Molecular characterization of Borrelia persica, the agent of tick borne relapsing fever in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The identification of the Tick Borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF) agent in Israel and the Palestinian Authority relies on the morphology and the association of Borrelia persica with its vector Ornithodoros tholozani. Molecular based data on B. persica are very

Polymorphism and gene conversion of the 16S rRNA genes in the multiple rRNA operons ofVibrio parahaemolyticus [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2005 The genome sequence of a strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus holds 11 copies of rRNA operons (rrn) with identical 16S rRNA genes (rrs). Conversely, the species type strain contains two rrs classes differing in 10 nucleotide sites within a short segment of 25 bp.

Transposition of a chromosomal segment bounded by redundant rRNA genes into other rRNA genes in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1982 We have constructed several mutants of Escherichia coli which have the chromosomal segment between the directly repeated rrnB and rrnE genes deleted from the normal position and transposed into another one of the seven redundant rRNA genes. We have examples where the transposition has been into rrnC, rrnD, rrnG, and rrnH.

Phylogenetic position of the Hypsugo alaschanicus based on complete mitochondrial genome sequences
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 The mitogenome of the Hypsugo alaschanicus is a circular module of 16,911 bp, which consists of 37 genes, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), and a control region. The mitogenome of H. alaschanicus

Analyses of rRNA gene chromatin in cell cycle arrested Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells
Data in Brief, 2019 The existence of two chromatin structures in the rDNA locus was previously demonstrated for a large variety of organisms, ranging from yeast to human. In yeast there are about 150–200 rRNA genes organized in tandem repeats.

Conditional inactivation of Upstream Binding Factor reveals its epigenetic functions and the existence of a somatic nucleolar precursor body. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Upstream Binding Factor (UBF) is a unique multi-HMGB-box protein first identified as a co-factor in RNA polymerase I (RPI/PolI) transcription. However, its poor DNA sequence selectivity and its ability to generate nucleosome-like nucleoprotein complexes ...
