Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of the Usage of Splice-Associated cis-Motifs Predict the Distribution of Human Pathogenic SNPs
XianMing Wu,Laurence D. Hurst +1 more
TL;DR: The concept of the “fragile” exon is suggested, one home to pathogenic SNPs owing to its vulnerability to splice disruption owing to low ESE density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Error prevention and mitigation as forces in the evolution of genes and genomes.
TL;DR: This Opinion article argues that these and many other — ostensibly disparate — observations are all pieces of an emerging picture in which multiple aspects of gene anatomy and genome architecture have evolved in response to error-prone gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teaching genetics prior to teaching evolution improves evolution understanding but not acceptance.
TL;DR: In the UK, genetics and evolution are typically taught to 14- to 16-y-old secondary school students as separate topics with few links, in no particular order and sometimes with a large time span between as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birt Hogg‐Dubé syndrome‐associated FLCN mutations disrupt protein stability
Michael S. Nahorski,Anne Reiman,Derek Lim,Ravi K. Nookala,Laurence Seabra,Xiaohong Lu,Janine Fenton,Uncaar Boora,Magnus Nordenskjöld,Farida Latif,Laurence D. Hurst,Eamonn R. Maher +11 more
TL;DR: In vitro assessment of protein stability and tumor suppressor activity provides a practical strategy for assessing the pathogenicity of potential FLCN mutations and suggests that multiple protein domains contribute to folliculin stability and tumors suppression activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competition between Transposable Elements and Mutator Genes in Bacteria
Tamás Fehér,Balázs Bogos,Orsolya Méhi,Gergely Fekete,Bálint Csörgő,Károly Kovács,György Pósfai,Balázs Papp,Balázs Papp,Laurence D. Hurst,Csaba Pál +10 more
TL;DR: This work inserted an active IS1 element into a reduced Escherichia coli genome devoid of all other mobile DNA and demonstrates the existence of an evolutionary conflict between mutation-promoting mechanisms.
