Background: The bacterium Salmonella enterica includes a diversity of serotypes that cause disease in humans and different animal species. Some Salmonella serotypes show a broad host range, some are host restricted and exclusively associated with one particular host, and some are associated with one particular host species, but able to cause disease in other host species and are thus considered "host adapted". Five Salmonella genome sequences, representing a broad host range serotype (Typhimurium), two host restricted serotypes (Typhi [two genomes] and Paratyphi) and one host adapted serotype (Choleraesuis) were used to identify core genome genes that show evidence for recombination and positive selection.

Evolution of Neuronal and Endothelial Transcriptomes in Primates

The study of gene expression evolution in vertebrates has hitherto focused on the analysis of transcriptomes in tissues of different species. However, because a tissue is made up of different cell types, and cell types differ with respect to their transcriptomes, the analysis of tissues offers a composite picture of transcriptome evolution. The isolation of individual cells from tissue sections opens up the opportunity to study gene expression evolution at the cell type level. We have stained neurons and en...
CLADISTIC TESTS OF MONOPHYLY AND RELATIONSHIPS OF BIOSTRATIGRAPHICALLY SIGNIFICANT CONODONTS USING MULTIELEMENT SKELETAL DATA - LOCHRIEA HOMOPUNCTATUS AND THE GENUS LOCHRIEA
Atakul-Oezdemir, Ayse; Purnell, Mark A.; Riley, Nicholas J. (Wiley, 2012-11-01)
Since the 1960s, huge progress has been made in reconstructing the multielement skeletons of conodont species and developing a biologically defensible taxonomy. Nevertheless, a widespread prejudice remains that certain parts of the conodont skeleton, particularly the P-1 elements, are more informative than others with regard to taxonomy and evolutionary relationships. Here, we test these views. A new partial multielement reconstruction of the skeleton of the biostratigraphically significant conodont origina...
Exceptional maternal lineage diversity in brown bears (Ursus arctos) from Turkey
Cilingir, F. Gozde; Peksen, Cigdem Akin; Ambarli, Huseyin; Beerli, Peter; Bilgin, Cemal Can (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-02-01)
The genetic diversity and phylogeography of maternal lineages in Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758 (the brown bear) have been studied extensively over the last two decades; however, sampling has largely been limited to the northern Holarctic, and was possibly biased towards lineages that recolonized the vast expanses of the north as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ended. Here we report the genetic diversity and phylogeography of U.arctos from Turkey based on 35 non-invasive samples, including five from captive ind...
Early gene expression divergence between allopatric populations of the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus)
Bryk, Jaroslaw; Somel, Mehmet; Lorenc, Anna; Teschke, Meike (Wiley, 2013-03-01)
Divergence of gene expression is known to contribute to the differentiation and separation of populations and species, although the dynamics of this process in early stages of population divergence remains unclear. We analyzed gene expression differences in three organs (brain, liver, and testis) between two natural populations of Mus musculus domesticus that have been separated for at most 3000years. We used two different microarray platforms to corroborate the results at a large scale and identified hundr...
Impact of biased sex ratio on the genetic diversity, structure, and differentiation of Populus nigra (European black poplar)
Yelmen, Burak; Değirmenci, Funda Ö.; Kaya, Zeki (Canadian Science Publishing, 2020-10-01)
Effective population size is a crucial concept of conservation biology. It is reduced by biased sex ratio, consequently causing loss of genetic variation. To evaluate genetic diversity related to gender, and investigate the possible effects of biased sex ratio, we analyzed available microsatellite DNA markers from 120 samples of Populus nigra L. (European black poplar) originating from five geographical regions in Turkey. Using 12 microsatellite markers, we detected 60 clones of the same genotype, out of 12...
