Coexpression of linked genes in Mammalian genomes is generally disadvantageous.
Similarity in gene expression pattern between closely linked genes is known in several eukaryotes. Two models have been proposed to explain the presence of such coexpression patterns. The adaptive model assumes that coexpression is advantageous and is established by relocation of initially unlinked but coexpressed genes, whereas the neutral model asserts that coexpression is a type of leaky exp...
متن کاملMutation rates in mammalian genomes.
Knowledge of the rate of point mutation is of fundamental importance, because mutations are a vital source of genetic novelty and a significant cause of human diseases. Currently, mutation rate is thought to vary many fold among genes within a genome and among lineages in mammals. We have conducted a computational analysis of 5,669 genes (17,208 sequences) from species representing major groups...

985 Introduction Despite the ability of ion channel biophysics to provide insightful inferences regarding structural features of a given ion channel, those invested in biophysical approaches eagerly await each advance in structural information, hoping to gain clarity or validation regarding functional questions or to identify new directions to better probe and understand function. One such chan...
متن کاملMammalian Introns: When the Junk Generates Molecular Diversity
Introns represent almost half of the human genome, yet their vast majority is eliminated from eukaryotic transcripts through RNA splicing. Nevertheless, they feature key elements and functions that deserve further interest. At the level of DNA, introns are genomic segments that can shelter independent transcription units for coding and non-coding RNAs which transcription may interfere with that...
متن کاملNuclear Organization of Mammalian Genomes
We investigated the nuclear higher order compartmentalization of chromatin according to its replication timing (Ferreira et al. 1997) and the relations of this compartmentalization to chromosome structure and the spatial organization of transcription. Our aim was to provide a comprehensive and integrated view on the relations between chromosome structure and functional nuclear architecture. Usi...
