Ecological patterns of genome size variation and the origin of species in salamanders
Bianca Sclavi, John Herrick
Salamanders (urodela) have among the largest vertebrate genomes, ranging in size from 10 to over 80 pg. The urodela are divided into ten extant families each with a characteristic…
Lineage specific reductions in genome size in salamanders are associated with increased rates of mutation
John Herrick, Bianca Sclavi
Very low levels of genetic diversity have been reported in vertebrates with large genomes, notably salamanders and lungfish [1-3]. Interpreting differences in heterozygosity, which…
Slow Evolution of rag1 and pomc Genes in Vertebrates with Large Genomes
Bianca Sclavi, John Herrick
Growing evidence suggests that many vertebrate lineages are evolving at significantly different rates. As a first approximation of evolutionary rates, we assessed the amount of neu…
Slow evolution of vertebrates with large genomes
Bianca Sclavi, John Herrick
Darwin introduced the concept of the "living fossil" to describe species belonging to lineages that have experienced little evolutionary change, and suggested that species in more…
The Dynamic Replicon: adapting to a changing cellular environment
John Herrick
Eukaryotic cells are often exposed to fluctuations in growth conditions as well as endogenous and exogenous stress-related agents. In addition, during development global patterns o…
Global regulation of genome duplication in eukaryotes: an overview from the epifluorescence microscope
John Herrick, Aaron Bensimon
In eukaryotes, DNA replication is initiated along each chromosome at multiple sites called replication origins. Locally, each replication origin is "licensed", or specified, at the…
