The mangrove killifish Rivulus marmoratus, a neotropical fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes, is the only known obligatorily selfing, synchronous hermaphroditic vertebrate. To shed light on its...
Chou, H. H., Hayakawa, T., Diaz, S., Krings, M., Indriati, E., Leakey, M., ...
Humans are genetically deficient in the common mammalian sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) because of an Alu- mediated inactivating mutation of the gene encoding the enzyme...
Obata, Y, Satta, Y, Moriwaki, K, Shiroishi, T, Hasegawa, H, Takahashi, T, ...
In contrast to well-studied "classical" class I genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the biology of nonclassical class I genes remains largely unexamined. The mouse TL genes...
Intensity of natural selection at the major histocompatibility complex loci.
Satta, Y, O'hUigin, C, Takahata, N, Klein, J
Long persistence of allelic lineages, prevalence of nonsynonymous over synonymous substitutions in the peptide-binding region (PBR), and deviation from neutrality of the expected gene identity...
The synonymous substitution rate of the major histocompatibility complex loci in primates.
Satta, Y, O'hUigin, C, Takahata, N, Klein, J
Because the divergence of many allelic lineages at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci predates species divergence, standard methods of calculating synonymous substitution rates are not...
Evolution of the mouse t haplotype: recent and worldwide introgression to Mus musculus.
Morita, T, Kubota, H, Murata, K, Nozaki, M, Delarbre, C, Willison, K, ...
Mouse t haplotypes are variants of chromosome 17, consisting of four inversions. Despite the homozygous lethality and pleiotropic effect on embryonic development, sperm production, and recombination,...
Evolution of Drosophila mitochondrial DNA and the history of the melanogaster subgroup.
The nucleotide sequences of a common region of 15 mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) sampled from the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup were determined. The region is 2527 base pairs long, including most of...
Incomplete Maternal Transmission of Mitochondrial DNA in Drosophila
Kondo, R., Satta, Y., Matsuura, E. T., Ishiwa, H., Takahata, N., Chigusa, S. I.
The possibility of incomplete maternal transmission of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in Drosophila, previously suggested by the presence of heteroplasmy, was examined by intra- and interspecific...
Polymorphism and Balancing Selection at Major Histocompatibility Complex Loci
Takahata, N., Satta, Y., Klein, J.
Amino acid replacements in the peptide-binding region (PBR) of the functional major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) genes appear to be driven by balancing selection. Of the various types of...
Hinata, K., Watanabe, M., Yamakawa, S., Satta, Y., Isogai, A.
In the Brassicaceae, self-vs. nonself-recognition in self-incompatibility is controlled by sporophytic S-alleles. Haplotypes specifying both SRK (S-receptor kinase) and SLG (S-locus glycoprotein) are...
Edwards, S. V., Chesnut, K., Satta, Y., Wakeland, E. K.
To investigate the evolutionary dynamics at Mhc class II DR genes of mice (genus Mus), we sequenced the peptide binding regions (PBRs) of 41 DRB (=Eβ) genes and eight DRA (=Eα) genes from 15...
Kusaba, M, Matsushita, M, Okazaki, K, Satta, Y, Nishio, T
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a mechanism for preventing self-fertilization in flowering plants. In Brassica, it is controlled by a single multi-allelic locus, S, and it is believed that two highly...
The implications of intergenic polymorphism for major histocompatibility complex evolution.
O'hUigin, C, Satta, Y, Hausmann, A, Dawkins, R L, Klein, J
A systematic survey of six intergenic regions flanking the human HLA-B locus in eight haplotypes reveals the regions to be up to 20 times more polymorphic than the reported average degree of human...

A key assumption of many allopatric speciation models is that evolution in peripheral or isolated populations is facilitated by drastic reductions in population size. Population bottlenecks are...
