Yeasts illustrate the molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic genome evolution

DUJON, B·2006·Trends in Genetics

Abstract

Hemiascomycetous yeasts have the greatest number of sequenced species for a single phylum, and are at the forefront of evolutionary genomics of eukaryotes. Yeast genomes show the dynamic interplay between the formation and loss of genes and help to characterize the mechanisms involved and their functional and evolutionary consequences. These mechanisms have equivalents in the genomes of multicellular organisms. Yeast genomes show extensive loss of introns and a reduced role of transposable elements, and so probably have a more limited potential to form novel genes and functions than multicellular organisms, possibly explaining their conserved biological and morphological properties despite their considerable evolutionary range.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Microbial metabolic networks often provide appropriate functions at a minimal size, and their complexity seems to be correlated with environmental factors.

    “Microbial metabolic networks often provide appropriate functions at a minimal size [134] and furthermore, their complexity seems to be correlated with environmental factors [135].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
