Candida glabrata is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that ranks as the second most common cause of systemic candidiasis. Despite its genus name, this yeast is more closely related to the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae than to other Candida pathogens, and hence its ability to infect humans is thought to have emerged independently. Moreover, C. glabrata has all the necessary genes to undergo a...
Background Metazoans transcribe many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that are poorly conserved and whose function remains unknown. This has raised the questions of what fraction of the predicted lncRNAs is actually functional, and whether selection can effectively constrain lncRNAs in species with small effective population sizes such as human populations. Results Here we evaluate signatures of selection...
Recombination plays an important role in species adaptation since it acts as an evolutionary force that can influence genome pattern organization. However, recombination can be detrimental in some situations, causing the breakdown of some adaptive gene combinations such as coadapted gene complexes. Genetic and cytological chromosome maps allow recombination throughout the genome to be analyzed. In...
