Genomic Selective Constraints in Murid Noncoding DNA
Recent work has suggested that there are many more selectively constrained, functional noncoding than coding sites in mammalian genomes. However, little is known about how selective constraint varies amongst different classes of noncoding DNA. We estimated the magnitude of selective constraint on a large dataset of mouse-rat gene orthologs and their surrounding noncoding DNA. Our analysis indic...
متن کاملMeiotic 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 کاملHighly similar noncoding genomic DNA sequences: ultraconserved, or merely widespread?
In this note, I propose an explanation for the seeming contradiction between bioinformatics-based predictions of an essential function for ultraconserved DNA sequences, and the lack of an experimental demonstration of such function.
متن کاملEvolution of the genomic recombination rate in murid rodents.
Although very closely related species can differ in their fine-scale patterns of recombination hotspots, variation in the average genomic recombination rate among recently diverged taxa has rarely been surveyed. We measured recombination rates in eight species that collectively represent several temporal scales of divergence within a single rodent family, Muridae. We used a cytological approach...
متن کاملOptimization of the genomic DNA extraction in some mosses
The presence of organic compounds and high amount of secondary metabolites (polysaccharides, phenolic component, etc.) in mosses cause difficulties in DNA extraction that are followed by problems in PCR reactions. In lower plants, various methods have been used for DNA extraction including silica gel and different commercial kits. These methods mostly use hazardous (like phenol or liquid nitrog...
