• Exonic remnants of whole-genome duplication reveal cis-regulatory function of coding exons 

      Dong, Xianjun; Navratilova, Pavla; Fredman, David; Drivenes, Øyvind; Becker, Thomas S.; Lenhard, Boris (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-12-06)
      Using a comparative genomics approach to reconstruct the fate of genomic regulatory blocks (GRBs) and identify exonic remnants that have survived the disappearance of their host genes after whole-genome duplication (WGD) ...
    • Genomic regulatory blocks underlie extensive microsynteny conservation in insects 

      Engström, Pär G.; Sui, Shannan J. Ho; Drivenes, Øyvind; Becker, Thomas S.; Lenhard, Boris (Journal article, 2007-11-07)
      Insect genomes contain larger blocks of conserved gene order (microsynteny) than would be expected under a random breakage model of chromosome evolution. We present evidence that microsynteny has been retained to keep large ...
