We investigate the evolution of LCR16a, a putative driver of this phenomenon that encodes one of the most rapidly evolving human–ape gene families, nuclear pore interacting protein (NPIP). Results Comparative analysis shows that LCR16a has independently expanded in five primate lineages over the ...
Dinosaurs hardly came up at school, for that matter neither did evolution. One time we students had to correct the teacher thatBrachiosaurus, and notTyrannosaurus, was the largest dinosaur. Early in 1964 my mother enrolled me in a private art class I attended once a week after school. Took ...
Intermixing of genomes through meiotic reassortment and recombination of homologous chromosomes is a unifying theme of sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms and is considered crucial for their adaptive evolution. Previous studies of the budding yeast speciesSaccharomycodes ludwigiisuggested that meiotic ...
Updated on March 15, 2024, by Megan Smith: Since the OLED Steam Deck was released in 2023, countless more gamers have purchased their very own Steam Deck to play all sorts of PC games from the comfort of their bed or the couch. Since this article was last updated, there have been plen...

2014) and ape 5.4-1 (Paradis and Schliep 2019). Mating type and inferring the mode of reproduction Isolates were paired with known tester strains of P. × cambivora TJ0029 (A2 mating type) and TJ0030 (A1) to determine their mating type. Plugs (5 mm diam.) were cut from actively...
It has been proposed that anatomical differences in human and great ape guts arose in response to species-specific diets and energy demands. To investigate functional genomic consequences of these differences, we compared their physiological levels of phytanic acid, a branched chain fatty acid that ca...
The “normalised stochasticity ratio (NST)”, “picante,” and “ape” packages were used to calculate phylogenetic NST (pNST) and β-nearest taxon index (βNTI) values. Null model analysis based on phylogenetic bins was used to quantify the contributions of different ecological processes to the...
studies provide further evidence that the human genome has the largest number of insertions from recently active TE families, and that a considerable portion of species-specific TE insertions localize to genic regions, indicating high potential for TEs to influence gene function during human evolution....
