Discrepancy variation of dinucleotide microsatellite repeats in eukaryotic genomes.
To address whether there are differences of variation among repeat motif types and among taxonomic groups, we present here an analysis of variation and correlation of dinucleotide microsatellite repeats in eukaryotic genomes. Ten taxonomic groups were compared, those being primates, mammalia (excluding primates and rodentia), rodentia, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles, insects, molluscs, pl...
متن کاملAC and AG dinucleotide repeats in the PAX6 P1 promoter are associated with high myopia
PURPOSE The PAX6 gene, located at the reported myopia locus MYP7 on chromosome 11p13, was postulated to be associated with myopia development. This study investigated the association of PAX6 with high myopia in 379 high myopia patients and 349 controls. METHODS High myopia patients had refractive errors of -6.00 diopters or greater and axial length longer than 26 mm. Control subjects had refr...
متن کاملLong perfect dinucleotide repeats are typical of vertebrates, show motif preferences and size convergence.
Microsatellites are simple sequence repeats (SSRs) showing complex patterns of length, motif sizes, motif sequences, and repeat perfection. We studied the structure of the dinucleotide SSR population at the genome level by analyzing assembled DNA sequence across species. Three dinucleotide populations were distinguished when SSR genome frequency was analyzed as a function of repeat length and r...
متن کاملGenealogical inference from microsatellite data.
Ease and accuracy of typing, together with high levels of polymorphism and widespread distribution in the genome, make microsatellite (or short tandem repeat) loci an attractive potential source of information about both population histories and evolutionary processes. However, microsatellite data are difficult to interpret, in particular because of the frequency of back-mutations. Stochastic m...
متن کاملMICdb3.0: a comprehensive resource of microsatellite repeats from prokaryotic genomes
The MICdb is a comprehensive relational database of perfect microsatellites extracted from completely sequenced and annotated genomes of bacteria and archaea. The current version MICdb3.0 is an updated and revised version of MICdb2.0. As compared with the previous version MICdb2.0, the current release is significantly improved in terms of much larger coverage of genomes, improved presentation o...
