Whole-genome duplication (WGD) events have shaped the history of many evolutionary
lineages. One such duplication has been implicated in the evolution of teleost fishes, by far …

Genes are perpetually added to and deleted from genomes during evolution. Thus, it is
important to understand how new genes are formed and how they evolve to be critical …

INTRODUCTION How novel protein architectures evolve remains poorly understood. The
rearrangement of domains with preexisting functions into new composite architectures …

By natural selection, organisms evolve different solutions to cope with extremely cold
weather. The emergence of an antifreeze protein gene is one of the most momentous …

Halophytes are plants that can naturally tolerate high concentrations of salt in the soil, and
their tolerance to salt stress may occur through various evolutionary and molecular …

Aquaculture has been believed to be a major Chinese contribution to the world. In recent 20
years, genome and other genetic technologies have promoted significant advances in basic …

Gene duplications are believed to facilitate evolutionary innovation. However, the
mechanisms shaping the fate of duplicated genes remain heavily debated because the …

Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) assist in subzero tolerance of multiple cold-tolerant organisms:
animals, plants, fungi, bacteria etc. IBPs include:(1) antifreeze proteins (AFPs) with high …

The role of symbiosis in bacterial symbiont genome evolution is well understood, yet the
ways that symbiosis shapes host genomes or more particularly, host/symbiont genome …

How the enormous structural and functional diversity of new genes and proteins was
generated (estimated to be 1010–1012 different proteins in all organisms on earth [Choi IG …
