Evolution of the G+C content frontier in the rat cytomegalovirus genome [PDF]
Within the 230138 bp of the rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV) genome, the G+C content changes abruptly at position 142644, constituting a G+C content frontier. To the left of this point, overall G+C content is 69.2%, and to the right it is only 47.6%.

A comparative investigation of nuclear DNA content and its phenotypic impacts in Silene marizii and S. latifolia [PDF]
Considerable variation exists both within and between species in nuclear DNA content. Despite there being no obvious functional role for much of this DNA, many studies have reported phenotypic correlations with genome size at various taxonomic levels ...

An estimate of the total DNA in the biosphere [PDF]
Modern whole-organism genome analysis, in combination with biomass estimates, allows us to estimate a lower bound on the total information content in the biosphere: 5.3 × 1031 (±3.6 × 1031) megabases (Mb) of DNA.

DNA Content Estimation in the Genus Salvia
Salvia is a genetically diverse genus in the Lamiaceae family, with hundreds of species distributed globally. With base chromosome numbers ranging from 6 to 19 and ploidy levels ranging from diploid to octoploid, the genus has been proposed to be ...

Electronic transport in DNA [PDF]
We study the electronic properties of DNA by way of a tight-binding model applied to four particular DNA sequences. The charge transfer properties are presented in terms of localization lengths (crudely speaking, the length over which electrons travel).

UV micro-irradiation of the Chinese hamster cell nucleus and caffeine post-treatment immunocytochemical localization of DNA photolesions in cells with partial and generalized chromosome shattering [PDF]
UV micro-irradiation of a small part of the Chinese hamster nucleus and caffeine post-incubation often results in shattered chromosomes at the first post-irradiation mitosis.

Optimization of sample preparation technique and the possibility of using different types of plant material of two species of the genus Colchicum (Colchicaceae) in flow cytometry [PDF]
The article presents the results of testing and optimization of the sample preparation technique for fl ow cytometric analysis of two species that have not been previously studied in this aspect: Colchicum bulbocodium subsp. versicolor and C. laetum.
