Evolution and statistics of biological regulatory networks
… thesis, I study the process of evolution of the gene regulatory network in Escherichia coli. First, I characterize the portion of the network that has been documented, and then I simulate growth of the network. In this study, I assume that the network evolves by gene duplication and divergence. …

Tracing The Origin Of A Lectin-like Antifreeze Protein
… lineages of teleost fish (Cottidae, Clupeiformes and Osmeriformes). Previous work demonstrated that the AFP gene was horizontally transferred from the Atlantic herring to the smelt, and also showed that the herring is not the progenitor species. Questions remain regarding the origin of the type II …

Evolution and engineering of protein-protein interactions
… elements in most biological processes. The gain and loss of interactions during evolution have important phenotypic consequences that are subject to selection. Therefore, in a crowded cellular environment, proteins must evolve mechanisms to maintain the correct interactions and avoid …
