Avoidance of long mononucleotide repeats in codon pair usage.
Protein is an essential component for life, and its synthesis is mediated by codons in any organisms on earth. While some codons encode the same amino acid, their usage is often highly biased. There are many factors that can cause the bias, but a potential effect of mononucleotide repeats, which are known to be highly mutable, on codon usage and codon pair preference is largely unknown. In this...
متن کاملTrinucleotide repeats are clustered in regulatory genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains numerous unstable microsatellite sequences. Mononucleotide and dinucleotide repeats are rarely found in ORFs, and when present in an ORF are frequently located in an intron or at the C terminus of the protein, suggesting that their instability is deleterious to gene function. DNA trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) are found at a higher-than-expected fre...
متن کاملQuasimonomorphic Mononucleotide Repeats for High-Level Microsatellite Instability Analysis
Microsatellite instability (MSI) analysis is becoming more and more important to detect sporadic primary tumors of the MSI phenotype as well as in helping to determine Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) cases. After some years of conflicting data due to the absence of consensus markers for the MSI phenotype, a meeting held in Bethesda to clarify the situation proposed a set of 5...
متن کاملTransposed Genes in Arabidopsis Are Often Associated with Flanking Repeats
Much of the eukaryotic genome is known to be mobile, largely due to the movement of transposons and other parasitic elements. Recent work in plants and Drosophila suggests that mobility is also a feature of many nontransposon genes and gene families. Indeed, analysis of the Arabidopsis genome suggested that as many as half of all genes had moved to unlinked positions since Arabidopsis diverged ...
متن کاملImproving sequencing quality from PCR products containing long mononucleotide repeats.
Stutter products are a common artifact in the PCR amplification of frequently used genetic markers that contain mononucleotide simple sequence repeats. Despite the importance of accurate determination of nucleotide sequence and allele size, there has been little progress toward decreasing the formation of stutter products during PCR. In this study, we tested the effects of lowered extension tem...
