Punctuated evolution and transitional hybrid network in an ancestral cell cycle of fungi
Edgar M. Medina, Jonathan J. Turner, Raluca Gordan…·Nicolas E. Buchler
The paper shows that fungal cell cycle evolution involved horizontal gene transfer of SBF, leading to a hybrid network with E2F, and demonstrates SBF's ability to regulate E2F-targeted promoters in yeast.
