Commentary for Development of the Circadian Clockwork in the Kidney: Molecular Origin of the Kidney Clock
Increasing evidence suggests that a functional circadian clock in the kidney contributes to the regulation of renal function including blood pressure and sodium balance. When does this kidney clock begin ticking? Meszaros et al. provide the first evidence that the endogenous molecular machinery of the circadian clock begins oscillating in the late fetal kidney. These findings have important imp...
متن کاملDating algal origin using molecular clock methods.
Algae and plants are the dominant primary producers on our planet and define an evolutionarily diverse group of taxa (Graham and Wilcox 2000). Despite their importance, dating algal origin is frustrated by a limited fossil record (Knoll 1992). Recent molecular phylogenetic trees place algae near the base of the eukaryotic tree of life (e.g., Baldauf et al. 2000, 2003; Nozaki et al. 2003). This ...
متن کاملThe origin and diversification of eukaryotes: problems with molecular phylogenetics and molecular clock estimation.
Determining the relationships among and divergence times for the major eukaryotic lineages remains one of the most important and controversial outstanding problems in evolutionary biology. The sequencing and phylogenetic analyses of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes led to the first nearly comprehensive phylogenies of eukaryotes in the late 1980s, and supported a view where cellular complexity was acq...
متن کاملLimitations of a molecular clock applied to considerations of the origin of HIV-1.
The evolutionary history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is unfolding even as we study it, a consequence of the underlying genetic variation by mutation (1), recombination (2, 3), and frequent insertions and deletions (4). Studies of the evolutionary history of HIV enable us to extrapolate into the past and make estimates of the age of the epidemic, as well as make predictions of the pote...
متن کاملVagaries of the molecular clock.
The hypothesis of the molecular evolutionary clock asserts that informational macromolecules (i.e., proteins and nucleic acids) evolve at rates that are constant through time and for different lineages. The clock hypothesis has been extremely powerful for determining evolutionary events of the remote past for which the fossil and other evidence is lacking or insufficient. I review the evolution...
