Interstrand crosslinking oligonucleotides elucidate the effect of metal ions on the methylation status of repetitive DNA elements [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023 DNA methylation plays an important physiological function in cells, and environmental changes result in fluctuations in DNA methylation levels. Metal ions have become both environmental and health concerns, as they have the potential to disrupt the ...

Impact of Repetitive DNA Elements on Snake Genome Biology and Evolution [PDF]
Cells, 2021 The distinctive biology and unique evolutionary features of snakes make them fascinating model systems to elucidate how genomes evolve and how variation at the genomic level is interlinked with phenotypic-level evolution.

Substantial structural variation and repetitive DNA content contribute to intraspecific plastid genome evolution [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Plastids have highly conserved genomes in most land plants. However, in several families, plastid genomes exhibit high rates of nucleotide substitution and structural rearrangements among species.

The mechanism of replication stalling and recovery within repetitive DNA [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 DNA replication of repetitive sequences was recreated in a test tube using purified components. DNA alone was sufficient to induce stalling. Both stalling and recovery were dictated by the capacity of DNA to fold into unusual secondary structures.

Evolution of repetitive DNA in angiosperms: examples from Nicotiana allopolyploids [PDF]
, 2012 PhDAllopolyploidy, interspecific hybridisation coupled with genome multiplication, is a prevailing force in the evolution of angiosperms. This thesis examines the consequences of allopolyploidy at the genomic level.

Genome size and identification of repetitive DNA sequences using low coverage sequencing in Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae: Gentianales) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Repetitive DNA is an important component of eukaryotic genomes, accounting for more than 90% of the genome size of some species, including mobile elements and satellite DNA sequences.

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2020 The free-living flatworm Macrostomum mirumnovem is a neopolyploid species whose genome underwent a recent Whole Genome Duplication (WGD). In the result of chromosome fusions of the ancient haploid chromosome set, large metacentric chromosomes were formed.
