Gene flowSouth AsiaSoutheast AsiaVolant vertebratesGene flow, the exchange of genetic material between populations is an important biological process, which shapes and maintains biodiversity. The successful movement of individuals between populations depends on multiple factors determined by species biology ...
because alleles of some genesdisperseacross species boundaries more easily than others. This observation has been reported across many different organisms, and it is associated with both single genes and large genomic regions, such as whole chromosomes or chromosomal regions. One well-studied example i...
Thus, all genetic information can be seen to flow from the DNA through proteins and, from these, to structure and function. The unit of DNA that contains the information necessary to synthesize a single protein is known as a gene. In higher organisms that have nuclei in their cells (...
Current methods for analyzing single-cell datasets have relied primarily on static gene expression measurements to characterize the molecular state of individual cells. However, capturing temporal changes in cell state is crucial for the interpretation o
For example, gene flow between golden jackals and gray wolves and between African golden wolves and gray wolves is lowest when North American gray wolves are considered, somewhat higher for Asian and European gray wolves, and highest with the gray wolves from the Middle East (e.g., Israel, ...
A long-standing problem in regulatory genomics is that of predicting gene expression purely from DNA sequence. With a novel transformer architecture, we have made a significant improvement by greatly expanding the receptive field and increasing the information flow between distal elements. In this way...
Genetic diversity, genetic structure, and gene flow in plant populations and their influencing factors are important in conservation biology. Cypripedium macranthos is one of the few wild orchids with high ornamental value in northern China. However, over the past decade, excessive collection, trading...
Flow chart of Pt EST sequence analysis. Gene prediction in the P. triticina EST sequences was done by the EST version of the GeneMarkS program [25]. The initial 2nd order model of protein coding regions were derived automatically; then from the set of predicted genes we selected a reduced...
Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is beneficial to a cell if the acquired gene confers a useful function, but is detrimental if the gene has no function, if it is incompatible with existing genes, or if it is a selfishly replicating mobile element. If the b
In the past 40 years, there has been increasing acceptance that variation in levels of gene expression represents a major source of evolutionary novelty. Gene expression divergence is therefore likely to be involved in the emergence of incipient species,
