In higher eukaryotes, the 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) is organized in tandem arrays with repeat units composed of a coding region and a non-transcribed spacer sequence (NTS). These tandem arrays can be found on either one ...

Mass disasters represent a challenging forensic task when victims need to be identified. A wide variety of multiple scenarios force a systematic classification of disasters. The retrieval of human remains, leading to the ...

B chromosomes are additional chromosomes widely studied in a diversity of eukaryotic groups, including fungi, plants and animals, but their origin, evolution and possible functions are not clearly understood. To further ...

Trypanosoma cruzi has about 10(5) Copies of a 195 bp repeat, called satellite DNA, which correspond to about 10% of the total DNA. Since very little is known about satellite distribution and function in this and in many ...
