A novel class of miniature inverted repeat transposable elements (MITEs) that contain hitchhiking (GTCY)n microsatellites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The movement of miniature inverted repeat transposable elements (MITEs) modifies genome structure and function. We describe the microsatellite-associated interspersed nuclear element 2 (MINE-2), that integrates at consensus WTTTT target sites, creates ...

Insertion of miniature subterminal inverted repeat-like elements in diapause-regulated genes in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2011
Determining the genomic structure of diapause-associated transcripts (DAT) -2 and -3 led to the isolation of four novel miniature subterminal inverted repeat-like elements (MSITE): Mild-1, -2, -3 and -4.

Origin-Dependent Inverted-Repeat Amplification: Tests of a Model for Inverted DNA Amplification.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2015
DNA replication errors are a major driver of evolution--from single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale copy number variations (CNVs). Here we test a specific replication-based model to explain the generation of interstitial, inverted triplications ...

A complete chloroplast genome of Rubia yunnanensis Diels (Rubiaceae), a traditional Chinese herb endemic to China

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
Rubia yunnanensis Diels 1912 (Rubiaceae) is a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine. We here assembled a complete chloroplast (cp) genome for R. yunnanensis using Illumina HiSeq reads. The genome is 155,108 bp in length.

Conformational and thermodynamic hallmarks of DNA operator site specificity in the copper sensitive operon repressor from Streptomyces lividans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Metal ion homeostasis in bacteria relies on metalloregulatory proteins to upregulate metal resistance genes and enable the organism to preclude metal toxicity.

Full-length chloroplast genome of Dongxiang wild rice reveals small single-copy region switching

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
BackgroundPlant chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) typically has a circular structure, including a large single-copy region (LSC), a small single-copy region (SSC) and two inverted repeats (IR1 and IR2). The organization of these four elementary regions LSC-IR1-SSC-

Inverted and mirror repeats in model nucleotide sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We analytically and numerically study the probabilistic properties of inverted and mirror repeats in model sequences of nucleic acids. We consider both perfect and non-perfect repeats, i.e. repeats with mismatches and gaps. The considered sequence models

MUSTv2: An Improved De Novo Detection Program for Recently Active Miniature Inverted Repeat Transposable Elements (MITEs)

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2017
Miniature inverted repeat transposable element (MITE) is a short transposable element, carrying no protein-coding regions. However, its high proliferation rate and sequence-specific insertion preference renders it as a good genetic tool for both natural ...

DNA uptake sequences in 'Neisseria gonorrhoeae' as intrinsic transcriptional terminators and markers of horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
DNA uptake sequences are widespread throughout the Neisseria gonorrhoeae genome. These short, conserved sequences facilitate the exchange of endogenous DNA between members of the genus Neisseria.

Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals the Mechanism Driving the Diversification of Plastomic Structure in Taxaceae Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Inverted repeat (IR) regions in the plastomes from land plants induce homologous recombination, generating isomeric plastomes. While the plastomes of Taxaceae species often lose one of the IR regions, considerable isomeric plastomes were created in ...
