Chromosome-level haplotype-resolved assembly of highly heterozygous grass genomes with PhaseGrass [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCurrent methods to generate haplotype-resolved assemblies for highly heterozygous genomes suffer from reference bias when relying on reference-based phasing or may generate imbalanced haplomes when relying on graph-based phasing.

A two-phase clustering procedure based on allele specific expression [PDF]
BMC BioinformaticsBackground Allele Specific Expression analysis is an important tool for integrating genome and transcriptome data. It quantifies expression variation between the two haplotypes of a diploid individual distinguished by heterozygous sites, and is a ...

Genomic variance partitioning of carcass and meat quality traits in Angus beef cattle [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceThis study aimed to partition the genomic variance of carcass weight (CW), marbling score (MS), rib-eye area (REA), and back fat thickness (BFT) traits in Angus beef cattle into components associated with minor allele frequency (MAF) bins, functional ...

eLife, 2022 Three-component ParABS partition systems ensure stable inheritance of many bacterial chromosomes and low-copy-number plasmids. ParA localizes to the nucleoid through its ATP-dependent nonspecific DNA-binding activity, whereas centromere-like parS-DNA and

The internal organization of mycobacterial partition assembly: does the DNA wrap a protein core? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Before cell division in many bacteria, the ParBs spread on a large segment of DNA encompassing the origin-proximal parS site(s) to form the partition assembly that participates in chromosome segregation.

Orderly Replication and Segregation of the Four Replicons of Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Bacterial genomes typically consist of a single chromosome and, optionally, one or more plasmids. But whole-genome sequencing reveals about ten per-cent of them to be multipartite, with additional replicons which by size and indispensability are ...

Partition complex structure can arise from sliding and bridging of ParB dimers
Nature Communications, 2023 In many bacteria, chromosome segregation requires the association of ParB to the parS-containing centromeric region to form the partition complex. However, the structure and formation of this complex have been unclear.

A discrete transition zone organizes the topological and regulatory autonomy of the adjacent tfap2c and bmp7 genes. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Despite the well-documented role of remote enhancers in controlling developmental gene expression, the mechanisms that allocate enhancers to genes are poorly characterized.
