Ancestral Genomes: a resource for reconstructed ancestral genes and genomes across the tree of life
2018
Nucleic Acids Research
Comprehensive sets of protein-coding genes have been reconstructed for 78 genomes of now-extinct species that were the common ancestors of extant species from across the tree of life. ...
(GO) annotations, and a 'proxy gene' for each ancestral gene, defined as the least-diverged descendant of the ancestral gene in a given extant genome. ...
CONCLUSIONS We have created a new resource for exploring reconstructed Ancestral Genomes across the tree of life. ...

Reconstruction of hundreds of reference ancestral genomes across the eukaryotic kingdom
[article]
2022
bioRxiv
pre-print
Ancestral sequence reconstruction is a fundamental aspect of molecular evolution studies, and can trace small-scale sequence modifications through the evolution of genomes and species. ...
Here we reconstruct the detailed gene contents and organisations of 624 ancestral vertebrate, plant, fungi, metazoan and protist genomes, 183 of which are near-complete chromosomal reconstructions. ...

Ancestral genome estimation reveals the history of ecological diversification in Agrobacterium
[article]
2015
bioRxiv
pre-print
We used a phylogenetic approach accounting for the transfer of genes (or groups of genes) to estimate the history of genomes in Agrobacterium biovar 1, a diverse group of soil and plant-dwelling bacterial ...
The acquisition of these synapomorphic blocks of co-functioning genes probably drove the ecological diversification of Agrobacterium and defined features of ancestral ecological niches, which consistently ...

Sea anemone genomes reveal ancestral metazoan chromosomal macrosynteny
[article]

bioRxiv
pre-print
Accordingly, there is a lack of evidence for topologically associated domains, which have been implicated in the evolutionary pressure to retain tight microsyntenic gene clusters. ...
Within this clade, the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis has emerged as a slow evolving model for investigating characteristics of the cnidarian-bilaterian common ancestor, which diverged near the Cambrian ...

Genome Biology
Conclusion: These findings reveal both shared ancestral and unique derived characteristics of the chaetognath genome, which suggests that this genome is likely the product of a very original evolutionary ...
These features promote chaetognaths as a pivotal model for comparative genomics, which could provide new clues for the investigation of the evolution of animal genomes. ...
