Mapping-based genome size estimation [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 While the size of chromosomes can be measured under a microscope, obtaining the exact size of a genome remains a challenge. Biochemical methods and k-mer distribution-based approaches allow only estimations. An alternative approach to estimate the genome

Centromere size scales with genome size across Eukaryotes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Previous studies on grass species suggested that the total centromere size (sum of all centromere sizes in a cell) may be determined by the genome size, possibly because stable scaling is important for proper cell division. However, it is unclear whether

Genome size versus geographic range size in birds [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Why do some species occur in small, restricted areas, while others are distributed globally? Environmental heterogeneity increases with area and so does the number of species.

Does Cell Size Impact Chloroplast Genome Size? [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 There is a strong positive relationship between nuclear genome size and cell size across the eukaryotic domain, but the cause and effect of this relationship is unclear.

Intron Size and Genome Size in Plants [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2002 It has long been known that genomes vary over a remarkable range of sizes in both plants (Bennett, Cox, and Leitch 1997) and animals (Gregory 2001). It also has become evident that across the broad phylogenetic sweep, genome size may be correlated with ...

Lifestyles shape genome size and gene content in fungal pathogens [PDF]
eLifeFungi display a wide range of lifestyles and hosts. We still know little about the impact of lifestyles, including pathogenicity, on their genome architecture. Here, we combined and annotated 552 fungal genomes from the class Sordariomycetes and examined

Genome Streamlining: Effect of Mutation Rate and Population Size on Genome Size Reduction. [PDF]
Genome Biol EvolAbstract Genome streamlining, i.e. genome size reduction, is observed in bacteria with very different life traits, including endosymbiotic bacteria and several marine bacteria, raising the question of its evolutionary origin. None of the hypotheses proposed in the literature is firmly established, mainly due to the many confounding ...

Morphological and Genome-Wide Evidence of Homoploid Hybridisation in Urospermum (Asteraceae)
Plants, 2022 The genus Urospermum is distributed in the Mediterranean region and Macaronesia, and has been introduced to other extra-Mediterranean regions. Although the two species constituting the genus, U. dalechampii and U. picroides, are frequently found together,

GenomeFingerprinter and universal genome fingerprint analysis for systematic comparative genomics [PDF]
, 2013 How to compare whole genome sequences at large scale has not been achieved via conventional methods based on pair-wisely base-to-base comparison; nevertheless, no attention was paid to handle in-one-sitting a number of genomes crossing genetic category ...
