Commentary
Taming of the shrewd: novel eukaryotic genes from RNA viruses Eugene V Koonin BMC Biology 2010, 8:2 (12 January 2010) Eugene Koonin comments on the recent finding that integrated copies of non-retroviral RNA virus genes are widely spread in fungal genomes and proposes a role for these acquired genes in antiviral immunity.

Opinion
Is evolution Darwinian or/and Lamarckian? Eugene V Koonin, Yuri I Wolf Biology Direct 2009, 4:42 (11 November 2009) This article is part of a collection on Evolutionary Biology 150... Darwinian and Lamarckian mechanisms are both important for evolution and seem to belong to different parts of the broad range of complex interactions between genotypes and environment.

Evolutionary conservation of sequence and secondary structures in CRISPR repeats Victor Kunin, Rotem Sorek, Philip Hugenholtz Genome Biology 2007, 8:R61 (18 April 2007) The categorisation and structural analysis of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) sequences from 195 microbial genomes show that repeats from diverse organisms can be grouped based on sequence similarity, and that some groups have pronounced secondary structures with compensatory base changes. |
