Relation between Gene Content and Taxonomy in Chloroplasts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study is to investigate the relation that can be found between the phylogeny of a large set of complete chloroplast genomes, and the evolution of gene content inside these sequences. Core and pan genomes have been computed on de novo annotation of these 845 genomes, the former being used for producing well-supported phylogenetic tree while the latter provides information regarding the evolution of gene contents over time. It details too the specificity of some branches of the tree, when specificity is obtained on accessory genes. After having detailed the material and methods, we emphasize some remarkable relation between well-known events of the chloroplast history, like endosymbiosis, and the evolution of gene contents over the phylogenetic tree.

Bovine chymosin enzyme is one of the most commonly used enzymes in the dairy industry. The production of this enzyme from its natural source does not meet the needs of this huge industry. The production of recombinant bovine chymosin in plants can be a good alternative to native enzyme. Insertion and expression of foreign genes in plants can occur in the nucleus and chloroplast organelles. The ...

Plastid engineering gives numerous benefits for the next generation of transgenic technology, consisting of the convenient use of transgene stacking and the production of high expression levels of recombinant proteins. Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPin) are relatively small non-immunoglobulin scaffold proteins that bind to their specific target with high affinity. The G3 is a type of DAR...
