Concerted gene recruitment in early plant evolution
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)
Background: Horizontal gene transfer occurs frequently in prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes. Anciently acquired genes, if retained among descendants, might significantly affect the long-term evolution of the recipient ...
Lateral Gene Transfer between Bacteria and Trichoderma reesei
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Lateral gene transfer (LGT) has played an important role in shaping the `tree of life'. It has promoted evolution by generating gene redundancies, which allow for more freedom in terms of allowed mutations in a genome, ...
Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive & Dependence: Using Dodgeball to Explore Frequency Dependent Selection
(2016-09)
The term frequency dependence describes scenarios in which the likelihood
of an event occurring is strongly tied to how common a particular trait is.
Understanding frequency dependence is key to understanding ...
