An Analysis of the Chromosomes of the Two Sub-Species Drosophila Virilis Virilis and Drosophila Virilis Americana.
NCREASING attention is being focused on the use of Drosophila as a I convenient organism for investigating such fundamental problems as the formation of new species and interspecific sterility. Studies of the hybrid from the cross D. melarzogasterXD. simulans by PATAU (I935), and by HORTON (1939), and D. pseudoobscuraXD. miranda by DOBZHANSKY and TAN (1936), as well as studies of the hybrids fr...
متن کاملExhaustive whole-genome tandem repeats search
MOTIVATION Approximate tandem repeats (ATR) occur frequently in the genomes of organisms, and are a source of polymorphisms observed in individuals, and thus are of interest to those studying genetic disorders. Though extensive work has been done in order to identify ATRs, there are inherent limitations with the current approaches in terms of the number of pattern sizes that can be searched or ...
متن کاملSystematic Profiling of Short Tandem Repeats in the Cattle Genome
Short tandem repeats (STRs), or microsatellites, are genetic variants with repetitive 2–6 base pair motifs in many mammalian genomes. Using high-throughput sequencing and experimental validations, we systematically profiled STRs in five Holsteins. We identified a total of 60,106 microsatellites and generated the first high-resolution STR map, representing a substantial pool of polymorphism in d...
متن کاملClassification of Tandem Repeats in the Human Genome
Tandem repeats in DNA sequences are extremely relevant in biological phenomena and diagnostic tools. Computational programs that discover these tandem repeats generate a huge volume of data, which is often difficult to decipher without further organization. In this paper, the authors describe a new method for post-processing tandem repeats through clustering and classification. Their work prese...
متن کاملGenome-wide analysis of tandem repeats in Tribolium castaneum genome reveals abundant and highly dynamic tandem repeat families with satellite DNA features in euchromatic chromosomal arms
Although satellite DNAs are well-explored components of heterochromatin and centromeres, little is known about emergence, dispersal and possible impact of comparably structured tandem repeats (TRs) on the genome-wide scale. Our bioinformatics analysis of assembled Tribolium castaneum genome disclosed significant contribution of TRs in euchromatic chromosomal arms and clear predominance of satel...
