Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Order Evolution and Paleopolyploidy in Hemiascomycete Yeasts

TL;DR: It is found that the Génolevures data strongly support the hypothesis that S. cerevisiae is a degenerate polyploid, and the map of sister regions that was constructed previously by using duplicated genes, an independent source of information is extended.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origins of recently gained introns in Caenorhabditis

TL;DR: The authors' results suggest that at least some of the intron gains were caused by reverse splicing of a preexisting intron, and suggest that novel introns have a stronger exon splice site consensus sequence than the general population of introns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erratum: Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome: International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium (Nature (2001) 409 (860-921))

Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleotide substitution rates in legume chloroplast DNA depend on the presence of the inverted repeat.

TL;DR: This work reports a uniform substitution rate in IR-less genomes, and finds this rate to be at the level otherwise reserved for SC genes, and proposes that this acceleration is a direct result of the decrease in the copy number of the sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary erosion of yeast sex chromosomes by mating-type switching accidents

TL;DR: It is suggested that, despite its mutational cost, switching confers an evolutionary benefit by providing a way for an isolated germinating spore to reform spores if the environment is too poor.
