Convergent evolution of polyploid genomes from across the eukaryotic tree of life
Hao, Y., Fleming, J., Petterson, J., Lyons, E., Edger, P. P., Pires, J. C., … Conant, G. C. (2022, May 10). G3-GENES GENOMES GENETICS, Vol. 5.
author keywords: polyploidy; convergent evolution; reciprocal gene loss; evolutionary model
MeSH headings : Diploidy; Eukaryota; Evolution, Molecular; Humans; Phylogeny; Polyploidy
TL;DR:
By modeling the homoeologous gene losses that occurred in 50 genomes deriving from ten distinct polyploidy events, it is shown that the evolutionary forces acting on polyploids are remarkably similar, regardless of whether they occur in flowering plants, ciliates, fishes, or yeasts.

Hybridization order is not the driving factor behind biases in duplicate gene losses among the hexaploid Solanaceae
author keywords: Solanaceae; polyploidy; biased fractionation; hexaploidy; repetitive elements
MeSH headings : Genes, Duplicate; Polyploidy; Solanaceae / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Brassicaceae / genetics; Bias; Genome, Plant
TL;DR:
Whether the distribution of repetitive elements in these genomes can explain the biases in gene losses is explored, but while the signals found are broadly consistent with a role for high RE density in driving gene losses, the REs turn over so quickly that little signal of the RE condition at the time of paleopolyploidy is extant in the modern genomes.

MeSH headings : Phylogeny; Magnoliopsida / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Genome Size; Polyploidy; Genome, Plant; DNA Transposable Elements / genetics; Plants / genetics
TL;DR:
With new methods that allow for TE characterization from low-coverage genome shotgun data and 71 taxa across the Brassicales, the correlation between genome size and TE content is confirmed, however, it is unable to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and do not detect any shift in TE abundance associated with WGD.

A Single, Shared Triploidy in Three Species of Parasitic Nematodes
G3-GENES GENOMES GENETICS, 10(1), 225–233.
Contributors: A. Schoonmaker*, Y. Hao*, D. Bird* & n
author keywords: polyploidy; evolutionary model; root-knot nematode
MeSH headings : Animals; Evolution, Molecular; Genome, Helminth; Phylogeny; Triploidy; Tylenchoidea / classification; Tylenchoidea / genetics
TL;DR:
Three root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne descend from a single common hybridization event that yielded triplicated genomes with three distinguishable subgenomes, and ancestral loci where two of the three gene copies have been lost are less likely to have orthologs in Caenorhabditis elegans that are lethal when knocked down than are ancestral locu with surviving duplicate copies.

TL;DR:
A minimal SMN construct was designed consisting of exons 2, 3, and 6, which showed a partial rescue of the SMA phenotype, which suggests that while the core conserved region is essential, additional sequences contribute to the overall ability of the SMN protein to rescue disease pathology.

Evidence for interlocus gene conversion is found in five duplicated histone genes from six yeast species and it is speculated that in cases where duplicated genes code for proteins that are a part of tightly interacting complexes, selection may favor the fixation of gene conversion events in order to maintain high protein identities between duplicated copies.

Gene duplication and phenotypic changes in the evolution of mammalian metabolic networks
PLoS ONE, 9(1).
Contributors: M. Bekaert * & *
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Animals; Cluster Analysis; Gene Dosage; Gene Duplication; Genomics; Humans; Isoenzymes / chemistry; Mammals / genetics; Metabolic Networks and Pathways / genetics; Mice; Phenotype; Principal Component Analysis; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
This work infer enzyme orthology networks for sixteen mammals as well as for their common ancestors using a phylogenetically-aware comparative genomics approach, and finds that the pattern of isoenzymes copy-number alterations (CNAs) in these networks is suggestive of natural selection acting on the retention of certain gene duplications.

This work shows a general association between the degree to which yeast cells have evolved mechanisms to buffer changes in gene expression and whether they possess protein-protein interactions, and suggests that these observations can be best understood as resulting from the higher fitness cost of misexpression in epistatic genes and a commensurate greater regulatory control of them.

MeSH headings : Actins / genetics; Amino Acid Substitution / genetics; Amino Acids / chemistry; Amino Acids / genetics; Animals; Databases, Nucleic Acid; Evolution, Molecular; Hemoglobins / genetics; Humans; Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions; Isoelectric Point; Models, Genetic; Myosins / genetics; Phylogeny; Rhodopsin / genetics; Rod Opsins / genetics
TL;DR:
It is found that, although patterns of amino acid substitution vary temporally within the history of a gene, variation is not greater in paralogous than in orthologous genes, and improved understanding of such gene-specific variation in substitution patterns may have implications for applications such as sequence alignment and phylogenetic inference.

TL;DR:
A graph-based algorithm for combining multiple local alignments to a query sequence into the single combination of alignments that either covers the maximal portion of the query or results in the single highest alignment score to the query is proposed.

Molecular Evolution in Large Genetic Networks: Does Connectivity Equal Constraint?
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 58(2), 203–211.

TL;DR:
The finding that highly connected proteins can tolerate just as many amino acid substitutions as other proteins leads us to conclude that power-laws in cellular networks do not reflect selection for mutational robustness.
