Topology of repeated sequences: relationship of nuclear RNA to the repeated sequences of the main and satellite DNA in mouse plasmocytoma cells.
نویسنده
چکیده
The topology of repeated sequences in mouse plasmocytoma DNA was studied by high-resolution CsCl density gradient centrifugation and heterogeneous nuclear RNA.DNA hybridization. Satellite region DNA of plasmocytoma cells contains additional components and hybridizes specifically with entire heterogeneous nuclear RNA molecules. A linkage is demonstrated between the A+T-rich satellite sequences and those hybridizing with heterogeneous nuclear RNA. Heavy DNA also hybridizes specifically with heterogeneous nuclear RNA molecules that show sequence similarity to heterogeneous nuclear RNA hybridized to satellite DNA. These results could suggest that part of satellite DNA became heavier after integration of some other DNA species, which could belong to a virus or to immunoglobulin repetitive genes. Dispersed, highly repetitive, short nucleotide sequences could constitute recognition sites for such a process.

Growing amount of information on biological sequences has made application of statistical approaches necessary for modeling and estimation of their functions. In this paper, sensitivity and specificity of the first and second Markov chains for prediction of genes was evaluated using the complete double stranded DNA virus. There were two approaches for prediction of each Markov Model parameter,...

More than 185 species, strains and unclassified Theileria parasites are categorized in the Entrez Taxonomy. The accurate diagnosis and proper identification of the causative agents are important for understanding the epidemiology, prevention and appropriate treatment. This study aims to discuss the importance of two genes of Theileria annulata 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) and Theileria annulata...
متن کاملThe 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...

Abstract Background and Purpose: Candida parapsilosis is a common cause of candidemia in children and onco-hematologic patients as well as in patients with septic arthritis, peritonitis, vaginitis, and nail and skin infections. Here, we evaluated intra- and inter-species beta tubulin DNA sequence variation within the C. parapsilosis complex with a view to establishing its utility in the identi...
