Evolutionary genomics: Seeing double
André Goffeau1
Abstract
How do genomes evolve? Studies of numerous yeast species confirm the view that the duplication of genes, larger chromosomal segments and whole genomes are key mechanisms.
In a typical evolutionary tree, the yeast species stand on a branch apart from those of plants and animals. But the cells that make up these three types of organism have some crucial similarities, such as the presence of a nucleus and other subcellular structures.
