A Comparative Analysis of Synonymous Codon Usage Bias Pattern in Human Albumin Superfamily by Hoda Mirsafian, Adiratna Mat Ripen, Aarti Singh, Phaik Hwan Teo, Amir Feisal Merican, Saharuddin Bin Mohamad

“…Synonymous codon usage bias is an inevitable phenomenon in organismic taxa across the three domains of life. Though the frequency of codon usage is not equal across species and within genome in the same species, the phenomenon is non random and is tissue-specific. …”

New scolecodonts (polychaeta, annelida) from the Late Silurian of Yunnan, South China by Danxia Gao, Cen Shen, Liebin Huang, Liurunxuan Chen, Shitao Zhang, Yimin Tian, Yujing Li

“…However, they are commonly found in Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian strata. Here, we describe three species—Langeites aff. glaber, Langeites sp., and Oenonites spp. from the Miaogao Formation in Yiliang, Yunnan, South China. …”

An approximate likelihood method reveals ancient gene flow between human, chimpanzee and gorilla by Galtier, Nicolas

“…Distinguishing between the two processes is a key objective of current evolutionary genomics. This is most often pursued via the so-called ABBA-BABA type of method, which relies on a prediction of symmetry of gene tree discordance made by the incomplete lineage sorting hypothesis. …”

A genomic survey of positive selection in Burkholderia pseudomallei provides insights into the evolution of accidental virulence. by Tannistha Nandi, Catherine Ong, Arvind Pratap Singh, Justin Boddey, Timothy Atkins, Mitali Sarkar-Tyson, Angela E Essex-Lopresti, Hui Hoon Chua, Talima Pearson, Jason F Kreisberg, Christina Nilsson, Pramila Ariyaratne, Catherine Ronning, Liliana Losada, Yijun Ruan, Wing-Kin Sung, Donald Woods, Richard W Titball, Ifor Beacham, Ian Peak, Paul Keim, William C Nierman, Patrick Tan

“…We found evidence for the existence of several new genes in the Bp reference genome, identifying 282 novel genes supported by at least two independent lines of supporting evidence (mRNA transcripts, database homologs, and presence of ribosomal binding sites) and 81 novel genes supported by all three lines. Within the Bp core genome, 211 genes exhibited significant levels of positive selection (4.5%), distributed across many cellular pathways including carbohydrate and secondary metabolism. …”
