Natural selection versus neutral mutation in the evolution of subterranean life: A false dichotomy?

Autor: David C. Culver, Johanna E. Kowalko, Tanja Pipan

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Vol 11 (2023)

Throughout the evolutionary tree, there are gains and losses of morphological features, physiological processes, and behavioral patterns. Losses are perhaps nowhere so prominent as for subterranean organisms, which typically show reductions or losses

Comparative analysis of codon usage between Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense mitochondrial genomes

Autor: Zhiwen Chen, Jianguo Zhao, Jun Qiao, Weijia Li, Jingwei Li, Ran Xu, Haiyan Wang, Zehui Liu, Baoyan Xing, Jonathan F. Wendel, Corrinne E. Grover

Publikováno v: Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, Vol 5, Iss 3, Pp 2500-2506 (2020)

Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense mitochondrial genomes were analyzed to understand the factors shaping codon usage. While most analyses of codon usage suggest minimal to no bias, nucleotide composition, specifically GC content, was significantly

An Analysis of the Influence of Noneffective Instructions in Linear Genetic Programming

Autor: Vinçcius Veloso de Melo, Márcio P. Basgalupp, Franz Rothlauf, Léo Françoso Dal Piccol Sotto

Publikováno v: Evolutionary Computation. 30:51-74

Linear Genetic Programming (LGP) represents programs as sequences of instructions and has a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) dataflow. The results of instructions are stored in registers that can be used as arguments by other instructions. Instructions t

Molecular sequences are shaped by selection, where the strength of selection relative to drift is determined by effective population size ( N e ). Populations with high N e are expected to undergo stronger purifying selection, and consequently to sho

The somatic molecular evolution of cancer: Mutation, selection, and epistasis

Autor: Sudhir Kumar, Jeffrey P. Townsend, Jason A. Somarelli, Krishna Dasari

Publikováno v: Prog Biophys Mol Biol

Cancer progression has been attributed to somatic changes in single-nucleotide variants, copy-number aberrations, loss of heterozygosity, chromosomal instability, epistatic interactions, and the tumor microenvironment. It is not entirely clear which
