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 ...

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.

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-

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 (

A numerical scheme is presented to design a lattice support for metallic components additively built via laser powder bed fusion. Results show that thermal‐induced distortion can be respectively reduced by 69%, 58%, and 50% in comparison to a uniform lattice, a fully solid support, and a truss‐based lattice support.

Complete chloroplast genome of Caragana kozlowii, an alpine shrub endemic to China
Endemic to the southeast boundary of Tibet plateau, the medicinal alpine shrub Caragana kozlowii is a threatened species. The genetic and molecular data about it is insufficient. In this paper, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of C. kozlowii

Investigating the DNA-Binding Site for VirB, a Key Transcriptional Regulator of Shigella Virulence Genes, Using an In Vivo Binding Tool [PDF]
The transcriptional anti-silencing and DNA-binding protein, VirB, is essential for the virulence of Shigella species and, yet, sequences required for VirB-DNA binding are poorly understood.

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.
