DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00510-4
Abstract: The chloroplast genome evolves through the course of evolution. Various types of mutational events are found within the chloroplast genome, including insertions-deletions (InDels), substitutions, inversions, gene rearrangement, and pseudogenization of genes. The pseudogenization of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msab354
Abstract: Abstract Penguins (Sphenisciformes) are an iconic order of flightless, diving seabirds distributed across a large latitudinal range in the Southern Hemisphere. The extensive area over which penguins are endemic is likely to have fostered variation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msad104
Abstract: Convergent adaptation to the same environment by multiple lineages frequently involves rapid evolutionary change at the same genes, implicating these genes as important for environmental adaptation. Such adaptive molecular changes may yield either change or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12862-019-1390-7
Abstract: BackgroundThe C-C motif chemokine ligand 16 (CCL16) is a potent pro-inflammatory chemokine and a chemoattractant for monocytes and lymphocytes. In normal plasma, it is present at high concentrations and elicits its effects on cells by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0204322
Abstract: Background Pseudogenes are non-functional sequences in the genome with homologous sequences that are functional (i.e. genes). They are abundant in eukaryotes where they have been extensively investigated, while in prokaryotes they are significantly scarcer and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1020601
Abstract: Introduction Toll like receptors (TLRs) are at the front line of pathogen recognition and host immune response. Many TLR genes have been described to date with some being found across metazoans while others are restricted… read more here.
