Phylogenetic and Mechanistic Analysis of A Developmentally Integrated Character Complex: Alternate Life History Modes in Ambystomatid Salamanders1
1996
American Zoologist
Many of the critical pieces are now in place to exploit the evolution of paedomorphosis (metamorphic failure) as a model for both the phylogenetic and mechanistic analysis of a developmentally integrated ...
We provide an overview of the genetic strategies that we are using toward this end, and present some of our own published and unpublished results. ...
One strategy for answering these questions is to use a model system in which both the evolutionary history and mechanistic basis of character variation can be traced during the course of phylogenetic history ...

Resurrecting ancestral structural dynamics of an antiviral immune receptor: adaptive binding pocket reorganization repeatedly shifts RNA preference
2016

Results: Using kinetic binding assays and molecular dynamics simulations of ancestral proteins, we demonstrate how a small number of adaptive protein-coding changes repeatedly shifted the RNA preference ...
Although resurrecting ancestral proteins is a powerful tool for understanding the molecularfunctional evolution of gene families, nearly all studies have examined proteins functioning in relatively stable ...
