Because genes are intimately linked to the entire character of an organism, its form and its function, it follows that variations in the chromosome makeup or number should provide some information about the rel

Detection of mcrA functional gene suggests Metha- nosaeta (64%) was still the dominant organism. mcrA gene affiliated with Methanomicrobiales was detected but not in 16S rRNA gene clone library. This may be due to the too little of Methanomicrobiales in the system. In a...
Using the model systemDrosophila melanogasteras an example to summarize the complement of homeobox genes in a single organism (Fig.2, Sup. Fig.S1) we find that a large fraction is made up of ANTP (46 %) and PRD-LIKE (18 %) homeobox genes (Table1). The remaining fraction (36 %) is...
Metatranscriptomics generates large volumes of sequence data about transcribed genes in natural environments. Taxonomic annotation of these datasets depends on availability of curated reference sequences. For marine microbial eukaryotes, current reference libraries are limited by gaps in sequenced organism diver...
Briefly, FASTA sequences of all identified proteins were retrieved from Uniprot ID mapping online tool, and were used as inputs into the Outcyte online tool (version 1.0; http://www.outcyte.com/) [56] and SignalP in Eukarya organism (version 6.0; https://services...
and shed light on the functional consequences ofD. mojavensisinversions. Overall, our results suggest that rapid chromosomal evolution inD. mojavensisis not due to an increase in the rate of inversion generation but to its adaptation to the extremely harsh environment of the Sonoran Desert that was...
Selectivity remains a central concern with a fish, as it is with any other organism introduced for biological control. Will the grass carp prefer and eat selectively the weeds those who introduce it wish to control? Will the fish consider a species desirable that a Department of Natural Resource...
Genomics is the study of an organism’s genome and its structure, function, and evolution. Genomic tools can be used to study genetic diversity in a population, the understanding of which provides strategies for the genetic selection of desirable traits. Genome science has developed rapidly in the...
