DNA Sequence of the Major Inverted Repeat in the Varicella-Zoster Virus Genome
The major inverted repeat of 7319.5 base pairs is present at an internal site in the varicella-zoster virus genome and at one terminus. A DNA sequence of 7747 base pairs containing the repeat was determined and analysed. The G + C content of the repeat is not uniform, and is significantly higher than that of adjacent unique regions. The repeat contains

Isolation of inverted repeat sequences, including IS1, IS2, and IS3, in Escherichia coli plasmids.
A method is described for isolation of inverted repeat DNA sequences that occur in E. coli plasmids. The procedures of the isolation involved: (a) denaturation of intact plasmid DNA, (b) a rapid, 30 sec, renaturation of inverted-repeat sequences in the ...

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

Inverted duplications, also known as foldback inversions, are commonly observed in cancers and are the major class of chromosome rearrangement recovered from yeast cells lacking Mre11 nuclease activity. Foldback priming at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs)

Extraordinary features in the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast genome: (1) rps2 as part of a large open reading frame; (2) a C. reinhardtii specific repeat sequence [PDF]
We have determined the DNA sequence of the 3574-bp chloroplast DNA fragment of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii formed by the overlap of BamHI fragment 3 and EcoRI fragment 5.

Complex Analyses of Short Inverted Repeats in All Sequenced Chloroplast DNAs [PDF]
Chloroplasts are key organelles in the management of oxygen in algae and plants and are therefore crucial for all living beings that consume oxygen. Chloroplasts typically contain a circular DNA molecule with nucleus-independent replication and heredity. Using “palindrome analyser” we performed complete analyses of short inverted repeats (S-IRs) in all

Inverted Repeats in Viral Genomes [PDF]
We investigate 738 complete genomes of viruses to detect the presence of short inverted repeats. The number of inverted repeats found is compared with the prediction obtained for a Bernoullian and for a Markovian control model. We find as a statistical regularity that the number of observed inverted repeats is often greater than the one expected in ...

Characterization of inverted repeated sequences in wheat nuclear DNA
The properties of inverted repeated sequences in wheat nuclear DNA have been studied by HAP(1) chromatography, nuclease S1 digestion and electron microscopy. Inverted repeated sequences comprise 1.7% of wheat genome. The HAP studies show that the amount of "foldback HAP bound DNA" depends on DNA length.
