An improved chromosome preparation from male gametophyte of Laminaria japonica (Heterokontophyta)
An improved method for the preparation of chromosomes from the male gametophyte of the alga Laminaria japonica Aresch. was described. The male gametophyte was pretreated with pDB (p-dichlorobenzene) and 8-hydroxy...

Functional divergence in protein (family) sequence evolution
As widely used today to infer ‘:function’, the homology search is based on the neutral theory that sites of greatest functional significance are under the strongest selective constraints as well as lowest evol...

Directional mutational pressure affects the amino acid composition and hydrophobicity of proteins in bacteria
The relationship between change in genomic GC content and protein evolution in bacteria was studied by simple correlational analysis (at the genus level) and by Felsenstein’s (1985) independent contrast test. ...
