Background In contrast to the highly labile mitochondrial (mt) genomes of vascular plants, the architecture and composition of mt genomes within the main lineages of bryophytes appear stable and invariant.

Information content of a polymeric macromolecule can be calculated in bits, by multiplying the number of building blocks that encompasses the entire length of the macromolecule with the Shannon’s entropy of each building block, which could be determined ...

Although RNA-Seq has revolutionized transcript analysis, organellar transcriptomes are rarely assessed even when present in published datasets. Here, we describe the development and application of a rapid and convenient method, ChloroSeq, to delineate ...

Intron exclusion and the mystery of intron loss [PDF]
Mechanisms for loss and gain of introns are elusive. Reported here is a new pattern of intron loss which features a random loss of a single intron in a multiple‐intron gene with its neighboring introns remained, which process is defined as intron exclusion.

Intron-mediated enhancement is not limited to introns [PDF]
AbstractCertain introns strongly increase mRNA accumulation by a poorly understood mechanism known as Intron-Mediated Enhancement (IME). Introns that boost expression by IME have no effect when located upstream of or more than ~1 Kb downstream from the start of transcription.

Intron or no intron: a matter for nuclear pore complexes [PDF]
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) have been shown to regulate distinct steps of the gene expression process, from transcription to mRNA export. In particular, mRNAs expressed from intron-containing genes are surveyed by a specific NPC-dependent quality control pathway ensuring that unspliced mRNAs are retained within the nucleus.

Intron Evolution in Saccharomycetaceae [PDF]
Introns in protein-coding genes are very rare in hemiascomycetous yeast genomes. It has been suggested that these species have experienced extensive intron loss during their evolution from the postulated intron-rich fungal ancestor. However, no intron-devoidy east species have been identified and some of the introns remaining within the genomes of ...

In search of lost introns [PDF]
Abstract Many fundamental questions concerning the emergence and subsequent evolution of eukaryotic exon–intron organization are still unsettled. Genome-scale comparative studies, which can shed light on crucial aspects of eukaryotic evolution, require adequate computational tools.

Population Genomic Analysis Reveals a Highly Conserved Mitochondrial Genome in Fusarium asiaticum
Fusarium asiaticum is one of the pivotal members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat, barley and rice in large parts of Asia.

IntroductionMany members of the Ophiostomatales are of economic importance as they are bark-beetle associates and causative agents for blue stain on timber and in some instances contribute towards tree mortality.
