概括

的生长激素 (GH) 基因位置异常复杂,通过基因重复和进化而扩大. 这种复杂性在一些物种中继续存在,有证据表明积极选择表明了适应性变化.

科学领域:

基因组学就是基因组学.
进化生物学进化生物学
灵长类动物遗传学

背景情况:

高级灵长类动物表现出复杂的生长激素 (GH) 基因位点,与其他哺乳动物不同.
这个位置包括多个由重复和分离进化产生的GH类基因,在垂体和胎盘中表达.

研究的目的:

研究中GH基因位点的性质和演变.
了解这个灵长类属内的扩张和正在进行的进化过程.

主要方法:

分析了各种物种的基因组数据,包括 Macaca fascicularis 和 Macaca mulatta.
在 Macaca fascicularis 的垂体和胎盘中检查类似GH的基因表达.
对序列变化率和替代分布的评估,以确定积极选择.

主要成果:

的GH基因群是高度可变的,在 Macaca fascicularis 中发现了 11 到 14 个类似GH的基因,在 Macaca mulatta 中观察到基因数异构性.
在其他物种中,GH基因集群在8至14个基因之间,没有检测到异构性.
在至少一个GH类基因 (GH2) 中发现了积极选择的证据,表明了适应性的生物变化.

Exon Recombination

Exon Recombination

The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes.
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

Gene Duplication and Divergence

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...

Synteny and Evolution

Synteny and Evolution

John H. Renwick first coined the term “synteny” in 1971, which refers to the genes present on the same chromosomes, even if they are not genetically linked. The species with common ancestry tend to show conserved syntenic regions. Therefore, the concept of synteny is nowadays used to describe the evolutionary relationship between species.
Around 80 million years ago, the human and mice lineages diverged from the common ancestor. During the course of evolution, the ancestral...

Eukaryotic Evolution

Eukaryotic Evolution

The endosymbiont theory is the most widely accepted theory of eukaryotic evolution; however, its progression is still somewhat debated. According to the nucleus-first hypothesis, the ancestral prokaryote first evolved a membrane to enclose DNA and form the nucleus. Conversely, the mitochondria-first hypothesis suggests that the nucleus was formed after endosymbiosis of mitochondria.
Contrary to the endosymbiont theory, the eukaryote-first hypothesis proposes that the simpler prokaryotic and...
