Nucleotide Frequencies in Human Genome and Fibonacci Numbers [PDF]

, 2006
This work presents a mathematical model that establishes an interesting connection between nucleotide frequencies in human single-stranded DNA and the famous Fibonacci's numbers. The model relies on two assumptions.

Measuring microsatellite conservation in mammalian evolution with a phylogenetic birth-death model. [PDF]

, 2012
Microsatellites make up ∼3% of the human genome, and there is increasing evidence that some microsatellites can have important functions and can be conserved by selection.

Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale genomes provide insights into malaria parasite evolution [PDF]

, 2017
Elucidation of the evolutionary history and interrelatedness of Plasmodium species that infect humans has been hampered by a lack of genetic information for three human-infective species: P. malariae and two P. ovale species (P. o. curtisi and P.

Genome sequences of 11 human vaginal Actinobacteria strains [PDF]

, 2016
The composition of the vaginal microbiota is an important health determinant. Several members of the phylum Actinobacteria have been implicated in bacterial vaginosis, a condition associated with many negative health outcomes. Here, we present 11 strains

Latent regulatory potential of human-specific repetitive elements [PDF]

, 2013
At least half of the human genome is derived from repetitive elements, which are often lineage specific and silenced by a variety of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Using a transchromosomic mouse strain that transmits an almost complete single copy of
