Buffering by gene duplicates: an analysis of molecular correlates and evolutionary conservation

Kevin Hannay, Edward M Marcotte, Christine Vogel BMC Genomics 2008, 9:609 (16 December 2008)

Gene duplication does contribute to the robustness of organisms against disruption of gene function but it appears to have a smaller effect than might be expected across a range of organisms, particularly in some eukaryotes.

Homoplasy in genome-wide analysis of rare amino acid replacements: the molecular-evolutionary basis for Vavilov's law of homologous series

Igor B Rogozin, Karen Thomson, Miklós Csürös, Liran Carmel, Eugene V Koonin Biology Direct 2008, 3:7 (17 March 2008)

Homoplasy denotes the same (parallel) mutations occurring independently in different lineages. It is a scourge of phylogenetic methods. Here, however, it is shown that homoplasy is also an interesting evolutionary phenomenon. Homplasy seems, at least, in part, to underlie the so-called homologous series of phenotypic variation occurring in different, particularly, closely related lineages, an effect first described by the famous Russian geneticict Vavilov some 90 years ago.

Comparative analysis indicates regulatory neofunctionalization of yeast duplicates

Itay Tirosh, Naama Barkai Genome Biology 2007, 8:R50 (5 April 2007)

Comparison of the expression profiles of S. cerevisiae duplicate pairs with that of their pre-duplication orthologs in C. albicans identified a class of genes that may present cases of regulatory neofunctionalization.

Accurate, precise modeling of cell proliferation kinetics from time-lapse imaging and automated image analysis of agar yeast culture arrays

Najaf A Shah, Richard J Laws, Bradley Wardman, Lue Zhao, John L Hartman BMC Systems Biology 2007, 1:3 (8 January 2007)

Automated image analysis of yeast on agar culture arrays provides accurate data on yeast culture biomass, allowing robust quantitative modeling of yeast cell proliferation.
