Repetitive sequences: the hidden diversity of heterochromatin in prochilodontid fish
The structure and organization of repetitive elements in fish genomes are still relatively poorly understood, although most of these elements are believed to be located in heterochromatic regions. Repetitive elements are considered essential in evolutionary processes as hotspots for mutations and chromosomal rearrangements, among other functions - thus providing new genomic alternatives and reg...
متن کاملJunk DNA - repetitive sequences
Eukaryote and also human DNA contains large portion of noncoding sequences. As for the coding DNA, the noncoding DNA may be unique or in more identical or similar copies. DNA sequences with high copy numbers are then called repetitive sequences. If the copies of a sequence motif lie adjacent to each other in a block, or an array, we are speaking about tandem repeats, the repetitive sequences di...
متن کاملDNA Fingerprinting Based on Repetitive Sequences of Iranian Indigenous Lactobacilli Species by (GTG)5- REP-PCR
Background and Objective: The use of lactobacilli as probiotics requires the application of accurate and reliable methods for the detection and identification of bacteria at the strain level. Repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR), a DNA fingerprinting technique, has been successfully used as a powerful molecular typing method to determine taxonomic and phylogenetic relat...
متن کاملHighly repetitive DNA sequences in cyanobacterial genomes.
We characterized three distinct families of repeated sequences in the genome of the cyanobacterium Calothrix sp. strain PCC 7601. These repeated sequences were present at a level of about 100 copies per Calothrix genome and consisted of tandemly amplified heptanucleotides. These elements were named short tandemly repeated repetitive (STRR) sequences. We used the three different Calothrix STRR s...
متن کاملDifferential maintenance of DNA sequences in telomeric and centromeric heterochromatin.
Repeated DNA in heterochromatin presents enormous difficulties for whole-genome sequencing; hence, sequence organization in a significant portion of the genomes of multicellular organisms is relatively unknown. Two sequenced BACs now allow us to compare telomeric retrotransposon arrays from Drosophila melanogaster telomeres with an array of telomeric retrotransposons that transposed into the ce...
