plosjournals.org[HTML] MW Hahn, MV Han, SG Han - PLoS Genet, 2007 - genetics.plosjournals.org Comparison of whole genomes has revealed large and frequent changes in the size of gene
families. These changes occur because of high rates of both gene gain (via duplication) and
loss (via deletion or pseudogenization), as well as the evolution of entirely new genes. ... Cited by 54 - Related articles - Cached - All 11 versions

into the dynamics of genome evolution, the genetic basis of differences between species, and
the functions of individual genes. However, previous scans have been limited in power ... Cited by 41 - Related articles - All 9 versions
genetics.org[HTML] CS McBride, JR Arguello, BC O'Meara - Genetics, 2007 - Genetics Soc America The insect chemoreceptor superfamily comprises the olfactory receptor (Or) and gustatory receptor
(Gr) multigene families. These families give insects the ability to smell and taste chemicals in
the environment and are thus rich resources for linking molecular evolutionary and ... Cited by 32 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 7 versions
usc.edu[PDF] MW Hahn - Evolution, 2008 - BioOne Models describing the dynamics of genetic variants with no effect on fitness—so-called neutral
models—have been around almost as long as the field of population genetics (Fisher 1922; Wright
1931). Decades after the first models were introduced Motoo Kimura gave a complete ... Cited by 25 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 11 versions

are some of the central questions in the evolution of miRNAs. Because most known miRNA genes
are ancient and highly conserved, these questions can be best answered by identifying ... Cited by 17 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 9 versions

population history and to estimate divergence times among taxa. Inferences of species history
are generally based on phylogenetic comparisons, which assume that molecular ... Cited by 20 - Related articles - Cached - All 10 versions
oxfordjournals.org[HTML] PR Haddrill, D Bachtrog, P Andolfatto - Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2008 - SMBE There is now a wealth of evidence that some of the most important regions of the genome are
found outside those that encode proteins, and noncoding regions of the genome have been
shown to be subject to substantial levels of selective constraint, particularly in Drosophila. ... Cited by 16 - Related articles - All 7 versions

to reevaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid in the mapping
of assembled scaffolds. Here, we present an overview of the importance of cytogenetic ... Cited by 16 - Related articles - All 7 versions

considerable fraction of amino acid differences between species can be attributed to positive
selection and that genes with sex-biased expression, that is, those expressed ... Cited by 14 - Related articles - All 4 versions
