Uncovering patterns of the evolution of genomic sequence entropy and complexity
(2021-03-01)
The lack of consensus concerning the biological meaning of entropy and complexity of genomes and the different ways to assess these data hamper conclusions concerning what are the causes of genomic entropy variation among ...
Fish genomics and its impact on fundamental and applied research of vertebrate biology
(2021-01-01)
The living fishes span a unique and interesting set of animals because of their vast diversity, morphology, ecology, genetics and genomics, and higher importance to biology, economy and culture. During the past decade, the ...
Genome size versus genome assemblies: Are the genomes truly expanded in polyploid fungal symbionts?
(2020-01-01)
Each day, as the amount of genomic data and bioinformatics resources grows, researchers are increasingly challenged with selecting the most appropriate approach to analyze their data. In addition, the opportunity to undertake ...
Evolution of genome space occupation in ferns: linking genome diversity and species richness
(Oxford University Press, 2021-07)
Background and Aims:The dynamics of genome evolution caused by whole genome duplications and other processes are hypothesized to shape the diversification of plants and thus contribute to the astonishing variation in species ...
The Genome Sequence of Taurine Cattle: A Window to Ruminant Biology and Evolution
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2009-04)
To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage. The cattle genome contains a minimum of 22,000 genes, with a core set of 14,345 orthologs shared among seven ...
A practical guide for comparative genomics of mobile genetic elements in prokaryotic genomes
(2018-01-01)
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) are an important feature of prokaryote genomes but are seldom well annotated and, consequently, are often underestimated. MGEs include transposons (Tn), insertion sequences (ISs), prophages, ...
Integrating cytogenetics and genomics in comparative evolutionary studies of cichlid fish
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2012-09-09)
Background: The availability of a large number of recently sequenced vertebrate genomes opens new avenues to integrate cytogenetics and genomics in comparative and evolutionary studies. Cytogenetic mapping can offer ...
Origin and Evolution of B Chromosomes in the Cichlid Fish Astatotilapia latifasciata Based on Integrated Genomic Analyses
(Oxford Univ Press, 2014-08-01)
Approximately 15% of eukaryotes contain supernumerary B chromosomes. When present, B chromosomes frequently represent as much as 5% of the genome. Despite thousands of reports describing the distribution of supernumeraries ...
Organization of Repeated DNA Elements in the Genome of the Cichlid Fish Cichla kelberi and Its Contributions to the Knowledge of Fish Genomes
(Karger, 2009-01-01)
Repeated DNA elements have been extensively applied as physical chromosome markers in comparative studies for the identification of chromosomal rearrangements, the identification of sex chromosomes, chromosome evolution ...
