Repetitive Elements in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Transcriptional Regulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Transcriptional regulation, a multiple-step process, is still poorly understood in the important pig pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Basic motifs like promoters and terminators have already been described, but no other cis-regulatory elements have ...

Draft Genome Sequences of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Dublin Strains from St. Nectaire and Morbier Cheeses Characterized by Multilocus Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis Profiles Associated with Two Fatal Outbreaks in France [PDF]

, 2019
We report here the draft genome sequences of 2 Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Dublin strains from St. Nectaire and Morbier cheeses having multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) profiles identified during the fatal outbreaks

Nanopore Sequencing Resolves Elusive Long Tandem-Repeat Regions in Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Long non-coding, tandem-repetitive regions in mitochondrial (mt) genomes of many metazoans have been notoriously difficult to characterise accurately using conventional sequencing methods. Here, we show how the use of a third-generation (long-read) sequencing and informatic approach can overcome this problem.

RNA biology of disease-associated microsatellite repeat expansions

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2017
Microsatellites, or simple tandem repeat sequences, occur naturally in the human genome and have important roles in genome evolution and function. However, the expansion of microsatellites is associated with over two dozen neurological diseases. A common

Amplification and adaptation of centromeric repeats in polyploid switchgrass species. [PDF]

, 2018
Centromeres in most higher eukaryotes are composed of long arrays of satellite repeats from a single satellite repeat family. Why centromeres are dominated by a single satellite repeat and how the satellite repeats originate and evolve are among the most

IMPACT OF TANDEM REPEATS ON THE SCALING OF NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES [PDF]

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2006
Techniques such as detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and its extensions have been widely used to determine the nature of scaling in nucleotide sequences. In this brief communication we show that tandem repeats which are ubiquitous in nucleotide sequences can prevent reliable estimation of possible long-range correlations. Therefore, it is important

Chickens possess centromeres with both extended tandem repeats and short non-tandem-repetitive sequences [PDF]

Genome Research, 2010
The centromere is essential for faithful chromosome segregation by providing the site for kinetochore assembly. Although the role of the centromere is conserved throughout evolution, the DNA sequences associated with centromere regions are highly divergent among species and it remains to be determined how centromere DNA directs kinetochore formation ...

Intragenic tandem repeat variation between Legionella pneumophila strains

BMC Microbiology, 2008
Background Bacterial genomes harbour a large number of tandem repeats, yet the possible phenotypic effects of those found within the coding region of genes are only beginning to be examined.

Identification and Monitoring of Nucleotide Repeat Expansions Using Southern Blotting in Drosophila Models of C9orf72 Motor Neuron Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia

Bio-Protocol, 2022
Repeat expansion diseases, including fragile X syndrome, Huntington’s disease, and C9orf72-related motor neuron disease and frontotemporal dementia, are a group of disorders associated with polymorphic expansions of tandem repeat nucleotide sequences ...

Detection and diversity of a putative novel heterogeneous polymorphic proline-glycine repeat (Pgr) protein in the footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus [PDF]

, 2010
Dichelobacter nodosus, a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is the essential causative agent of footrot in sheep. Currently, depending on the clinical presentation in the field, footrot is described as benign or virulent; D.
