Molecular characterization of the MT-family of dispersed middle-repetitive DNA in rodent genomes.

چکیده
We report the consensus sequence of members of a new dispersed middle-repetitive DNA family, MT, which is present in mouse and rat genomes. This family is shown to be as abundant as the described rodent B1 and B2 families. Hybridization experiments with radioactive single-stranded cDNAs from different tissues indicate that MT sequences are more abundantly cotranscribed in parts of the brain than other repetitive families.

Molecular Characterization of a Cloned Dolphin Mitochondrial Genome
DNA clones have been isolated that span the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the dolphin. Cephalorhynchus commersonii. Hybridization experiments with purified primate mtDNA probes have established that there is close resemblance in the general organization of the dolphin mt genome and the terrestrial mammalian mt genomes. Sequences covering 2381 bp of the dolphin mt genome from the major n...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of a putative transposable retroelement from the Zea genus with internal clusters of tandem repeats.
The molecular characterization of a recently discovered family of long repetitive sequences, termed ZLRS, is described. These elements belong to the class of moderate dispersed repetitive DNA and are specific to the Zea genus. An 8089-bp sequence from a Zea diploperennis ZLRS element have been elucidated. Sequence analysis reveals the presence of a long terminal repeat-like region, two clusters...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of this work was the identification and molecular characterization of novel sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) repetitive sequences to unravel the impact of repetitive DNA on size and evolution of Beta genomes via amplification and diversification. METHODS Genomic DNA and a pool of B. vulgaris repetitive sequences were separately used as probes for a screening of high-dens...
متن کاملIsolation and molecular characterization of the RecQsim gene in Arabidopsis, rice (Oryza sativa) and rape (Brassica napus)
In any organism that reproduces sexually, DNA Recombination plays vital roles in the generation of allelic diversity as well as in preservation of genome fidelity. Genome fidelity is particularly important in plants because mutations occurring during the development of flowering plants are heritable and can be passed onto the next generation. One of the gene families that play crucial roles in ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and DNA methylation profile of Libyodrilus violaceous from oil polluted soil
Studies on earthworms using molecular markers are rare in Africa except a handful from South Africa. Reports on Libyodrilus violaceous,an earthworm found in West Africaare available including their metal tolerance and bioaccumulation capacity but their molecular characterization and ecotoxicology studies are scarce. In this study, triplicate L. violaceous specimens were collec...
