  1. ..., including DNA- or RNA-mediated duplication and de novo origination, lead to a high rate of protein-coding gene gain in human evolution (Zhang et al. 2012; Zhang and Long 2014). Transcriptome profiling has revealed that new genes in the human postdating the human and mouse split (i.e., primate-specific genes...
  2. ...noncoding DNA sites and significantly slower for synonymous sites. The absence of a X/A difference for putatively neutral sites and the robustness of the pattern to Gene Ontology and sex-biased expression suggest that partly recessive beneficial mutations may comprise a substantial fraction of noncoding DNA...
  3. ...like orangutans (Haaf and Schmid 1987; Ijdo et al. 1991; Ventura et al. 2011), such structures are not unique to African great apes. A similar, albeit larger, subterminal heterochromatic cap structure composed of alpha-satellite DNA was described for siamang s from the gibbon lineage (Koga et al. 2012...
  4. ...). Enhanced recombination is also thought to account for the accelerated rate of evolution noted for genes in the PAR (particularly in rodents and to a lesser extent in primates), as recombination is accompanied by DNA repair relying on low-fidelity DNA polymerases ( Perry and Ashworth 1999 ; Filatov...
  5. ...the presence of full-length PRDM9 genes in the s of both species, which suggests recombination hotspots in termites might be determined by PRDM9, as they are in mammals. We also find that recombination rates in genes are correlated with inferred levels of germline DNA methylation. The finding of low...
  6. ...Cycle Ruby stain (Invitrogen) and 10% FBS, the cells were sorted on the basis of their fluorescence emission intensity, whichwas correlated with the DNA content, to collect pachytene spermatocytes (4n) and round spermatids (1n). We confirmed high purity (>90%) for the pachytene spermatocyte preparation...
  7. ...). Supporting this idea, a detailed investigation of the evolutionary history of human DNA transposons revealed that many transposons were intensively active during early primate evolution (∼80–40 million years ago [Mya]), but this activity ceased approximately ∼40 Mya ( Pace and Feschotte 2007 ). Analyses...
  8. ...% of all TEs in the human but only ∼10% in zebrafish (International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium 2001; Howe et al. 2013). In contrast, ∼40% of the zebrafish comprises DNA transposons, whereas in humans, they occupy just ∼3% (Pace and Feschotte 2007). Overall, all the major lineages of eukaryotic...
  9. ...family Felidae but show high transcript diversity, copy number variation, and structural rearrangement. Our analysis of ampliconic gene evolution unveils a complex pattern of long-term gene content stability despite extensive structural variation on a nonrecombining background.Advances in DNA sequencing...
  10. ...Pol III transcription as opposed to the bystander RNAs from Pol II transcription of the host genes.RAMPAGE is a 5′-complete cDNA sequencing assay that captures the transcription start site (TSS) at single-nucleotide resolution and provides transcript connectivity via paired-end sequencing (Batut et al...
