Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?02:05

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.
Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...
Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

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 characterized.

Resumen

Los investigadores desafían un nuevo método para detectar la selección natural en un solo genoma. Su análisis sugiere que el método se basa en suposiciones erróneas, lo que hace que sus conclusiones sobre la evolución adaptativa sean poco confiables.

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología evolutiva Biología evolutiva.
  • La genómica es la genómica.
  • Genética de poblaciones genética de poblaciones.

Sus antecedentes:

  • Un nuevo método propuesto por Plotkin y sus colegas sugiere detectar la selección natural dentro de un solo genoma.
  • Este enfoque tiene como objetivo mejorar el poder analítico al reducir la necesidad de datos genómicos comparativos.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Evaluar críticamente los supuestos y conclusiones del método de detección de selección natural de un solo genoma.
  • Para determinar la validez de las inferencias con respecto a la selección natural adaptativa basada en este método.

Principales métodos:

  • Análisis teórico del método de detección de selección de un solo genoma propuesto.
  • Examen de los supuestos subyacentes y su potencial para confundir los resultados.

Principales resultados:

  • El estudio sostiene que las conclusiones del método se confunden con suposiciones no declaradas.
  • Se demuestra que incluso si los supuestos fueran válidos, las inferencias sobre la selección adaptativa no están justificadas.

Conclusiones:

  • El método de un solo genoma propuesto para detectar la selección natural es críticamente defectuoso.
  • Su dependencia de suposiciones cuestionables socava sus afirmaciones de detectar la evolución adaptativa sin datos comparativos.
