Gene Conversion Drives Within Genic Sequences: Concerted Evolution of Ribosomal RNA Genes in Bacteria and Archaea
Multiple copies of a given ribosomal RNA gene family undergo concerted evolution such that sequences of all gene copies are virtually identical within a species although they diverge normally between species....

Characterization of a Novel Class of Interspersed LTR Elements in Primate Genomes: Structure, Genomic Distribution, and Evolution
Retrovirus-like sequences and their solitary (solo) long terminal repeats (LTRs) are common repetitive elements in eukaryotic genomes. We reported previously that the tandemly arrayed genes encoding U2 snRNA ...

Molecular phylogenies based on ribosomal protein L11, L1, L10, and L12 sequences
Available sequences that correspond to the E. coli ribosomal proteins L11, L1, L10, and L12 from eubacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes have been aligned. The alignments were analyzed qualitatively for shared...

Chapter
The Evolution of Ribosomal Protein and Ribosomal RNA Operons: Coding Sequences, Regulatory Mechanisms and Processing Pathways
All extant life forms were derived from a single primordial ancestor that already had a DNA based genetic system and a well established transcription-translation apparatus. Evolutionary diversification driven ...
