To gain further insights into intraspecific evolution of Ulva mitochondrial genomes, the mitogenomes of three morphotypes of the green-tide forming alga, Ulva compressa Linnaeus from China and United States, were sequenced and compared with the available

Mechanisms of gene duplication and translocation and progress towards understanding their relative contributions to animal genome evolution [PDF]
Duplication of genetic material is clearly a major route to genetic change, with consequences for both evolution and disease. A variety of forms and mechanisms of duplication are recognised, operating across the scales of a few base pairs upto entire ...

Genomic rearrangements in prostate cancer [PDF]
Genomic instability is a fundamental feature of human cancer, leading to the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressors. In prostate cancer (PCA), structural genomic rearrangements, resulting in gene fusions, amplifications, and deletions, are a critical mechanism effecting these alterations.

Annotation of two large contiguous regions from the Haemonchus contortus genome using RNA-seq and comparative analysis with Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
The genomes of numerous parasitic nematodes are currently being sequenced, but their complexity and size, together with high levels of intra-specific sequence variation and a lack of reference genomes, makes their assembly and annotation a challenging ...

Plastome Evolution and Phylogeny of Orchidaceae, With 24 New Sequences
In order to understand the evolution of the orchid plastome, we annotated and compared 124 complete plastomes of Orchidaceae representing all the major lineages in their structures, gene contents, gene rearrangements, and IR contractions/expansions ...

Recombination-mediated genome rearrangements
Homologous recombination (HR) is a universal DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway that uses an intact DNA molecule as a template. Signature HR reactions are homology search and DNA strand invasion catalyzed by the prototypical RecA-ssDNA filament (Rad51 and Dmc1 in eukaryotes), which produces heteroduplex DNA-containing joint molecules (JMs ...

A SNP based linkage map of the turkey genome reveals multiple intrachromosomal rearrangements between the Turkey and Chicken genomes [PDF]
Background The turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is an important agricultural species that is the second largest contributor to the world's poultry meat production.

Principles of genome evolution in the Drosophila melanogaster species group.
That closely related species often differ by chromosomal inversions was discovered by Sturtevant and Plunkett in 1926. Our knowledge of how these inversions originate is still very limited, although a prevailing view is that they are facilitated by ...

Calculating orthologs in bacteria and archaea : a divide and conquer approach [PDF]
Among proteins, orthologs are defined as those that are derived by vertical descent from a single progenitor in the last common ancestor of their host organisms.
