  1. .... For brain development, primate-specific KRAB zinc-finger proteins (KZNFs) are specifically up-regulated in the mid-fetal stage, which may have contributed to the evolution of this critical stage. Altogether, hundreds of PSGs are either recruited to processes under strong selection pressure or to processes...
  2. ...KRAB, SSXRD, SET, and zinc-finger domains (Fig. 4B). There is no complete homolog of PRDM9 in the M. bellicosus annotation. We therefore used BLAST to search for sequences homologous to the conserved functional domains from C. secundus. We identified a putative PRDM9 ortholog on Scaffold 42 of the M...
  3. ...appears to reside in distal regulatory elements. However, very little is known about a possible role for transposable elements in the evolution of distal regulatory elements, a situation most likely explained by the relative ease of identifying promoters compared to distal regulatory elements. Despite...
  4. ...similarity to retroviral and transposable elements such as LINE1; and also some noncoding sequence erroneously predicted from the reverse strand of presumably functional protein coding sequence. This resulted in a final protein coding gene count of 18,639. By comparison, our similarly estimated minimum gene...
  5. ...and the density of different classes of transposable elements, most notably a significant enrichment of short interspersed nucleotide elements in genomic regions with higher recombination rate. Finally, the analyses unveiled significant enrichment of genes involved in farnesyltranstransferase activity...
  6. ...Finder: solving fundamental biases in whole comparisons dramatically improves orthogroup inference accuracy. Genome Biol 16: 157. Feschotte C. 2008. Transposable elements and the evolution of regulatory networks. Nat Rev Genet 9: 397–405. FitchWM. 1970. Distinguishing homologous from analogous proteins. Syst Zool...
  7. ...these retrotransposable element lineages. Many vertebrate retroviruses have incorporated host genes during their evolution: for example, src in the avian Rous sarcoma virus ( Takeya et al. 1981 ). Thus, one possibility is that the env gene could have been acquired from a host , usurping the normal receptor...
  8. ...) Evolution and multilevel optimization of the genetic code . Genome Res. 17 : 401 – 404 . ↵ Brandt, J. , Schrauth, S. , Veith, A.M. , Froschauer, A. , Haneke, T. , Schultheis, C. , Gessler, M. , Leimeister, C. , Volff, J.N. ( 2005a ) Transposable elements as a source of genetic innovation: Expression...
  9. ...that H3K27 methylation plays a role for restricting CTCF binding in early embryos, ensuring proper organization during development.CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is a conserved transcriptional regulator composed of 11 central zinc-finger domains (ZFs). It plays a crucial role in 3D organization...
  10. ...the highest rate of chromosomal evolution reported so far, with an estimated number of sequence disruptions per Mb per million years of only 0.066 to 0.05 ( Ranz et al. 2001 ). We have tested the possibility that transposable elements could be involved in the generation of these rearrangements and concluded...
