Abstract: While simple sugars such as monosaccharides and disaccharide are the typical carbon source for most yeasts, whether a species can grow on a particular sugar is generally a consequence of presence or absence of a… read more here.

Abstract: The rapid evolution of fertilization proteins can result in remarkable diversity in their structure and function. Many of the proteins in vertebrate egg coats contain copies (1-6) of the ZP-N domain. These ZP-N domains can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1007326
Abstract: Gene duplication facilitates functional diversification and provides greater phenotypic flexibility to an organism. Expanded gene families arise through repeated gene duplication but the extent of functional divergence that accompanies each paralogous gene is generally unexplored… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1008723
Abstract: Gene duplication and diversification drive the emergence of novel functions during evolution. Because of whole genome duplications, ciliates from the Paramecium aurelia group constitute a remarkable system to study the evolutionary fate of duplicated genes.… read more here.
