Evolutionary Inferences on the Chromosomal Diversity of Anseriformes (Neognathae; Galloanseres) by Microsatellite Mapping by Paula Sabrina Bronze Campos, Benilson Silva Rodrigues, Anderson José Baia Gomes, Rodrigo Petry Corrêa de Sousa, Edivaldo Herculano Corrêa de Oliveira

“…Anseriformes represent a basal order in the phylogeny of neognath birds and are of particular interest in cytogenetic research due to their distinctive chromosomal features. However, aspects of their chromosomal evolution, such as the distribution and organization of microsatellite sequences, remain poorly understood. …”

PD-1 is conserved from sharks to humans: new insights into PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, and SHP-2 evolution by Ryohei Kondo, Kohei Kondo, Kei Nabeshima, Akihiko Nishikimi, Yasumasa Ishida, Toshiaki Shigeoka, Johannes M. Dijkstra

“…However, together with a very recent study dedicated to the CD28/CTLA4 molecule family, this study—using database information—identifies the PD-1 gene in both bony and cartilaginous fish, while being the first to present a detailed molecular analysis of the evolution of PD-1 and its ligands. Conserved sequence motifs imply an ancient origin of PD-1’s binding modes to its extracellular ligand PD-L1 and its intracellular ligand Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase-2 (SHP-2), and also of its N116 glycosylation motif—a less well known PD-1 feature—important for binding galectins. …”

Strong genome-wide selection early in the evolution of Prochlorococcus resulted in a reduced genome through the loss of a large number of small effect genes. by Zhiyi Sun, Jeffrey L Blanchard

“…A maximum likelihood approach was then used to estimate changes of nucleotide substitution rate and selection strength along Prochlorococcus evolution in a phylogenetic framework. Strong genome wide purifying selection was associated with the loss of many genes in the early evolutionary stage. …”
