GenomeFingerprinter and universal genome fingerprint analysis for systematic comparative genomics [PDF]
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 ...

Comparative cytogenetic analysis of diploid and hexaploid Chenopodium album Agg
Two cytotypes of Chenopodium album, diploid (2n=2x=18) and hexaploid (2n=6x=54), were analysed using flow cytometry and a FISH experiment. The genome size was indicated as 1.795 pg for the diploid and 3.845 pg for the hexaploid plants which suggested ...

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.

A planarian nidovirus expands the limits of RNA genome size
RNA viruses are the only known RNA-protein (RNP) entities capable of autonomous replication (albeit within a permissive environment). A 33.5-kb nidovirus has been considered close to the upper size limit for such entities; conversely, the minimal ...

Dynamic hybridization between two spleenworts, Asplenium incisum and Asplenium ruprechtii in Korea
Natural hybridization between Asplenium incisum and A. ruprechtii has been observed in Northeast Asia and its allotetraploid species, A. castaneoviride, was reported.

Sequencing the Major Mycosphaerella Pathogens of Wheat and Banana [PDF]
Mycosphaerella is one of the largest genera of plant-pathogenic fungi with more than 1,000 named species, many of which are important pathogens causing leaf spotting diseases in a wide variety of crops including cereals, citrus, banana, eucalypts, soft ...

A new reference genome assembly for the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex [PDF]
Comparing genomes of closely related genotypes from populations with distinct demographic histories can help reveal the impact of effective population size on genome evolution. For this purpose, we present a high quality genome assembly of Daphnia pulex (

Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) Genome Size Estimation Using Flow Cytometry and K-Mer Analyses
Plant genomes provide information on biosynthetic pathways involved in the production of industrially relevant compounds. Genome size estimates are essential for the initiation of genome projects.

Phylogeny more than plant height and leaf area explains variance in seed mass
Although variation in seed mass can be attributed to other plant functional traits such as plant height, leaf size, genome size, growth form, leaf N and phylogeny, until now, there has been little information on the relative contributions of these ...

Parallel altitudinal clines reveal trends in adaptive evolution of genome size in Zea mays
While the vast majority of genome size variation in plants is due to differences in repetitive sequence, we know little about how selection acts on repeat content in natural populations.
