Genetic Links between Recombination and Speciation
Meiosis distinguishes cells in the germ line from their somatic counterparts. Part of meiosis involves a bizarre series of events in which cells deliberately damage their DNA and then repair it. Of the many double-strand breaks that are generated, a minority are resolved as reciprocal exchanges between homologous chromosomes [1]. In a wide variety of species, recombination diversifies genomes a...
متن کاملRecombination and the nature of bacterial speciation.
Genetic surveys reveal the diversity of bacteria and lead to the questioning of species concepts used to categorize bacteria. One difficulty in defining bacterial species arises from the high rates of recombination that results in the transfer of DNA between relatively distantly related bacteria. Barriers to this process, which could be used to define species naturally, are not apparent. Here, ...
متن کاملImmunologic and genetic links between spondylarthropathies and inflammatory bowel diseases.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a well recognized extraintestinal manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs), either Crohn's Disease(CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC). A much larger percentage of SpA patients have subclinical gut inflammation manifested either by endoscopic findings or by histology. The aim of the present article is to review clinical and experimental ...
متن کاملGenetic links between circulating cells and cardiovascular risk.
Although algorithms such as the Framingham Risk Score have been instrumental in helping to stratify cardiovascular disease (CVD) susceptibility, it is estimated that 15% to 20% of patients presenting with myocardial infarction (MI) may lack any history of traditional risk factors.1 These and other observations have prompted investigators to develop additional biological and genetic assays that ...
متن کاملGenetic links between bacterial dynamin and flotillin proteins
Dynamin is a membrane-associated GTPase that confers motor-like functions in membrane dynamics, such as endocytosis, in eukaryotic cells. Flotillin (reggie) proteins are also a widely conserved class of membrane proteins, associated with the formation of protein assemblies within the membrane, and with endocytotic processes. Bacterial dynamin has been shown to bind to membranes in vitro and to ...
