Evolution of RH genes in hominoids: Characterization of a gorilla RHCE-like gene
Article Abstract:
Linked genes on the human RH locus responsible for the expression of rhesus blood group antigens may be derived from a relatively recent duplication event in a common primate ancestor. The characterization of a cDNA encoded by a gorilla RH-like gene is reported.

Predicting the evolution of human influenza A
Article Abstract:
The evolution of th HA1 domain of the H3 haemagglutinin gene from human influenza A virus was studied. Results suggest that monitoring new H3 isolates might help identify the most fit extant viral strains arising during antigenic drift.

Color vision of the coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae) and adaptive evolution of rhodopsin (RH1) and rhodopsin-like (RH2) pigments
Article Abstract:
Coelacanth color vision utilises rod-specific RH1 and cone-specific RH2 pigments. Their use and blue-shifted L-max values are explored in the context of adaptive evolution.
