Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

7.9K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift01:09

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

63.6K
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.6K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Centrosome Duplication02:25

Centrosome Duplication

4.9K
The primary microtubule organizing center (MTOC) in animal cells is the centrosome. A centrosome has two cylindrical centrioles at its core. Each centriole consists of nine sets of three microtubules held together by proteins. The centrioles are positioned at right angles to each other and surrounded by a shapeless protein cloud called the pericentriolar matrix, or pericentriolar material (PCM).
To ensure that each daughter cell receives a centrosome after cell division, centrosome duplication...

Duplication of Chromatin Structure02:05

Duplication of Chromatin Structure

7.3K
The process of chromosome duplication during cell division requires genome-wide disruption and re-assembly of chromatin. The chromatin structure must be accurately inherited, reassembled, and maintained in the daughter cells to ensure lineage propagation.
The basic unit of the chromatin is the nucleosome, consisting of DNA wrapped around octameric histone proteins and short stretches of linker DNA separating individual nucleosomes. The histone proteins within the nucleosome have their...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.5K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Area of Science:

  • Evolutionary biology
  • Genomics
  • Systems biology

Background:

  • Gene duplication is a key evolutionary mechanism, traditionally studied at the sequence level.
  • Emerging evidence highlights the role of regulatory element duplication in genomic evolution.
  • Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are complex systems where regulatory relationships are crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model the evolution of regulatory relationships within gene-specific substructures in GRNs.
  • To develop a method for discovering significant gene-family-specific substructures under gene duplication.
  • To analyze the impact of different duplication models (Full and Partial) on substructure evolution.

Main Methods:

  • A computational model simulating gene duplication and network growth.
  • Probabilistic retention of regulatory relationships during gene duplication.
  • Counting occurrences of gene-family-specific substructures (subnetwork motifs) under Full and Partial Duplication models.
  • Determination of moments for subnetwork motif occurrences.

Main Results:

  • The study quantifies occurrences of subnetwork motifs under different gene duplication scenarios.
  • Moments for the number of subnetwork motif occurrences were determined for each model.
  • The model provides a framework for analyzing the evolutionary impact of gene duplication on regulatory architecture.

Conclusions:

  • Gene duplication significantly shapes the evolution of regulatory relationships in GRNs.
  • The developed method can identify important gene-family-specific substructures within GRNs.
  • Understanding these substructures is crucial for comprehending biological complexity and diversity.
