Mobilizable genomic islands, different strategies for the dissemination of multidrug resistance and other adaptive traits
Mobile genetic elements are near ubiquitous DNA segments that revealed a surprising variety of strategies for their propagation among prokaryotes and between eukaryotes. In bacteria, conjugative elements were shown to be key drivers of evolution and adaptation by efficiently disseminating genes involved in pathogenicity, symbiosis, metabolic pathways, and antibiotic resistance. Conjugative plas...
متن کاملPredicting CpG Islands and Their Relationship with Genomic Feature in Cattle by Hidden Markov Model Algorithm
Cattle supply an important source of nutrition for humans in the world. CpG islands (CGIs) are very important and useful, as they carry functionally relevant epigenetic loci for whole genome studies. As a matter of fact, there have been no formal analyses of CGIs at the DNA sequence level in cattle genomes and therefore this study was carried out to fill the gap. We used hidden markov model alg...
متن کاملGenomic islands of speciation or genomic islands and speciation?
Populations of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, are comprised of at least two reproductively isolated, sympatric populations. In this issue, White et al. (2010) use extensive sampling, high-density tiling microarrays, and an updated reference genome to clarify and expand our knowledge of genomic differentiation between these populations. It is now clear that DNA near the centromeres of ...
متن کاملGoing Mobile:
We empirically estimate the substitutability of fixed and mobile services for telecommunications access using a large, U.S. household survey conducted over the period 2000-2001. Estimated cross-price elasticities confirm that second fixed line and mobile services are substitutes for one another. The extent of fixed-mobile substitution has important implications for policy toward fixed network u...
متن کاملMobile communications going massive
Mobile communications have undergone an amazing development over the last few decades, with new generations coming out roughly every ten years. Each transition from one generation to the next has brought new capabilities and improved technology. The first generation was based on analogue technology and supported only traditional phone calls, while subsequent generations have become increasingly...
