چکیده

human mitochondrial dna (mtdna) is 16,569 base pairs (bp) in length, coding for 37 genes. during the course of evolution, nearly all the genes expressing ribosomal proteins and ribosomal rnas (rrna) genes have been transferred from the mitochondria to the nucleus. however, mitochondrial dna contains two ribosomal rnas genes (12s and 16s), which have not yet transferred to the nucleus. these two, should, soon or later, end up in the nucleus. what does the future likely hold for these genes? in the nucleus everything has already been prepared, since all of the ribosomal protein genes are now chromosomally encoded, and nucleolar organizers, the nucleolus, and 45 rdna are developed waiting for 12s rrna and 16s rrna genes to join them, thus enabling the formation of the third dna-containing organelle, the ribosomal compartment. what could be the reason for this major event in the existence of life on earth as it is currently understood? the advent of the ribosomal organelle will likely have an enormous impact on reproductive characteristics and on intellectual (thoughts, abstract and complex ideas, imagination, dreams, spirit) activity of the brain. could this be the answer to the question: are humans still evolving?

The Phylogeny of Calligonum and Pteropyrum (Polygonaceae) Based on Nuclear Ribosomal DNA ITS and Chloroplast trnL-F Sequences

This study represents phylogenetic analyses of two woody polygonaceous genera Calligonum and Pteropyrum using both chloroplast fragment (trnL-F) and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA ITS) sequence data. All inferred phylogenies using parsimony and Bayesian methods showed that Calligonum and Pteropyrum are both monophyletic and closely related taxa. They have no affinity w...

DNA binding by the ribosomal DNA transcription factor rrn3 is essential for ribosomal DNA transcription.

The human homologue of yeast Rrn3 is an RNA polymerase I-associated transcription factor that is essential for ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription. The generally accepted model is that Rrn3 functions as a bridge between RNA polymerase I and the transcription factors bound to the committed template. In this model Rrn3 would mediate an interaction between the mammalian Rrn3-polymerase I complex an...

the 18s ribosomal dna sequence of strongyloides stercoralis in iran

background : strongyloides stercoralis is a prevalent parasite in some rural areas in the north of iran. we decided to investigate whether the 18s ribosomal dna sequence of the parasite in iran is similar to the findings of the other re­searchers. methods :  we collected 3514 stool samples from gilan and mazandaran, northern iran, during the year 2005-2006, from which 96 were found infected wit...

Ribosomal DNA and the Phylogeny of Frogs

Phylogenetic analysis of 1656 aligned sites in the 28S ribosomal RNA gene of frogs supports some of the recently recognized higher groups of anurans but provides counter-support for others. The 28S rDNA data support the monophyly of the recently recognized Pipanura (mesobatrachians plus neobatrachians), which in turn indicates paraphyly of archaeobatrachians. Mesobatrachians (pelobatoids plus p...

Phylogeny of Ononis in Iran using nuclear ribosomal DNA and chloroplast sequence data

The genus Ononis,embraces more than 85 species worldwide. In the present study, materials of two subspecies of O. spinosa from different localities of Iran alongside some other native species of the genus were included in phylogenetic analyses. In addition, over 50 accessions were obtained from GenBank. In order to clarify the exact number of subspecies of O. spinosa in Iran, datasets were obta...

Heterogeneity of pumpkin ribosomal DNA.

The ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of Cucurbita pepo L. has been found to consist of tandemly arrayed repeat units, most of which are 10 kilobases in length. Thirty-six repeat units, cloned into the HindIII site of pACYC 177, fall into seven classes which differ from each other in length and/or nucleotide sequence. Most of the heterogeneity occurs in noncoding portions of the repeat unit although there i...
