Loss of Chloroplast trnLUAA Intron in Two Species of Hedysarum (Fabaceae): Evolutionary Implications
Previous studies have indicated that in all land plants examined to date, the chloroplast gene trnLUAA isinterrupted by a single group I intron ranging from 250 to over 1400 bp. The parasitic Epifagus virginiana haslost, however, the entire gene. We report that the intron is missing from the chloroplast genome of twoarctic species of the legume genus Hedysarum (H. alpinum, H. ...
متن کاملPrevalence of intron gain over intron loss in the evolution of paralogous gene families.
The mechanisms and evolutionary dynamics of intron insertion and loss in eukaryotic genes remain poorly understood. Reconstruction of parsimonious scenarios of gene structure evolution in paralogous gene families in animals and plants revealed numerous gains and losses of introns. In all analyzed lineages, the number of acquired new introns was substantially greater than the number of lost ance...
متن کاملPatterns of Intron Gain and Loss in Fungi
Little is known about the patterns of intron gain and loss or the relative contributions of these two processes to gene evolution. To investigate the dynamics of intron evolution, we analyzed orthologous genes from four filamentous fungal genomes and determined the pattern of intron conservation. We developed a probabilistic model to estimate the most likely rates of intron gain and loss giving...
متن کاملMystery of intron gain.
For nearly 15 years, it has been widely believed that many introns were recently acquired by the genes of multicellular organisms. However, the mechanism of acquisition has yet to be described for a single animal intron. Here, we report a large-scale computational analysis of the human, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Arabidopsis thaliana genomes. We divided 147,796 human i...
متن کاملLarge-scale comparison of intron positions in mammalian genes shows intron loss but no gain.
We compared intron-exon structures in 1,560 human-mouse orthologs and 360 mouse-rat orthologs. The origin of differences in intron positions between species was inferred by comparison with an outgroup, Fugu for human-mouse and human for mouse-rat. Among 10,020 intron positions in the human-mouse comparison, we found unequivocal evidence for five independent intron losses in the mouse lineage bu...
