Natural selection shapes genome-wide patterns of copy-number polymorphism in Drosophila melanogasterJ J Emerson
Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Science 320:1629-31. 2008..Among duplications, those overlapping exons or introns, as well as those falling on the X chromosome, seem to be subject to stronger purifying selection...
Extensive gene traffic on the mammalian X chromosomeJ J Emerson
Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Science 303:537-40. 2004..Such export is incompatible with mutational bias and is likely driven by natural selection to attain male germline function. However, the excess recruitment is consistent with a combination of both natural selection and mutational bias...
Evolutionary genomics: codon volatility does not detect selectionYing Chen
Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA

Models and data on plant-enemy coevolutionJ Bergelson
Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Annu Rev Genet 35:469-99. 2001..What is needed are models that are more closely tailored to particular plant-enemy interactions, as well as experiments that are expressly designed to test existing models...
Nucleotide variation and recombination along the fourth chromosome in Drosophila simulansWen Wang
Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Genetics 166:1783-94. 2004..melanogaster. Finally, estimates of the recombination parameters are shown to support a crossover-plus-conversion model...
Sex chromosomes and male functions: where do new genes go?ESTHER BETRAN
Department of Biology, University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas, USA
Cell Cycle 3:873-5. 2004..As a result, future work elucidating sex chromosome differentiation by other mutational mechanisms will shed light on this important process...
Sequence and comparative analysis of the chicken genome provide unique perspectives on vertebrate evolutionLadeana W Hillier
Genome Sequencing Center, Washington University School of Medicine, Campus Box 8501, 4444 Forest Park Avenue, St Louis, Missouri 63108, USA
Nature 432:695-716. 2004..The distinctive properties of avian microchromosomes, together with the inferred patterns of conserved synteny, provide additional insights into vertebrate chromosome architecture...
