Chromosomal changes associated with changes in development.
In the past there has been a tendency to dwell on aspects of chromosomes which stress constancy of structure, number and content; even to the extent of dismissing exceptions as 'aberrations' or 'oddities'. It is now becoming clear that genomes can be quite plastic, and that structural changes to chromosomes are an important and often necessary part of normal differentiation and development. Eli...
متن کاملFitness consequences of spousal relatedness in 46 small-scale societies.
Social norms that regulate reproductive and marital decisions generate impressive cross-cultural variation in the prevalence of kin marriages. In some societies, marriages among kin are the norm and this inbreeding creates intensive kinship networks concentrated within communities. In others, especially forager societies, most marriages are between more genealogically and geographically distant...
متن کاملMultiple Phenotypic Changes Associated with Large-Scale Horizontal Gene Transfer
Horizontal gene transfer often leads to phenotypic changes within recipient organisms independent of any immediate evolutionary benefits. While secondary phenotypic effects of horizontal transfer (i.e., changes in growth rates) have been demonstrated and studied across a variety of systems using relatively small plasmids and phage, little is known about the magnitude or number of such costs aft...
متن کاملExtensive Phenotypic Changes Associated with Large-scale Horizontal Gene Transfer
! Horizontal gene transfer often leads to phenotypic changes within recipient organisms independent of any immediate evolutionary benefits. While secondary phenotypic effects of horizontal transfer (i.e. changes in growth rates) have been demonstrated and studied across a variety of systems using relatively small plasmid and phage, little is known about how size of the acquired region affects t...
متن کاملAntifungal resistance in pathogenic fungi.
Pathogenic fungi are the cause of life-threatening infections in an increasing number of immunocompromised patients. The intrinsic resistance to antifungal therapy observed in some genera, along with the development of resistance during treatment in others, is becoming a major problem in the management of these diseases. We reviewed the epidemiology of the most common systemic fungal infections...
