Nuclear Architecture and Patterns of Molecular Evolution Are Correlated in the Ciliate Chilodonella uncinata.
Maurer-Alcalá XX, Katz LA. Maurer-Alcalá XX, et al. Genome Biol Evol. 2016 Jun 8;8(6):1634-42. doi: 10.1093/gbe/evw099. Genome Biol Evol. 2016. PMID: 27189988 Free PMC article.
The relationship between nuclear architecture and patterns of molecular evolution in lineages across the eukaryotic tree of life is not well understood, partly because molecular evolution is traditionally explored as changes in base pairs along a linear sequence without consideri …
