ROLE IN ADAPTATIONS. “The common occurrence of structured genomes therefore highlights their likely evolutionary advantage to foster adaptations. Dispensable chromosomes that determine pathogenicity in various species can be seen as the most extreme case of genome structuring.” https://lnkd.in/eC8eb-V View in LinkedIn

ISLANDS AND PERIPHERY. “Structured genomes contain islands of “core” genes involved in essential functions as well as regions of genes that play a role in adaptation and interaction with the environment. This structure fosters short-term adaptations by increasing the probability of favorable mutations using chromosomal rearrangements.” https://lnkd.in/eC8eb-V View in LinkedIn

WIDESPREAD. “Structured genomes are common in eukaryotes and have been described in plants, animals, and fungi. Structured genomes are also frequently observed in pathogenic organisms.” https://lnkd.in/eC8eb-V View in LinkedIn

STRUCTURED GENOME. “Eukaryotic genomes are not just a random sequence of genes; they are structured and contain clusters of co-expressed genes or genes that operate in the same process, such as the biosynthesis of particular compounds.” https://lnkd.in/eC8eb-V View in LinkedIn

FASTER CHANGE. “A structured genome facilitates genome evolution.” https://lnkd.in/eC8eb-V View in LinkedIn

HYBRID BEINGS. "Establishing persistence is difficult and can be thought of as resulting from a successful hacking of host identity networks to insert new code and promote survival of a new more complex virus–host identity." Read and re-read carefully. https://lnkd.in/etdQ9rN View in LinkedIn

ANCIENT LINKAGE. “Unisexual reproduction frequently generates aneuploidy, which can be linked to phenotypic changes and drives adaptation. Interestingly, it has recently been hypothesized that unisexual reproduction may even be the original ancestral form of sexual reproduction to which sexes have evolved later.” https://lnkd.in/eC8eb-V View in LinkedIn

CHRONIC, SILENT AND STABLE. "Nor does it adhere to the red-queen hypothesis. Persistent virus is usually highly prevalent, silent, often genetically stable, co-evolving with the host and usually transmitted from parent (old) to offspring (young) or in close coordination to host reproductive biology." https://lnkd.in/etdQ9rN View in LinkedIn

FUNGAL RECOMBINATION. “Intriguingly, some of the meiosis-specific genes appear to be important for parasexuality, which has been extensively studied under laboratory conditions in C. albicans and can lead to extensive recombination of homologous chromosomes and supernumerary chromosomes.” https://lnkd.in/eC8eb-V View in LinkedIn

PERSISTENT VIRUSES. "Viral persistence is a big determinant of host survival with strong effects on host group survival as well (via virus communication). It defines a relationship between virus and host and between host themselves that does not adhere to the predator–prey theory." https://lnkd.in/etdQ9rN View in LinkedIn
