The importance of gene duplication in developmental body plan evolution is well-established, but for many megadiverse clades such as true flies (Diptera), a comprehensive understanding is still just e
This study used two different NimbleGen platforms to identify canine CNVs. The first identifies genome-wide CNVs while the second genotypes all known canine CNVs in a large panel of dogs from multiple
BackgroundThe Zingiberaceae (ginger family) comprises economically and medicinally important plants, yet mitochondrial genome evolution within this family remains poorly understood. Curcuma longa and
Botryosphaeriaceae, as a major family of the largest class of kingdom fungi Dothideomycetes, encompasses phytopathogens, saprobes, and endophytes. Many members of this family are opportunistic phytopa
Molecular cloning of the vasotocin gene of a cyclostome, the Pacific hagfish Eptatretus stouti, reveals, in contrast to other known members of the vertebrate vasopressin/oxytocin hormone gene family,
