and cell size or nucleus size [1–3,4•], the latter being the characteristic that most uniformly correlates with genome size. As with all complex characteristics, however, genome size is probably controlled by a variety of factors of varying importance in different organisms. These correlation...
Strong purifying selection is considered a major evolutionary force behind small microbial genomes in the resource-poor photic ocean. However, very little is currently known about how the size of prokaryotic genomes evolves in the global ocean and whethe
Translated genomes of different organisms were used as reference when performing the homology-based genomic annotation. Thus, an analysis of the phylogenetic distribution of those genes was performed. The approach developed for the transport systems annotation does not allow this analysis to be performed...
Recent studies have shown that the genome of different organisms is partitioned into chromatin domains, usually called topologically associated domains (TADs), which are invariable between cell types and evolutionary conserved in related species1. To understand TAD formation, researchers had focused on ...
Flow cytometry (FCM) techniques have enabled characterization of the genome size for various plant species. In order to measure the nuclear genome size of a species, reference standards with well-established DNA content are necessary. However, different 2C-values have been described for the same ...
of polyploidy than their low latitude/altitude counterparts6,10,11,23. This trend is consistent with the different reproduction strategies (r- and K-strategies) commonly associated with different thermal regimes18. The rapid metabolism and high developmental rates of short-lived r-selected organisms ...
2 Features of genome organization In order for the genome to function properly, packaging of genetic material into the nucleus must allow for dynamic DNA-templated processes like transcription, replication, and repair. A variety of studies conducted in different cellular and organismal contexts have be...
the isolates were always from different species. Our objective was to sequence at least one genome for each species identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). For species commonly found in either symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals...
b The barplot represents the number of genes in different categories of orthologous groups. Source data are provided as Supplementary Data 1. Full size image Differentially enriched protein domains By comparing the eight parmalean and five diatom genomes, we found 60 and 319 InterPro domains in ...
These features can be recognized by sequence homology as genes from different organisms are often highly conserved, so that the amino acid composition is highly similar to those from known organisms. Moreover, genes need to be translated into functional proteins. This translation process requires ...
