Background It is hypothesized that the highly conserved inverted repeats (IR) structure of land plant plastid genomes (plastomes) is beneficial for stabilizing plastome organization, whereas the mechanism of the occurrence and stability maintenance of ...

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.

Lack of Z-DNA Conformation in Mitomycin-Modified Polynucleotides Having Inverted Circular Dichroism [PDF]
Poly(dG-dC)· poly(dG-dC) and Micrococcus lysodeikticus DNA were modified by exposure to reductively activated mitomycin C, an antitumor antibiotic. The resulting covalent drug-polynucleotide complexes displayed varying degrees of CD inversions, which are

Fast cloning inverted repeats for RNA interference [PDF]
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can induce post-transcriptional gene silencing in a wide variety of organisms. Commonly, inverted repeats are used to produce dsRNA to silence genes of interest. However, cloning inverted repeats still remains a rate-limiting step for widely applying this technique.

Variability of Inverted Repeats in All Available Genomes of Bacteria
Our manuscript reports for the first time a complete analysis of inverted repeats in all fully sequenced bacterial genomes. Thanks to the availability of unique computational resources, we were able to statistically evaluate the presence and localization of these important regulatory sequences in bacterial genomes. This work revealed a strong abundance

Next generation sequencing reveals the complete plastome sequence of newly discovered cliff-dwelling Sonchus boulosii (Asteraceae: Cichorieae) in Morocco [PDF]
The complete chloroplast genome sequences of newly discovered cliff-dwelling species of Sonchus, S. boulosii, were reported in this study. The S. boulosii plastome was 152,016 bp long, with the large single copy (LSC) region of 83,988 bp, the small ...

The complete chloroplast genome of Aegle marmelos and its phylogenetic analysis
Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa 1800, a plant belonging to the Rutaceae family, is extensively used in Tibetan medicine. We employed Illumina HiSeq reads to assemble the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. marmelos, which spans 144,538 bp.

Inverted repeated sequences in yeast nuclear DNA [PDF]
The inverted repeated sequences (foldback DNA) of yeast nuclear DNA have been examined by electron microscopy and hydroxyapatite chromatography. Of the inverted repeat structures seen in the electron microscope, 34% were hairpins and 66% had a single stranded loop at the end of a duplex stem.

Rapid identification and differentiation of the vaccine strain Rac H from EHV 1 field isolates using a non-radioactive DNA probe [PDF]
A method for rapid differentiation between the EHV 1 live vaccine strain Rac H and field isolates is described. Total DNA was isolated from virus-infected small scale cell cultures.

IUPACpal: efficient identification of inverted repeats in IUPAC-encoded DNA sequences
Background An inverted repeat is a DNA sequence followed downstream by its reverse complement, potentially with a gap in the centre. Inverted repeats are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes and they have been linked with countless possible ...
