The frequency of polyploid speciation in vascular plants

…, MS Barker, I Mayrose… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Since its discovery in 1907, polyploidy has been recognized as an important phenomenon
in vascular plants, and several lines of evidence indicate that most, if not all, plant species …

Recently formed polyploid plants diversify at lower rates

I Mayrose, SH Zhan, CJ Rothfels, K Magnuson-Ford… - Science, 2011 - science.org
Polyploidy, the doubling of genomic content, is a widespread feature, especially among
plants, yet its macroevolutionary impacts are contentious. Traditionally, polyploidy has been …

Clumpak: a program for identifying clustering modes and packaging population structure inferences across K

…, NA Rosenberg, I Mayrose - Molecular ecology …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The identification of the genetic structure of populations from multilocus genotype data has
become a central component of modern population‐genetic data analysis. Application of …

ConSurf 2016: an improved methodology to estimate and visualize evolutionary conservation in macromolecules

…, S Abadi, E Martz, O Chay, I Mayrose… - Nucleic acids …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
The degree of evolutionary conservation of an amino acid in a protein or a nucleic acid in
DNA/RNA reflects a balance between its natural tendency to mutate and the overall need to …

ConSurf 2005: the projection of evolutionary conservation scores of residues on protein structures

M Landau, I Mayrose, Y Rosenberg… - Nucleic acids …, 2005 - academic.oup.com
Key amino acid positions that are important for maintaining the 3D structure of a protein and/or
its function(s), eg catalytic activity, binding to ligand, DNA or other proteins, are often …

[HTML][HTML] Sex determination: why so many ways of doing it?

…, TL Ashman, MW Hahn, J Kitano, I Mayrose… - PLoS …, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Itay Mayrose, … Itay Mayrose, … Hahn, Mark Kirkpatrick, Jun Kitano, Itay Mayrose, Ray Ming,

The Chromosome Counts Database (CCDB)–a community resource of plant chromosome numbers

…, A Salman-Minkov, J Mayzel, O Chay, I Mayrose - New Phytologist, 2015 - JSTOR
For nearly a century, biologists, and botanists in particular, have been interested in the
determination and documentation of chromosome numbers for extant taxa (reviewed in Goldblatt …

[PDF][PDF] Rate4Site: an algorithmic tool for the identification of functional regions in proteins by surface mapping of evolutionary determinants within their homologues

T Pupko, RE Bell, I Mayrose, F Glaser, N Ben-Tal - Bioinformatics, 2002 - academia.edu
Motivation: A number of proteins of known threedimensional (3D) structure exist, with yet
unknown function. In light of the recent progress in structure determination methodology, this …

ConSurf: using evolutionary data to raise testable hypotheses about protein function

…, F Glaser, E Martz, I Mayrose… - Israel Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Many mutations disappear from the population because they impair protein function and/or
stability. Thus, amino acid positions that are essential for proper function evolve more slowly …

Comparison of site-specific rate-inference methods for protein sequences: empirical Bayesian methods are superior

I Mayrose, D Graur, N Ben-Tal… - Molecular biology and …, 2004 - academic.oup.com
The degree to which an amino acid site is free to vary is strongly dependent on its structural
and functional importance. An amino acid that plays an essential role is unlikely to change …
