Gene duplication drives evolutionary innovation through neofunctionalization, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we uncover how a conserved mitochondrial enzyme acquires ...
The discovery of calcarin proteins in calcareous sponges highlights gene duplication and neofunctionalization as drivers of parallel biomineralization. Many animals – from corals to snails to humans – ...
A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...
This illustration shows how the membrane trafficking protein VAMP72 gradually changed during plant evolution to give rise to VAMP727, which functions in transporting storage proteins to vacuoles. The ...
A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus, gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks to a bacterial gene picked up by an ancestor, ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...
Shawn Burgess spoke about the importance of applying genome assembly methods to fish genomics. Fish exhibit fascinating morphology and biological diversity, which present abundant opportunities for ...
Summary: Scientists have reprogrammed mouse cells into pluripotent stem cells using a gene from choanoflagellates, single-celled organisms related to animals. This breakthrough demonstrates that key ...
The study by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) explored the evolutionary history of two enzyme families, BAHD and SCPL acyltransferases, across 126 plant species SCPL genes have an ...
Working model of the trade-off between plant growth and drought tolerance mediated by OsbHLH59 in rice The intricate process of gene family evolution in higher organisms is achieved through ...
