Long-read sequencing reveals atypical mitochondrial genome structure in a New Zealand marine isopod
Most animal mitochondrial genomes are small, circular and structurally conserved. However, recent work indicates that diverse taxa possess unusual mitochondrial genomes.

Comparative genomics study of inverted repeats in bacteria [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: Comparative genomics provides a powerful way to investigate regularities and differences observed at DNA level across species. Here we study the number and location of inverted repeats occurring in complete genomes of bacteria.

Bridging PCR: An Efficient and Reliable Scheme Implemented for Genome-Walking
The efficacy of the available genome-walking methods is restricted by low specificity, high background, or composite operations. We herein conceived bridging PCR, an efficient genome-walking approach.

The complete chloroplast genome of Agave fourcroydes
Agave fourcroydes (henequen) is the only cultivated Agave species in the Yucatan Peninsula, which is mainly used for fiber production. In the present study, we have successfully assembled the chloroplast (cp) genome of A. fourcroydes.

Data‐driven performance metrics for neural network learning
Summary Effectiveness of data‐driven neural learning in terms of both local mimima trapping and convergence rate is addressed. Such issues are investigated in a case study involving the training of one‐hidden‐layer feedforward neural networks with the extended Kalman filter, which reduces the search for the optimal network parameters to a state ...

Long-reads reveal that Rhododendron delavayi plastid genome contains extensive repeat sequences, and recombination exists among plastid genomes of photosynthetic Ericaceae [PDF]
Background Rhododendron delavayi Franch. var. delavayi is a wild ornamental plant species in Guizhou Province, China. The lack of its plastid genome information seriously hinders the further application and conservation of the valuable resource.

PCIR: a database of Plant Chloroplast Inverted Repeats [PDF]
Abstract Inverted repeats (IRs) serve as potential biomarkers for genomic instability, DNA replication and other genetic processes. However, little information can be found in databases to help researchers recognize potential IR nucleotides, explore junction sites and annotate related functional genes. Plant Chloroplast Inverted Repeats (

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

A cruciform-dumbbell model for inverted dimer formation mediated by inverted repeats [PDF]
Small inverted repeats (small palindromes) on plasmids have been shown to mediate a recombinational rearrangement event in Escherichia coli leading to the formation of inverted dimers (giant palindromes). This recombinational rearrangement event is efficient and independent of RecA and RecBCD.
