SERE, a widely dispersed bacterial repetitive DNA element.
The presence of a Salmonella serotype Enteritidis repeat element (SERE) located within the upstream regulatory region of the sefABCD operon encoding fimbrial proteins is reported. DNA dot-blot hybridisation analyses and computerised searches of genetic databases indicate that SERE is well conserved and widely distributed throughout the bacterial and archaeal kingdoms. A SERE-based polymerase ch...
متن کاملIntegrated pararetroviral sequences define a unique class of dispersed repetitive DNA in plants.
Although integration of viral DNA into host chromosomes occurs regularly in bacteria and animals, there are few reported cases in plants, and these involve insertion at only one or a few sites. Here, we report that pararetrovirus-like sequences have integrated repeatedly into tobacco chromosomes, attaining a copy number of approximately 10(3). Insertion apparently occurred by illegitimate recom...
متن کاملAnalysis of repetitive element DNA methylation by MethyLight
Repetitive elements represent a large portion of the human genome and contain much of the CpG methylation found in normal human postnatal somatic tissues. Loss of DNA methylation in these sequences might account for most of the global hypomethylation that characterizes a large percentage of human cancers that have been studied. There is widespread interest in correlating the genomic 5-methylcyt...
متن کاملFODEM: Developing Digital Learning Environments in Widely Dispersed Learning Communities
FODEM (FOrmative DEvelopment Method) is a design method for developing digital learning environments for widely dispersed learning communities. These are communities in which the geographical distribution and density of learners is low when compared to the kind of learning communities in which there is a high distribution and density of learners (such as those that exist in urban areas where co...
متن کاملCorrelation between Exons and Dispersed Repetitive DNA Distribution on the Human Genome
The human nuclear genome contains a large number of highly repeated DNA sequences. The Alu sequences are primate specific and are the most abundant family of repeated DNA sequences in the human genome. The human Alu sequence is approximate 300 bp long [2]. The L1 sequence is a long interspersed nuclear element. L1 is found in other mammals. Although their functions are not yet clear [4], some o...
