Random Chromosome Partitioning in the Polyploid BacteriumThermus thermophilusHB27 [PDF]
AbstractLittle is known about chromosome segregation in polyploid prokaryotes. In this study, whether stringent or variable chromosome segregation occurs in polyploid thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus was analyzed. A stable heterozygous strain (HL01) containing two antibiotic resistance markers at one gene locus was generated. The inheritance

Targeting the chromosome partitioning protein ParA in tuberculosis drug discovery [PDF]
To identify inhibitors of the essential chromosome partitioning protein ParA that are active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.Antisense expression of the parA orthologue MSMEG_6939 was induced on the Mycobacterium smegmatis background. Screening of synthetic chemical libraries was performed to identify compounds with higher anti-mycobacterial ...

Virtual partition digital PCR for high precision chromosomal counting applications [PDF]
AbstractDigital PCR (dPCR) is the gold standard analytical platform for rapid high precision quantification of genomic fragments. However, current dPCR assays are generally limited to monitoring 1-2 analytes per sample, thereby limiting the platform’s ability to address some clinical applications that require the simultaneous monitoring of 20 – 50 ...

The two Cis-acting sites, parS1 and oriC1, contribute to the longitudinal organisation of Vibrio cholerae chromosome I. [PDF]
The segregation of bacterial chromosomes follows a precise choreography of spatial organisation. It is initiated by the bipolar migration of the sister copies of the replication origin (ori).

A fast-partitioning decision method for demand side resources based on grid resilience assessment
With the large-scale renewable energy integrated into the distribution grid, the grid’s regulating ability and disturbance tolerance are weakening. When partitioning demand-side resources, it is necessary to enhance resilience to ensure the reliability ...

Partition of P1 plasmids in Escherichia coli mukB chromosomal partition mutants [PDF]
The partition system of the low-copy-number plasmid/prophage of bacteriophage P1 encodes two proteins, ParA and ParB, and contains a DNA site called parS. ParB and the Escherichia coli protein IHF bind to parS to form the partition complex, in which parS is wrapped around ParB and IHF in a precise three-dimensional conformation.

Centromere Binding and Evolution of Chromosomal Partition Systems in the Burkholderiales [PDF]
ABSTRACTHow split genomes arise and evolve in bacteria is poorly understood. Since each replicon of such genomes encodes a specific partition (Par) system, the evolution of Par systems could shed light on their evolution. The cystic fibrosis pathogenBurkholderia cenocepaciahas three chromosomes (c1, c2, and c3) and one plasmid (pBC), whose ...

We present a new approach based on grammatical evolution (GE) aimed at addressing the analog electronic circuit design problem. In the new approach, called multi-grammatical evolution (MGE), a chromosome is a variable-length codon string that is divided ...
