Computational and experimental characterization of physically clustered simple sequence repeats in plants.
The type and frequency of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in plant genomes was investigated using the expanding quantity of DNA sequence data deposited in public databases. In Arabidopsis, 306 genomic DNA sequences longer than 10 kb and 36,199 EST sequences were searched for all possible mono- to pentanucleotide repeats. The average frequency of SSRs was one every 6.04 kb in genomic DNA, decreas...
متن کاملGenetic and Molecular Dissection of Blast Resistance in Rice Using RFLP, Simple Sequence Repeats and Defense-Related Candidate Gene Markers
Blast, Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc., is one of the most destructive diseases of rice worldwide and canresult in significant reductions in yield. The use of resistant cultivars is the most economical and effectiveway of controlling rice blast. A variety of DNA markers, including plant defense-related candidategene markers are available for genetic characterization and molec...
متن کاملSimple Sequence Repeats Amplification: a Tool to Survey the Genetic Background of Olive Oils
A reliable DNA extraction method for use on extra virgin olive oil based on a commercial kit was defined, and the possibility of using this DNA for fingerprinting the original cultivar was demonstrated. The genetic traceability of single-cultivar virgin olive oil from two cultivars (Carolea and Frantoio) was achieved by identifying the varieties from which they were produced. This involved the ...
متن کاملComputational characterization of the sequence landscape in simple protein alphabets.
We characterize the "sequence landscapes" in several simple, heteropolymer models of proteins by examining their mutation properties. Using an efficient flat-histogram Monte Carlo search method, our approach involves determining the distribution in energy of all sequences of a given length when threaded through a common backbone. These calculations are performed for a number of Protein Data Ban...
متن کاملSimple sequence repeats in Haemophilus influenzae
Simple sequence repeat (SSRs) of DNA are subject to high rates of mutation and are important mediators of adaptation in Haemophilus influenzae. Previous studies of the Rd KW20 genome identified the primacy of tetranucleotide SSRs in mediating phase variation (the rapid reversible switching of gene expression) of surface exposed structures such as lipopolysaccharide. The recent sequencing of the...
