Spiders represent a diverse and familiar group of animals, but to date no information has been made available regarding their genome sizes. Arachnids in general have been almost entirely overlooked, and are currently represented by a single tick in the animal genome size data set.

Common Repeat Elements in the Mitochondrial and Plastid Genomes of Green Algae
Despite both originating from endosymbiotic bacteria, one does not typically expect mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to show strong sequence identity to plastid DNA (ptDNA). Nevertheless, a recent analysis of Haematococcus lacustris revealed exactly that.

Flow cytometry gives a unique opportunity to analyze thousands of individual cells for multiple parameters in a course of minutes. The most commonly used flow cytometry application in plant biology is estimation of nuclear DNA content.

Non-coding repetitive DNA (repeatome) is an active part of the nuclear genome, involved in its structure, evolution and function. It is dominated by transposable elements (TEs) and satellite DNA and is prone to the most rapid changes over time.

The laws of natural selection dictate that bacteria will eventually develop resistance to practically any antibiotic. Selective pressure exerted by widespread antimicrobial use is a driving force in the development of antibiotic resistance. —Stuart Levy The quotation above (http://www.tufts.edu/med/apua/Practitioners/ABRcontrol.html) has led to ...

Several universal genomic traits affect trade-offs in the capacity, cost, and efficiency of the biochemical information processing that underpins metabolism and reproduction. We analyzed the role of these traits in mediating the responses of a planktonic

Intron Size and Genome Size in Plants [PDF]
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 intron size (Deutsch and Long 1999; Vinogradov 1999; McLysaght et al.

Retrotransposon Proliferation Coincident with the Evolution of Dioecy in Asparagus
Current phylogenetic sampling reveals that dioecy and an XY sex chromosome pair evolved once, or possibly twice, in the genus Asparagus. Although there appear to be some lineage-specific polyploidization events, the base chromosome number of 2n = 2× = 20
