Previous evolutionary models of duplicate gene evolution have overlooked the pivotal role of genome architecture. Here, we show that proximity-based regulatory recruitment by distally duplicated genes is an efficient mechanism for modulating tissue-specific production of preexisting proteins. By leveraging genomic asymmetries, we performed a coexpression analysis on tissue data to show the generality of enhancer capture-divergence (ECD) as a significant evolutionary driver of asymmetric, distally duplicated genes.

- The incorporation of selenocysteine (Sec) into the genetic code has led to the creation of a specialized group of proteins, known as the selenoproteome, across all life forms.* -
- In humans, the enzyme O-phosphoseryl-tRNASec selenium transferase (SepSecS) has a unique structure that limits its ability to bind more than two tRNASec molecules, due to a specific acidic α-helical extension.* -
- Research finds that the tRNA-binding mechanisms of SepSecS vary across species, with significant differences between mammals and archaea, indicating that the ability to regulate selenoprotein synthesis has evolved differently in these groups.*

Objective: To present the results of the cytogenetic analysis of 303 products of conception (POC), which included 184 miscarriages, 49 stillbirths and 17 cases of undefined age.
