Evolution of genome architecture.
229
TL;DR: Comparisons of hundreds of genome sequences from all walks of life suggest that the dominant mode of genome evolution is quite different from that of the phenotypic evolution, and leads to the conclusion that the genome architecture is not a straightforward result of continuous adaptation but rather is determined by the balance between the selection pressure.

Island demographics and trait associations in white-tailed deer
Brooklyn S. Cars,Camille Kessler,Eric A. Hoffman,Steeve D. Côté,Daniel Koelsch,Aaron B. A. Shafer +5 more
TL;DR: A mixed approach of linking ROHs, fixed SNPs and haplotypes matched a high number (∼50) of a-priori body size candidate genes in Key deer, noting all three phenotypes show patterns consistent with a complex trait and non-Mendelian inheritance.
Multiple Barriers to the Evolution of Alternative Gene Orders in a Positive-Strand RNA Virus.
Anouk Willemsen,Mark P. Zwart,Nicolas Tromas,Eszter Majer,José-Antonio Daròs,Santiago F. Elena +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that all steps along plausible evolutionary trajectories to alternative gene orders are highly unlikely, suggesting that the inaccessibility of these trajectories probably contributes to the conservation of gene order in present-day viruses.
Evolution of microbes and viruses: a paradigm shift in evolutionary biology?
Eugene V. Koonin,Yuri I. Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: For example, this article showed that pervasive horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in large part mediated by viruses and plasmids shapes the genomes of archaea and bacteria and calls for a radical revision (if not abandonment) of the Tree of Life concept.
Mitochondria and the Rise of Eukaryotes
TL;DR: This paradoxically defined group of amitochondriate eukaryotes has resulted in a spate of publications that have significantly changed the perception of the role of mitochondria in overall cellular metabolism and that have important ramifications for the understanding of the origin of eukARYotic life.
Computational Modelling of Chromosomally Clustering Protein Domains in Bacteria.
Cotroneo Chiara E.,Gormley Isobel Claire,Shields Denis C.,Salter-Townshend Michael +3 more
TL;DR: Researchers developed a probabilistic model to identify chromosomally clustered protein domains in bacteria and archaea, finding stable parameters across 14,178 strains, except for endosymbionts and obligate intracellular pathogens, which exhibit distinct clustering patterns.

Genetic regulatory mechanisms in the synthesis of proteins.
François Jacob,Jacques Monod +1 more
TL;DR: The synthesis of enzymes in bacteria follows a double genetic control, which appears to operate directly at the level of the synthesis by the gene of a shortlived intermediate, or messenger, which becomes associated with the ribosomes where protein synthesis takes place.

A genomic perspective on protein families
TL;DR: Comparison of proteins encoded in seven complete genomes from five major phylogenetic lineages and elucidation of consistent patterns of sequence similarities allowed the delineation of 720 clusters of orthologous groups (COGs), which comprise a framework for functional and evolutionary genome analysis.

TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.

TL;DR: A draft genome sequence of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus, provides a new perspective on vertebrate genome evolution, while also improving the annotation of mammalian genomes.
Chromosome territories, nuclear architecture and gene regulation in mammalian cells.
TL;DR: The emerging view is that chromosomes are compartmentalized into discrete territories and the location of a gene within a chromosome territory seems to influence its access to the machinery responsible for specific nuclear functions, such as transcription and splicing.
