Abstract: Geraniaceae organelle genomes have been shown to exhibit several highly unusual features compared to most other photosynthetic angiosperms. This includes massively rearranged plastomes with considerable size variation, extensive gene and intron loss, accelerated rates of… read more here.

Abstract: The hatcing enzyme gene (HE) encodes a protease that is indispensable for the hatching process and is conserved during vertebrate evolution. During teleostean evolution, it is known that HE experienced a drastic transfiguration of gene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.12605
Abstract: Although hypotheses have been proposed and developed to interpret the origins and functions of introns, substantial controversies remain about the mechanism of intron evolution. The availability of introns in the intermediate state is quite helpful… read more here.
