The dynamic nature of eukaryotic genomes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2008

Parfrey Laura Wegener, Lahr Daniel J G, Katz Laura A

Abstract excerpt

Analyses of diverse eukaryotes reveal that genomes are dynamic, sometimes dramatically so. In numerous lineages across the eukaryotic tree of life, DNA content varies within individuals throughout life cycles and among individuals within species. Discovery of examples of genome dynamism is accelerating as genome sequences are completed from diverse eukaryotes. Though much is known about genomes in animals, fungi,...
