Molecular, Functional and Evolutionary Characterization of the Gene Encoding HMG-CoA Reductase in the Fission Yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe
(John Wiley & Sons, 1996)
The synthesis of mevalonate, a molecule required for both sterol and isoprene biosynthesis in eukaryotes, is catalysed by 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. Using a gene dosage approach, we have ...
Phylogenetically Informative Length Polymorphism and Sequence Variability in Mitochondrial DNA of Australian Songbirds (Pomatostomus)
(Genetics Society Of America, 1990)
A combination of restriction analysis and direct sequencing via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to build trees relating mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) from 50 individuals belonging to five species of Australian ...
Homology and Comparative Methods in the Study of Avian Cooperative Breeding
(University of Chicago Press, 1994)
Ancestral Polymorphism of Mhc Class II Genes in Mice: Implications for Balancing Selection and the Mammalian Molecular Clock
(Genetics Society of America, 1997)
To investigate the evolutionary dynamics at Mhc class II DR genes of mice (genus Mus),we sequenced the peptide binding regions (PBRs) of 41 DRB (=E beta) genes and eight DRA (=E alpha) genes from 15 strains representing ...
The Phylogenetic Component of Cooperative Breeding in Perching Birds
(University of Chicago Press, 1993)
The appreciation by earlier workers of the importance of studying avian cooperative breeding (CB) in an explicitly phylogenetic context has waned in most recent studies of the subject. Newer statistical and conceptual ...
