Computerized meiotic mapping in Aspergillus nidulans.
نویسنده
چکیده
A computer system for the storage and processing of microbial meiotic data has been developed. Based on the language Fortran 4, the program retrieves relevant data and determines the order, map distances, and coefficient of coincidence for any three-gene group. Meiotic data from Aspergillus nidulans were used to test the program. A total of 61 three-gene sequences were processed, and the results were found to be compatible with the published values. The advantages and disadvantages of computer analysis for genetic analysis are discussed.

Asexual recombination in a uvsH mutant of Aspergillus nidulans.
Mutations in the gene uvsH of Aspergillus nidulans result in increased spontaneous chromosome instability and increased intragenic and intergenic mitotic recombination in homozygous diploids. The aim of the present work was to obtain a uvs mutant of A. nidulans and to use it for the isolation of asexual recombinants (parameiotic segregants). The mutant uvsH, named B511, showed normal frequency ...
متن کاملSexual origins of British Aspergillus nidulans isolates.
Aspergillus nidulans is a holomorphic fungus, capable of producing both meiotically and mitotically derived spores. Meiosis may be an evolutionary relic in this species because it is potentially capable of mitotic recombination and because most Aspergilli lack the ability to produce meiotic spores. We tested the null hypothesis that meiosis has been a major factor in the origin of strains of A....
متن کاملNovel Telomere-Anchored PCR Approach for Studying Sexual Stage Telomeres in Aspergillus nidulans
Telomere length varies between germline and somatic cells of the same organism, leading to the hypothesis that telomeres are lengthened during meiosis. However, little is known about the meiotic telomere length in many organisms. In the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, the telomere lengths in hyphae and asexual spores are invariant. No study using existing techniques has determined the ...
متن کاملRNA silencing in Aspergillus nidulans is independent of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases.
The versatility of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRPs) in eukaryotic gene silencing is perhaps best illustrated in the kingdom Fungi. Biochemical and genetic studies of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Neurospora crassa show that these types of enzymes are involved in a number of fundamental gene-silencing processes, including heterochromatin regulation and RNA silencing in S. pombe and meiotic ...
متن کاملInfluence of chromosomal aberrations on meiotic and mitotic nondisjunction in Aspergillus nidulans.
ANALYSIS of all types of mitotic segregants from diploids of Aspergillus nidulans with non-selective methods has shown that among conidia aneuploids resulting from mitotic nondisjunction occur with a relatively high frequency of 1-2% (GFER 1961). It seemed interesting to find out whether meiotic nondisjunction is also frequent in this species. In haploid organisms the only products of meiotic n...
