    James J Cai
    Department of Biology, Stanford University, USA
    Genome Biol Evol 2:393-409. 2010
    ..Collectively, these results provide strong evidence that younger genes are subject to weaker purifying selection and more tenuous evidence that they also undergo adaptive evolution more frequently...

    James J Cai
    Department of Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA
    PLoS Genet 5:e1000336. 2009
    ..These findings suggest that the effects of natural selection at linked sites cannot be ignored in the study of neutral human polymorphism...
  5. ncbi Similarly strong purifying selection acts on human disease genes of all evolutionary ages
    James J Cai
    Department of Biology, Stanford University
    Genome Biol Evol 2009:131-44. 2009
    ..Young human genes that have been evolving under strong constraint between humans and chimps might also be enriched for genes that encode important primate or even human-specific functions...

    James J Cai
    Department of Microbiology, University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, China
    BMC Bioinformatics 6:64. 2005
    ..However, few functions are freely available in MATLAB to perform the sequence data analyses specifically required for molecular biology and evolution...

    James J Cai
    Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Hong Kong, University Pathology Building, Queen Mary Hospital, 102 Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong SAR, China
    J Mol Evol 63:1-11. 2006

    Lan Lin
    Department of Internal Medicine, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA
    PLoS Genet 4:e1000225. 2008
    ..Our results imply that some Alu exonization events may have acquired adaptive benefits during the evolution of primate transcriptomes...
