Genome evolution in structured systems
(2016-05-14)
The evolution of a genome is shaped by spatial interactions at multiple scales. At the angstrom level, structural constraints on both RNA molecules and proteins contribute to the evolution of a gene sequence. Such optimized ...
Genetic Engineering Toward a 57-Codon Genome
(2017-01-09)
Scientific progress in fundamental biology has drastically transformed our ability to engineer biological systems, with diverse applications in medicine and industry, from insulin and artemisin production in prokaryotes ...
Fitness Tradeoffs, Bimodality, and the Genetics of Natural Variation in Glucose-Galactose Sensing Across Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2017-01-26)
In nature, cells must constantly sense their environment and respond appropriately. These cellular “decisions” are implemented by molecular components that can mutate and evolve. How do mutations lead to changes in cellular ...
