Genome Evolution

J.F.Y. Brookfield · 2003

Abstract Our understanding of the forces that have shaped the evolution of genome organization is still largely rudimentary. The process of genome evolution is, in some ways, different in kind from those more typically studied by population and evolutionary geneticists. Firstly, forces of selection that operate at levels different from the individual may be important, as in the spread of selfish intragenomic parasites, and in the impact of changes in genome organization on the ability of evolutionary lineages to proliferate and diversify. Secondly, alternative genotypes are often not allelic, such that the process of evolutionary change is not necessarily ended by the spread to fixation of a new genetic type. However, some progress can be made in understanding genome evolution. A number of the most controversial issues in genome evolution, such as the evolution of codon bias, the antiquity of introns and the selfishness of mobile DNAs, are reviewed. In addition, the evolutionary forces affecting gene number, linkage between genes, gene expression, and the functional overlap between gene products are considered.

Genome Evolution

Jeffrey R. Powell · 1997

Abstract This is the first of two chapters that focus on how the genetic material, DNA, and its primary products (e.g., proteins) evolve. The subject is somewhat arbitrarily divided into two views. The “macro” view, which will be the subject of this chapter, considers issues such as the evolution of chromosome number, genome size, and organization of the genome. The “micro” level, the focus of the next chapter, is concerned with the specifics of DNA and protein evolution and the mechanisms involved. Although these two levels of analysis are really a continuum, there is some conceptual justification for separating them.

Nematode genome evolution

Avril Coghlan · WormBook · 2005

Nematodes are the most abundant type of animal on earth, and live in hot springs, polar ice, soil, fresh and salt water, and as parasites of plants, vertebrates, insects, and other nematodes. This extraordinary ability to adapt, which hints at an underlying genetic plasticity, has long fascinated biologists. The fully sequenced genomes of Caenorhabditis elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae, and ongoing sequencing projects for eight other nematodes, provide an exciting opportunity to investigate the genomic changes that have enabled nematodes to invade many different habitats. Analyses of the C. elegans and C. briggsae genomes suggest that these include major changes in gene content; as well as in chromosome number, structure and size. Here I discuss how the data set of ten genomes will be ideal for tackling questions about nematode evolution, as well as questions relevant to all eukaryotes.

Ciliate genome evolution

Casey McGrath, Rebecca A. Zufall, Laura A. Katz · 2006

Abstract The study of genome evolution in eukaryotic microbes such as ciliates can elucidate trends across the eukaryotic tree of life as well as unique, lineage-specific genome features. Ciliate genomes are unique among eukaryotes in that: (i) two distinct genomes exist in separate nuclei (the ‘‘somatic’’ macronucleus and ‘‘germline’’ micronucleus) within every cell; and (ii) macronuclear genomes undergo developmentally-regulated rearrangements, which can be extensive and lead to the generation of as many as 25 000 000 ‘‘chromosomes’’ in a single ciliate (reviewed in Klobutcher and Herrick 1997; Prescott 1994; Riley and Katz 2001). Ciliates have also been a rich source for the discovery of features found elsewhere across the tree of life, including the existence of self-splicing RNA (Kruger et al. 1982) and telomeres (Blackburn and Gall 1978). This Chapter reviews the basics of ciliate genomes and discusses the implications of genome processing on ciliate evolution.

Dinoflagellate Genome Evolution

Jennifer H. Wisecaver, Jeremiah D. Hackett · Annual Review of Microbiology · 2010

The dinoflagellates are an ecologically important group of microbial eukaryotes that have evolved many novel genomic characteristics. They possess some of the largest nuclear genomes among eukaryotes arranged on permanently condensed liquid-crystalline chromosomes. Recent advances have revealed the presence of genes arranged in tandem arrays, trans-splicing of messenger RNAs, and a reduced role for transcriptional regulation compared to other eukaryotes. In contrast, the mitochondrial and plastid genomes have the smallest gene content among functional eukaryotic organelles. Dinoflagellate biology and genome evolution have been dramatically influenced by lateral transfer of individual genes and large-scale transfer of genes through endosymbiosis. Next-generation sequencing technologies have only recently made genome-scale analyses of these organisms possible, and these new methods are helping researchers better understand the biology and evolution of this enigmatic group of eukaryotes.
