Genome Sizes of Spiders [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Heredity, 2003
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
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.

Mastering DNA Content Estimation by Flow Cytometry as an Efficient Tool for Plant Breeding and Biodiversity Research

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2023
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.

The relationship between transposable elements and ecological niches in the Greater Cape Floristic Region: A study on the genus Pteronia (Asteraceae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
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.

(Genome) Size Matters [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2007
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 ...

Genomic adaptations in information processing underpin trophic strategy in a whole-ecosystem nutrient enrichment experiment

open access: yeseLife, 2020
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

Analysis of 1,000+ Type-Strain Genomes Substantially Improves Taxonomic Classification of Alphaproteobacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The class Alphaproteobacteria is comprised of a diverse assemblage of Gram-negative bacteria that includes organisms of varying morphologies, physiologies and habitat preferences many of which are of clinical and ecological importance ...

Genome size and repetitive sequences are driven by artificial selection on the length of the vegetative cycle in maize landraces from Northeastern Argentina

open access: yesRodriguésia, 2021
Variation in genome size and knob heterochromatin content was explored in relationship to altitudinal cline and length of the vegetative cycle in northern Argentina, USA and Mexico landraces.

Intron Size and Genome Size in Plants [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular 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 intron size (Deutsch and Long 1999; Vinogradov 1999; McLysaght et al.

Retrotransposon Proliferation Coincident with the Evolution of Dioecy in Asparagus

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
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
