Genome-wide and molecular evolution analysis of the subtilase gene family in
(2014-12)
Background
Vitis vinifera (grape) is one of the most economically significant fruit crops in the world. The availability of the recently released grape genome sequence offers an opportunity to identify and analyze some ...
The scale and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer in the choanoflagellate
(2013-10)
Background
It is generally agreed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in phagotrophic protists. However, the overall scale of HGT and the cumulative impact of acquired genes on the evolution of these organisms ...
Widespread impact of horizontal gene transfer on plant colonization of land
(2012-10)
In complex multicellular eukaryotes such as animals and plants, horizontal gene transfer is commonly considered rare with very limited evolutionary significance. Here we show that horizontal gene transfer is a dynamic ...
Analyses of the oligopeptide transporter gene family in poplar and grape
(2011)
Background
Oligopeptide transporters (OPTs) are a group of membrane-localized proteins that have a broad range of substrate transport capabilities and that are thought to contribute to many biological processes. The OPT ...
