Palindromic repetitive DNA elements with coding potential in Methanocaldococcus jannaschii.
We have identified 141 novel palindromic repetitive elements in the genome of euryarchaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii. The total length of these elements is 14.3kb, which corresponds to 0.9% of the total genomic sequence and 6.3% of all extragenic regions. The elements can be divided into three groups (MJRE1-3) based on the sequence similarity. The low sequence identity within each of the gr...
متن کاملPrediction of genome-wide DNA methylation in repetitive elements
DNA methylation in repetitive elements (RE) suppresses their mobility and maintains genomic stability, and decreases in it are frequently observed in tumor and/or surrogate tissues. Averaging methylation across RE in genome is widely used to quantify global methylation. However, methylation may vary in specific RE and play diverse roles in disease development, thus averaging methylation across ...
متن کاملLoss of the mitochondrial nucleoid protein, Abf2p, destabilizes repetitive DNA in the yeast mitochondrial genome.
Loss of Abf2p, an abundant mitochondrial nucleoid-associated protein, results in increased mitochondrial frameshifts and direct-repeat mediated deletions but has no effect on the rate of mitochondrial point mutations. The instability of repeated sequences in this strain may be linked to the loss of mitochondrial DNA in abf2-Delta strains.
متن کاملPalindromic Genes in the Linear Mitochondrial Genome of the Nonphotosynthetic Green Alga Polytomella magna
Organelle DNA is no stranger to palindromic repeats. But never has a mitochondrial or plastid genome been described in which every coding region is part of a distinct palindromic unit. While sequencing the mitochondrial DNA of the nonphotosynthetic green alga Polytomella magna, we uncovered precisely this type of genic arrangement. The P. magna mitochondrial genome is linear and made up entirel...
متن کاملRepetitive extragenic palindromic sequences in the Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 genome: extragenic signals for genome reannotation.
Repetitive extragenic palindromic (REPs) sequences were first described in enterobacteriacea and later in Pseudomonas putida. We have detected a new variant (51 base pairs) of REP sequences that appears to be disseminated in more than 300 copies in the Pseudomonas syringae DC3000 genome. The finding of REP sequences in P. syringae confirms the broad presence of this type of repetitive sequence ...
