot lineages following the monocot/dicot split, and the slowdown is more conspicuous at nonsynonymous sites than at synonymous sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular evidence for an ancient duplication of the entire yeast genome

TL;DR: A model is proposed in which this species is a degenerate tetraploid resulting from a whole-genome duplication that occurred after the divergence of Saccharomyces from Kluyveromyces, and protein pairs derived from this duplication event make up 13% of all yeast proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread Paleopolyploidy in Model Plant Species Inferred from Age Distributions of Duplicate Genes

TL;DR: The unusual age profile of tandem gene duplications in Arabidopsis indicates that other scenarios, such as variation in the rate at which duplicated genes are deleted, must also be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turning a hobby into a job: how duplicated genes find new functions.

TL;DR: Genomic data suggest that different gene classes tend to be retained after single-gene and whole-genome duplications, and in many cases the 'new' function of one copy is a secondary property that was always present, but that has been co-opted to a primary role after the duplication.
