Meiotic recombination, noncoding DNA and genomic organization in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The genetic map of each Caenorhabditis elegans chromosome has a central gene cluster (less pronounced on the X chromosome) that contains most of the mutationally defined genes. Many linkage group termini also have clusters, though involving fewer loci. We examine the factors shaping the genetic map by analyzing the rate of recombination and gene density across the genome using the positions of ...
متن کاملStudies on Acanthocheilonema viteae cystatin: Genomic organization, promoter studies and expression in Caenorhabditis elegans
Cystatins are reversible, tightly binding inhibitors of cysteine proteases. Filarial cystatins have been ascribed immunomodulatory properties and have been implicated in protective immunity. To continue exploration of this potential, here we have determined the sequence, structure and genomic organization of the cystatin gene locus of A. viteae. The gene is composed of 4 exons separated by 3 in...
متن کاملWidespread Genomic Incompatibilities in Caenorhabditis elegans
In the Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller (BDM) model of speciation, incompatibilities emerge from the deleterious interactions between alleles that are neutral or advantageous in the original genetic backgrounds, i.e., negative epistatic effects. Within species such interactions are responsible for outbreeding depression and F2 (hybrid) breakdown. We sought to identify BDM incompatibilities in the nema...
متن کاملMaternal-effect lethal mutations on linkage group II of Caenorhabditis elegans.
We have analyzed a set of linkage group (LG) II maternal-effect lethal mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans isolated by a new screening procedure. Screens of 12,455 F1 progeny from mutagenized adults resulted in the recovery of 54 maternal-effect lethal mutations identifying 29 genes. Of the 54 mutations, 39 are strict maternal-effect mutations defining 17 genes. These 17 genes fall into two cla...
متن کاملQuantitative PCR approach to SNP detection and linkage mapping in Caenorhabditis elegans.
I report a method for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection and linkage mapping in Caenorhabditis elegans using automated oligonucleotide design and fluorescence-based quantitative PCR detection. Nine hundred twenty-three oligonucleotide pairs were designed to produce small products of <150 bp for efficient amplification in a PCR, with one oligonucleotide of each pair overlapping a SNP...
