The genetics of phenotypic innovation
Hubertus J. E. Beaumont,Stefanie M. Gehrig,Rees Kassen,Christopher Knight,Jacob G. Malone,Andrew J. Spiers,Paul B. Rainey +6 more
- 01 Jan 2006
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the majority of phenotypic and ecological diversity on the planet has arisen during successive adaptive radiations, that is, periods in which a single lineage diverges rapidly to generate multiple niche-specialist types.

In vivo transcriptome analysis provides insights into host-dependent expression of virulence factors by Yersinia entomophaga MH96, during infection of Galleria mellonella
Amber Rose Paulson,Amber Rose Paulson,Amber Rose Paulson,Maureen O'Callaghan,Xue-Xian Zhang,Paul B. Rainey,Paul B. Rainey,Paul B. Rainey,Mark R. H. Hurst +8 more
TL;DR: The in vivo transcriptome of the entomopathogenic bacterium Yersinia entomophaga MH96 is reported, captured during three stages of intrahemocoelic infection in Galleria mellonella, and revealed expression of genes encoding type III and VI secretion system-associated effectors.
The ecological genetics of Pseudomonas syringae residing on the kiwifruit leaf surface
Christina Straub,Elena Colombi,Li Li,Hongwen Huang,Matthew D. Templeton,Honour C. McCann,Paul B. Rainey +6 more
TL;DR: The population structure and genetic diversity of a broad range of co-occurring Pseudomonas syringae isolated from infected and uninfected kiwifruit during an outbreak of bleeding canker disease caused by P. actinidiae in New Zealand reveals a clonal population structure.
Transposable elements drive the evolution of genome streamlining
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an in-silico model describing the genomes of single-celled asexual organisms that co-evolve with transposable elements (TEs) acquired from the environment by horizontal gene transfer.
Adaptive evolution by spontaneous domain fusion and protein relocalisation
Andrew D Farr,Paul B. Rainey +1 more
TL;DR: A set of nine independent deletion mutations that arose during the course of selection experiments with the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens in which the membrane-spanning domain of a fatty acid desaturase became translationally fused to a cytosolic di-guanylate cyclase generating an adaptive phenotype are described.
