Sequence Complexity of Chromosome 3 in Caenorhabditis elegans

چکیده

The nucleotide sequences complexity in chromosome 3 of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is studied. The complexity of these sequences is compared with some random sequences. Moreover, by using some parameters related to complexity such as fractal dimension and frequency, indicator matrix is given a first classification of sequences of C. elegans. In particular, the sequences with highest and lowest fractal value are singled out. It is shown that the intrinsic nature of the low fractal dimension sequences has many common features with the random sequences.

Identification of a homeobox-containing gene located between lin-45 and unc-24 on chromosome IV in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Using two primers corresponding to helix 1 and helix 3 regions in the homeodomain, we subjected genomic DNA from Caenorhabditis elegans to amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. Sequence analysis of the amplified products revealed a new homeobox-containing gene, designated ceh-19. This gene was located between lin-45 and unc-24 on chromosome IV where no homeogene has previously been ma...

Determination of the effects of food preservatives benzoic acid and sodium nitrate on lifespan, fertility and physical growth in Caenorhabditis elegans

Presently, the use of protective food additives such as benzoic acid and sodium nitrate is quite common. However, it was found that these additives, which initially appeared to be harmless, led to the emergence of a number of health problems. Cancer and diseases and deaths with no apparent causes are among the leading concerns. Therefore, the studies which can reveal the genotoxic potential of ...

Homologous and unique G protein alpha subunits in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

A cDNA corresponding to a known G protein alpha subunit, the alpha subunit of Go (Go alpha), was isolated and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence of C. elegans Go alpha is 80-87% identical to other Go alpha sequences. An mRNA that hybridizes to the C. elegans Go alpha cDNA can be detected on Northern blots. A C. elegans protein that crossreacts with antibovine Go alpha antibody can be ...

Continuous exchange of sequence information between dispersed Tc1 transposons in the Caenorhabditis elegans genome.

In a genome-wide analysis of the active transposons in Caenorhabditis elegans we determined the localization and sequence of all copies of each of the six active transposon families. Most copies of the most active transposons, Tc1 and Tc3, are intact but individually have a unique sequence, because of unique patterns of single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The sequence of each of the 32 Tc1 element...
