Origins, evolution, and phenotypic impact of new genesHenrik Kaessmann
Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, CH 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland
Genome Res 20:1313-26. 2010..Consequently, it is now firmly established that new genes have indeed been major contributors to the origin of adaptive evolutionary novelties...
Mitochondrial targeting adaptation of the hominoid-specific glutamate dehydrogenase driven by positive Darwinian selectionLia Rosso
Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
PLoS Genet 4:e1000150. 2008..We suggest that rapid, selectively driven subcellular adaptation, as exemplified by GLUD2, represents a common route underlying the emergence of new gene functions...
Segmental copy number variation shapes tissue transcriptomesCharlotte N Henrichsen
The Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
Nat Genet 41:424-9. 2009..Dosage alterations of brain-expressed genes are less frequent than those of other genes and are buffered by tighter transcriptional regulation. Our study provides initial evidence that CNVs shape tissue transcriptomes on a global scale...
Chromosomal gene movements reflect the recent origin and biology of therian sex chromosomesLukasz Potrzebowski

Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
PLoS Biol 6:e140. 2008..CDC14Bretro evolution represents a paradigm example of rapid, selectively driven subcellular relocalization, thus revealing a novel mode for the emergence of new gene function...
Evolutionary simulations to detect functional lineage-specific genesIsabelle Dupanloup

Functional diversification of duplicate genes through subcellular adaptation of encoded proteinsAna C Marques
Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, CH 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland
Genome Biol 9:R54. 2008..Here, using yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a model organism, we investigate a previously little considered mode for the functional diversification of duplicate genes: subcellular adaptation of encoded proteins...
The emergence of new genes on the young therian XLukasz Potrzebowski
Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Genopode Building, CH 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland
Trends Genet 26:1-4. 2010..Taken together, our observations suggest that the major sex-related functional remodeling of the X was completed relatively soon after the origination of therian sex chromosomes...
Evolutionary fate of retroposed gene copies in the human genomeNicolas Vinckenbosch
Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, , Switzerland
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:3220-5. 2006..Our results demonstrate that natural selection has been fundamental in shaping the retrocopy repertoire of the human genome...

Patterns of evolution of host proteins involved in retroviral pathogenesisMillan Ortiz
Institute of Microbiology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
Retrovirology 3:11. 2006..The strong sequence conservation of the TRIM19/PML sequences among primates suggests that this gene does not play a role in antiretroviral defense...

Birth and adaptive evolution of a hominoid gene that supports high neurotransmitter fluxFabien Burki
Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, BEP, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland
Nat Genet 36:1061-3. 2004..The amino acid changes responsible for the unique brain-specific properties of the enzyme derived from GLUD2 occurred during a period of positive selection after the duplication event...
Mating system and avpr1a promoter variation in primatesLia Rosso
Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Genopode, Lausanne, Switzerland
Biol Lett 4:375-8. 2008..We suggest that such non-repetitive variation, either in indels or in sequence variation, are likely to be important in explaining interspecific variation in avpr1a expression...
