Acquisition of plasmids in the early group of bacilli, with some deficient in RD1, appears to be a faster mode to gain novel functions for diversification as exemplified by similar synonymous substitution frequencies for plasmid and chromosomal encoded genes in M. ulcerans [26].
To gain insight into this diversification process, we identified genes that were specific to the two individual clades, and conserved among the strains.
This WY-domain fold may be an adaptive structural unit that can support effector diversification to gain new functions and/or evade plant host immunity [ 39].
A value chain analysis is conducted to identify upgrading, that is, improvements in quality and product design that enable producers to gain enhanced value or through diversification in the product lines served.
An overview of the transcriptome differences among natural Brassica species would be interesting to gain initial knowledge on species diversification and polyploidization.
Here we use comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis to investigate the distribution of PARP genes across almost the entire breadth of eukaryotes, to reconstruct the evolutionary history of this protein family and to gain insights into its functional diversification.
To gain further insights into domain diversification, we searched for evolutionary conservation of specific protein domain architectures (fig. 3) and found that some architectures are highly conserved across lineages.
Here we use comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis to investigate the distribution of MCM DNA replication proteins across the eukaryotes, to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the Mcm2-9 proteins, and to gain insights into MCM functional diversification, in distantly related eukaryotic taxa and at the base of the eukaryotic tree of life.
Finally, we used the phylogeny of the clones to perform a comparative analysis of their flexible traits, in order to gain insight into the origin and diversification of reproductive flexibility (see Materials and Methods, section D).
Clarifying alternative mechanisms of speciation other than host switching is therefore needed to gain a full understanding of the diversification history of Galeommatoidea.
