abstract = {BACKGROUND: Attempts over the last three decades to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of the Anopheles gambiae species complex have been important for developing better strategies to control malaria transmission. METHODOLOGY: We used fingerprint genotyping data from 414 field-collected female mosquitoes at 42 microsatellite loci to infer the evolutionary relationships of four species in the A. gambiae complex, the two major malaria vectors A. gambiae sensu stricto (A. gambiae s.s.) and A. arabiensis, as well as two minor vectors, A. merus and A. melas. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We identify six taxonomic units, including a clear separation of West and East Africa A. gambiae s.s. S molecular forms. We show that the phylogenetic relationships vary widely between different genomic regions, thus demonstrating the mosaic nature of the genome of these species. The two major malaria vectors are closely related and closer to A. merus than to A. melas at the genome-wide level, which is also true if only autosomes are considered. However, within the Xag inversion region of the X chromosome, the M and two S molecular forms are most similar to A. merus. Near the X centromere, outside the Xag region, the two S forms are highly dissimilar to the other taxa. Furthermore, our data suggest that the centromeric region of chromosome 3 is a strong discriminator between the major and minor malaria vectors. CONCLUSIONS: Although further studies are needed to elucidate the basis of the phylogenetic variation among the different regions of the genome, the preponderance of sympatric admixtures among taxa strongly favor introgression of different genomic regions between species, rather than lineage sorting of ancestral polymorphism, as a possible mechanism.},

abstract = {Identifying the mechanisms of eukaryotic genome evolution by comparative genomics is often complicated by the multiplicity of events that have taken place throughout the history of individual lineages, leaving only distorted and superimposed traces in the genome of each living organism. The hemiascomycete yeasts, with their compact genomes, similar lifestyle and distinct sexual and physiological properties, provide a unique opportunity to explore such mechanisms. We present here the complete, assembled genome sequences of four yeast species, selected to represent a broad evolutionary range within a single eukaryotic phylum, that after analysis proved to be molecularly as diverse as the entire phylum of chordates. A total of approximately 24,200 novel genes were identified, the translation products of which were classified together with Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins into about 4,700 families, forming the basis for interspecific comparisons. Analysis of chromosome maps and genome redundancies reveal that the different yeast lineages have evolved through a marked interplay between several distinct molecular mechanisms, including tandem gene repeat formation, segmental duplication, a massive genome duplication and extensive gene loss.},

abstract = {Members of the ADAM superfamily of metalloprotease genes are involved in a number of biological processes, including fertilization, neurogenesis, muscle development, and the immune response. These proteins have been classified into several groups. The prototypic ADAM family is comprised of a pro-domain, a metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin domain, a cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a variable cytoplasmic tail. We recently identified a novel member of this superfamily, ADAMDEC1 (decysin). Due to the partial lack of a disintegrin domain and the total lack of a cysteine-rich domain, this protein has been placed in a novel subclass of the ADAM gene family. We have investigated the gene structure of the human and mouse ADAMDEC1 and have revealed a metalloprotease gene cluster on human Chromosome 8p12 comprising ADAMDEC1, ADAM7, and ADAM28. Our results suggest that ADAMDEC1 has arisen by partial gene duplication from an ancestral gene at this locus and has acquired a novel function. ADAMDEC1 is expressed in the immune system, by dendritic cells and macrophages. The relatedness of ADAMDEC1, ADAM7, and ADAM28 suggests that these proteases share a similar function.},
