A model for rearrangements in RNA genomes

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1995
Engineered mutants of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) and poliovirus having altered spacing between the oligopyrimidine and AUG moieties of a translational control element are known to generate pseudorevertants with deletions or insertions that tend to restore the wild-type structure of this element.

Large genomic rearrangements in MECP2 [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Mutation, 2005
In 1999, mutations in the X-linked gene methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) were first reported in patients with Rett syndrome (RTT). The MECP2 gene is located at Xq28 and consists of 4 exons. About 80-90 % of the classic RTT patients harbor mutations in the coding region of MECP2, while the molecular cause is unknown in the remaining 10-20%.

Markedly different genome arrangements between serotype a strains and serotypes b or c strains of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2010
Background Bacterial phenotype may be profoundly affected by the physical arrangement of their genes in the genome. The Gram-negative species Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a major etiologic agent of human periodontitis. Individual clonal types

Two male-killing Wolbachia from Drosophila birauraia that are closely related but distinct in genome structure

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Insects harbour diverse maternally inherited bacteria and viruses, some of which have evolved to kill the male progeny of their hosts (male killing: MK). The fly species Drosophila biauraria carries a maternally transmitted MK-inducing partiti-like virus,

Somatic rearrangements across cancer reveal classes of samples with distinct patterns of DNA breakage and rearrangement-induced hypermutability

open access: yes, 2019
Whole-genome sequencing using massively parallel sequencing technologies enables accurate detection of somatic rearrangements in cancer. Pinpointing large numbers of rearrangement breakpoints to base-pair resolution allows analysis of rearrangement ...

Fragmentation in mitochondrial genomes in relation to elevated sequence divergence and extreme rearrangements

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2022
Background A single circular mitochondrial (mt) genome is a common feature across most metazoans. The mt-genome includes protein-coding genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, as well as RNAs necessary for translation of mt-RNAs, whose order and ...

Genome rearrangement with gene families [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 1999
Abstract Motivation: The theory and practice of genome rearrangement analysis breaks down in the biologically widespread contexts where each gene may be present in a number of copies, not necessarily contiguous. In some of these contexts it is, however, appropriate to ask which members of each gene family in two genomes G and H, lengths ...

DCJ-RNA - double cut and join for RNA secondary structures

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background Genome rearrangements are essential processes for evolution and are responsible for existing varieties of genome architectures. Many studies have been conducted to obtain an algorithm that identifies the minimum number of inversions that are ...

Gene order data from a model amphibian (Ambystoma): new perspectives on vertebrate genome structure and evolution

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2006
Background Because amphibians arise from a branch of the vertebrate evolutionary tree that is juxtaposed between fishes and amniotes, they provide important comparative perspective for reconstructing character changes that have occurred during vertebrate
