Review
Prokaryotic evolution and the tree of life are two different things Eric Bapteste, Maureen A O'Malley, Robert G Beiko, Marc Ereshefsky, J Peter Gogarten, Laura Franklin-Hall, François-Joseph Lapointe, John Dupré, Tal Dagan, Yan Boucher, William Martin Biology Direct 2009, 4:34 (29 September 2009) This article is part of a collection on Evolutionary Biology 150... From philosophical, scientific and epistemological perspectives, we argue that the tree of life can not successfully account for prokaryotic evolution, and we briefly set out alternative models to study their evolution.

Armen Y Mulkidjanian, Michael Y Galperin Biology Direct 2009, 4:27 (24 August 2009) The relatively high zinc content of living cells and its role as cofactor in many key enzymes and RNA structures might reflect the origin of life in zinc-rich environments.

Evolution of mosaic operons by horizontal gene transfer and gene displacement in situ Marina V Omelchenko, Kira S Makarova, Yuri I Wolf, Igor B Rogozin, Eugene V Koonin Genome Biology 2003, 4:R55 (29 August 2003) Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis have been used to examine horizontal transfer of entire operons versus displacement of individual genes within operons by horizontally acquired orthologs and independent assembly of the same or similar operons from genes with different phylogenetic affinities. |
