DOI: 10.1002/bies.202200023
Abstract: Homologous centromeres compete for segregation to the secondary oocyte nucleus at female meiosis I. Centromeric repeats also compete with each other to populate centromeres in mitotic cells of the germline and have become adapted to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00251-017-0980-z
Abstract: The butyrophilin 3 (BTN3) receptors are implicated in the T lymphocytes regulation and present a wide plasticity in mammals. In order to understand how these genes have been diversified, we studied their evolution and show… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2019.107117
Abstract: Previous studies of the Internal Transcribed Spacers of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS) in sections Quercus (white oaks), Protobalanus (intermediate or golden cup oaks), Cerris (Cerris oaks), and Ilex (Ilex oaks) suggest that ITS regions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-60425-4
Abstract: Concerted evolution is often observed in multigene families such as the CEA gene family. As a result, sequence similarity of paralogous genes is significantly higher than expected from their evolutionary distance. Gene conversion, a “copy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2205564119
Abstract: Significance Coevolution between females and males has led to remarkable differences between the sexes but has taken very different routes, even in closely related animal species, for reasons that are not well understood. We studied… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msz229
Abstract: Abstract Ribosomal protein (RP) genes encode structural components of ribosomes, the cellular machinery for protein synthesis. A single functional copy has been maintained in most of 78–80 RP families in animals due to evolutionary constraints… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14511
Abstract: Heat‐shock (HS) assays to understand the connection between standing inversion variation and evolutionary response to climate change in Drosophila subobscura found that “warm‐climate” inversion O3+4 exhibits non‐HS levels of Hsp70 protein like those of “cold‐climate”… read more here.

Extensive nrDNA ITS polymorphism in Lycium: Non-concerted evolution and the identification of pseudogenes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Plant Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.984579
Abstract: The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) is one of the most extensively sequenced molecular markers in plant systematics due to its generally concerted evolution. While non-concerted evolution has been found in some plant taxa, such information… read more here.
