[2••]), but an additional major driver shaping variation ingenome sizein plants is whole-genome duplication (WGD; also known aspolyploidy, see Box for glossary of terms). Moreover,genome structureand gene content in plants are intimately tied to the history of WGD. We therefore contend...
The origin and radiation of flowering plants (angiosperms) in the mid-Cretaceous was famously referred to by Charles Darwin as “an abominable mystery”1,2. Presently, angiosperms encompass over 90% of all living plant species, with approximately 350,000 known species, making them the most succes...
we sequenced the whole genomes of a male (ZZ) and a female (ZW) half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). In addition to insights into adaptation to a benthic
DNA replication of simple repeat sequences is difficult, resulting in the accumulation of mutations at these sites which, as a result, are highly polymorphic in human populations [18,19,20]. These simple repeats are also a challenge to sequence accurately as these technical sequencing errors can ...
Pangenomes provide access to an accurate representation of the genetic diversity of species, both in terms of sequence polymorphisms and structural variants (SVs). Here we generated the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Reference Assembly Panel (ScRAP) comprising reference-quality genomes for 142 strains representin...
Candidate nematicidal proteins in a new Pseudomonas veronii isolate identified by its antagonic properties against Pseudomonas veronii. J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol. 2016. doi: 10.2323/jgam.2016.07.001. King EO, Ward MK, Raney DE. Two simple media for the demonstration of pyocyanin and fluorescein. ...
(>90%). Segmental duplications should not be confused with simple genomic repeats which are present in higher copy number, are usually shorter, and have other mechanisms of propagation in a genome (Sup. Figure 1). In the human genome, the segmental duplications defined this way mostly comprise...
The most common type of tandem repeat had period sizes of 42, 14 and 12, which totaled 42% of all tandem repeats found in the mitochondrial genome (Additional file 3: Table S3). Simple sequence repeat sequences We found 250 SSRs in the perennial ryegrass mitochondrial genome including 23, ...
With the rapid advancements in spatial transcriptome sequencing, multiple tissue slices are now available, enabling the integration and interpretation of spatial cellular landscapes. Herein, we introduce SpaDo, a tool for multi-slice spatial domain analy
As a consequence of its key role in male sex determination, the Y chromosome has unique genetic properties that lead to it carrying highly informative haplotypes that evolve largely through the simple accumulation of mutations. Advances in technology have allowed ~10 Mb of Y-chromosome DNA to be...
