Insights into structural variations and genome rearrangements in prokaryotic genomes
Structural variations (SVs) are genomic rearrangements that affect fairly large fragments of DNA. Most of the SVs such as inversions, deletions and translocations have been largely studied in context of genetic diseases in eukaryotes. However, recent studies demonstrate that genome rearrangements can also have profound impact on prokaryotic genomes, leading to altered cell phenotype. In contras...
متن کاملStructural variations in plant genomes
Differences between plant genomes range from single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale duplications, deletions and rearrangements. The large polymorphisms are termed structural variants (SVs). SVs have received significant attention in human genetics and were found to be responsible for various chronic diseases. However, little effort has been directed towards understanding the role of SVs...
متن کاملComprehensive genome analysis of 203 genomes provides structural genomics with new insights into protein family space
We present an analysis of 203 completed genomes in the Gene3D resource (including 17 eukaryotes), which demonstrates that the number of protein families is continually expanding over time and that singleton-sequences appear to be an intrinsic part of the genomes. A significant proportion of the proteomes can be assigned to fewer than 6000 well-characterized domain families with the remaining do...
متن کاملTandem Repeats in 44 Prokaryotic Genomes and Genome Evolution
Genomes are full of various types of repetitive sequences, such as microsatelite, minisatelite, interspersed repeats, tandem repeats, and so on. These repetitive sequences are replete with information that would bring about a better understanding of not only genome evolution but also gene evolution. A tandem repeat (TR) is a DNA sequence piece containing two or more consecutive homologous eleme...
متن کاملUnderstanding genome structural variations
Genome structural variations (SVs) in the human genome are defined as DNA sequence polymorphisms of at least a few dozen or few hundred bases in length and include deletions, duplications, inversions, translocation, retroelement insertions, and more complex rearrangements that could be thought of as consisting of multiple fragments from the just listed categories. More bases in a personal genom...
