The loss of previously established genes has been proposed as a major force in evolutionary change. While the sequencing of many new species offers the opportunity to identify case...
Gene duplication has long been recognized as a major force in genome evolution and has recently been recognized as an important source of individual variation. For many years the o...

Whether common ancestors of eukaryotes and prokaryotes had introns is one of the oldest unanswered questions in molecular evolution. Recently completed genome sequences have been u...
Abstract. Current approaches for identification and detection of transcription factor binding sites rely on an extensive set of known target genes. Here we describe a novel structu...
