On age-specific selection and extensive lifespan beyond menopause
Tin Yau Pang
Extensive post reproductive lifespan (PRLS) is observed only in a few species, such as humans or resident killer whales, and its origin is under debate. Hypotheses like mother-care…
Supra-operonic clusters of functionally related genes (SOCs) are a source of horizontal gene co-transfers
Tin Y Pang, Martin Lercher
Adaptation of bacteria occurs predominantly via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). While it is widely recognized that horizontal acquisitions frequently encompass multiple genes, it i…
The adaptive acquisition of single DNA segments drives metabolic evolution across E. coli lineages
Tin Y. Pang, Martin Lercher
Even closely related prokaryotes show an astounding diversity in their ability to grow in different nutritional environments. Mechanistically, this diversity arises predominantly t…
Recombinant transfer in the basic genome of E. coli
Purushottam Dixit, Tin Yau Pang, F. William Studier +1
An approximation to the ~4 Mbp basic genome shared by 32 strains of E. coli representing six evolutionary groups has been derived and analyzed computationally. A multiple-alignment…
Quantifying evolutionary dynamics of the basic genome of E. coli
Purushottam Dixit, Tin Yau Pang, F. William Studier +1
The ~4-Mbp basic genome shared by 32 independent isolates of E. coli representing considerable population diversity has been approximated by whole-genome multiple-alignment and com…
Universal distribution of component frequencies in biological and technological systems
Tin Yau Pang, Sergei Maslov
Bacterial genomes and large-scale computer software projects both consist of a large number of components (genes or software packages) connected via a network of mutual dependencie…
