Background
An avian papillomavirus genome has been cloned from a cutaneous exophytic papilloma from an African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus). The nucleotide sequence, genome organization, and phylogenetic position of the Psittacus erithacus papillomavirus (PePV) were determined. This PePV sequence represents the first complete avian papillomavirus genome defined. 相似文献3.
Background
Although Caenorhabditis elegans was the first multicellular organism with a completely sequenced genome, how this genome is arranged within the nucleus is not known. 相似文献4.

Background
The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways. This extreme level of reduction is not universal across the microsporidia, with genomes known to vary up to sixfold in size, suggesting that some genomes may harbor a gene content that is not as reduced as that of Enc. cuniculi. In this study, we present an in-depth survey of the large genome of Octosporea bayeri, a pathogen of Daphnia magna, with an estimated genome size of 24 Mb, in order to shed light on the organization and content of a large microsporidian genome. 相似文献5.
Background
Analysis of the first reported complete genome sequence ofBifidobacterium longumNCC2705, an actinobacterium colonizing the gastrointestinal tract, uncovered its proteomic relatedness toStreptomyces coelicolorandMycobacterium tuberculosis. However, a rapid scrutiny by genometric methods revealed a genome organization totally different from all so far sequenced high-GC Gram-positive chromosomes. 相似文献6.
Background
The empirical frequencies of DNA k-mers in whole genome sequences provide an interesting perspective on genomic complexity, and the availability of large segments of genomic sequence from many organisms means that analysis of k-mers with non-trivial lengths is now possible. 相似文献7.

Background
Genome degradation is an ongoing process in all members of the Rickettsiales order, which makes these bacterial species an excellent model for studying reductive evolution through interspecies variation in genome size and gene content. In this study, we evaluated the degree to which gene loss shaped the content of some Rickettsiales genomes. We shed light on the role played by horizontal gene transfers in the genome evolution of Rickettsiales. 相似文献8.

Aims
This study aimed to characterize the impact of lytic and temperate bacteriophages on the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Mannheimia haemolytica from feedlot cattle.Methods and Results
Strictly lytic phages were not detected from bovine nasopharyngeal (n = 689) or water trough (n = 30) samples, but Myoviridae‐ or Siphoviridae‐like phages were induced from 54 of 72 M. haemolytica strains by mitomycin C, occasionally from the same strain. Phages with similar restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles (RFLP ≥70% relatedness) shared common host serotypes 1 or 2 (P < 0·000 1). Likewise, phages with similar RFLP tended to occur in genetically related host bacteria (70–79% similarity). Host range assays showed that seven phages from host serotypes 1, 2 and 6 lysed representative strains of serotypes 1, 2 or 8. The genome of vB_MhM_1152AP from serotype 6 was found to be collinear with P2‐like phage φMhaA1‐PHL101.Conclusions
Prophages are a significant component of the genome of M. haemolytica and contribute significantly to host diversity. Further characterization of the role of prophage in virulence and persistence of M. haemolytica in cattle could provide insight into approaches to control this potential respiratory pathogen.Significance and Impact of the Study
This study demonstrated that prophages are widespread within the genome of M. haemolytica isolates and emphasized the challenge of isolating lytic phage as a therapeutic against this pathogen. 相似文献9.

Barcodes for genomes and applications 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Background
Each genome has a stable distribution of the combined frequency for each k-mer and its reverse complement measured in sequence fragments as short as 1000 bps across the whole genome, for 1<k<6. The collection of these k-mer frequency distributions is unique to each genome and termed the genome's barcode. 相似文献11.

Background
Molecular genetic maps provide a means to link heritable traits with underlying genome sequence variation. Several genetic maps have been constructed for Brassica species, yet to date, there has been no simple means to compare this information or to associate mapped traits with the genome sequence of the related model plant, Arabidopsis. 相似文献12.

Background
Much of thePlasmodium falciparumgenome encodes hypothetical proteins with limited homology to other organisms. A lack of robust tools for genetic manipulation of the parasite limits functional analysis of these hypothetical proteins and other aspects of thePlasmodiumgenome. Transposon mutagenesis has been used widely to identify gene functions in many organisms and would be extremely valuable for functional analysis of thePlasmodiumgenome. 相似文献13.
Background
Three complete genomes of Prochlorococcus species, the smallest and most abundant photosynthetic organism in the ocean, have recently been published. Comparative genome analyses reveal that genome shrinkage has occurred within this genus, associated with a sharp reduction in G+C content. As all examples of genome reduction characterized so far have been restricted to endosymbionts or pathogens, with a host-dependent lifestyle, the observed genome reduction in Prochlorococcus is the first documented example of such a process in a free-living organism. 相似文献14.

Background
Camelina sativa, an oilseed crop in the Brassicaceae family, has inspired renewed interest due to its potential for biofuels applications. Little is understood of the nature of the C. sativa genome, however. A study was undertaken to characterize two genes in the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway, fatty acid desaturase (FAD) 2 and fatty acid elongase (FAE) 1, which revealed unexpected complexity in the C. sativa genome. 相似文献15.

Background
Most genes introduced into phototrophic eukaryotes during the process of endosymbiosis are either lost or relocated into the host nuclear genome. In contrast, gro EL homologues are found in different genome compartments among phototrophic eukaryotes. Comparative sequence analyses of recently available genome data, have allowed us to reconstruct the evolutionary history of these genes and propose a hypothesis that explains the unusual genome distribution of gro EL homologues. 相似文献17.
Background
The composition of the individual eukaryote's genome and its variation within a species remain poorly defined. Even for a sequenced genome such as that of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana accession Col-0, the large arrays of heterochromatic repeats are incompletely sequenced, with gaps of uncertain size persisting in them. 相似文献18.

Background
Recent comparative genomic studies claim local syntenic gene-interleaving relationships in Ashbya gossypii and Kluyveromyces waltii are compelling evidence for an ancient whole-genome duplication event in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We here test, using Hannenhalli-Pevzner rearrangement algorithms that address the multiple genome rearrangement problem, whether syntenic patterns are proof of paleopolyploidization. 相似文献19.
