Unique Features of Tandem Repeats in Bacteria [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2020
We found an enigmatic group of noncoding satellites in 85 bacterial genomes with a constant repeat size but variable sequence. This pattern of DNA organization is unique and had not been previously described in bacteria. These findings strongly suggest that satellite size in some bacteria is under strong selective constraints and thus that satellites ...

Development and validation of LAMP primer sets for rapid identification of Aspergillus fumigatus carrying the cyp51A TR46 azole resistance gene

Scientific Reports, 2021
Infections due to triazole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus are increasingly reported worldwide and are associated with treatment failure and mortality. The principal class of azole-resistant isolates is characterized by tandem repeats of 34 bp or 46 bp ...

Comparative Geometrical Analysis of Leucine-Rich Repeat Structures in the Nod-Like and Toll-Like Receptors in Vertebrate Innate Immunity

Biomolecules, 2015
The NOD-like receptors (NLRs) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that are involved in the innate, pathogen pattern recognition system.

Double String Tandem Repeats [PDF]

, 2020
A tandem repeat is an occurrence of two adjacent identical substrings. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a double string, which consists of two parallel strings, and we study the problem of locating all tandem repeats in a double string.

NanoSatellite: accurate characterization of expanded tandem repeat length and sequence through whole genome long-read sequencing on PromethION

Genome Biology, 2019
Technological limitations have hindered the large-scale genetic investigation of tandem repeats in disease. We show that long-read sequencing with a single Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION flow cell per individual achieves 30× human genome ...

Insight into role of selection in the evolution of polyglutamine tracts in humans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Glutamine tandem repeats are common in eukaryotic proteins. Although some studies have proposed that replication slippage plays an important role in shaping these repeats, the role of natural selection in glutamine tandem repeat evolution is somewhat ...

FISH landmarks reflecting meiotic recombination and structural alterations of chromosomes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background DNA sequence composition affects meiotic recombination. However, the correlation between tandem repeat composition and meiotic recombination in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is unclear.

A Census of Tandemly Repeated Polymorphic Loci in Genic Regions Through the Comparative Integration of Human Genome Assemblies

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Polymorphic Tandem Repeat (PTR) is a common form of polymorphism in the human genome. A PTR consists in a variation found in an individual (or in a population) of the number of repeating units of a Tandem Repeat (TR) locus of the genome with respect to ...
