  • IS 6110 -based RFLP: This method detects variations in a specific section of the M. tuberculosis genome called insertion element IS 6110 . (cdc.gov)
  • Scott and colleagues used this approach to hypothesize that the function of the s2m element involves interaction with a conserved host factor during the SARS life cycle. (sciencedaily.com)
  • In general, herpesviruses do not have the ability to integrate into the host genomes since they do not have a chromosomal integration step in their life cycles. (pieronline.jp)
  • The M. phaseolina genome provides a framework of the infection process at the cytological and molecular level which uses a diverse arsenal of enzymatic and toxin tools to destroy the host plants. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Once the amount of heterochromatin is subtracted from total genome content, all mammals have very similar genome sizes. (wikipedia.org)
  • There is a lot of information packed into the four letters used to spell out the first dimension of the genome, but this is not even the tip of the iceberg of the total information content in the genome. (creation.com)
  • In this work we propose new computational and experimental strategies based on the physical principle of "perturb and measure" to understand the interplay of 3D genome organisation and dynamics TE integration. (unitn.eu)
  • Mobile DNA elements and the dynamics of genomes. (lu.se)
  • Further understanding of the M. phaseolina genome-based plant-pathogen interactions will be instrumental in designing rational strategies for disease control, essential to ensuring global agricultural crop production and security. (biomedcentral.com)
  • How the DNA encoding these selfish elements spreads within and between genomes is poorly understood, particularly in eukaryotes where inteins are scarce. (lu.se)
  • Each technology has strengths and limitations in its ability to detect different variations in the genome. (cdc.gov)
  • Other studies have examined variations across the entire genomes of many people (an approach called genome-wide association studies or GWAS) to determine whether any specific areas of the genome are associated with IQ. (medlineplus.gov)
