• The results reveal that lncRNA occupancy sites are focal and sequence-specific with a particular enrichment for several parasite-specific gene families, including those involved in pathogenesis and sexual differentiation. (bvsalud.org)
  • Such sequence information can address not only this question but also many others related to the influence of selection on gene families. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The variable expression of Vomp family members appears to be mediated by deletion of one or more vomp genes during chronic bloodstream infection. (nih.gov)
  • The complex polyploid nature of the genome of bread wheat, Triticum aestivum , and the technically difficult task of sequencing clusters of tandem repeats mean that the detailed organization of extended genomic regions containing 5S rRNA genes remains unclear. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Two overlapping BACs, which contain a locus of 8 tandemly arrayed proviral segments flanked on either side by ~35 kbp of non-packaged DNA, were sequenced and annotated. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We identified a gene family encoding four highly conserved, 100-kDa, variably expressed OMP (Vomp), two of which function as adhesins. (nih.gov)
  • High-throughput sequencing facilitates deep transcriptomic and genomic surveys, which can be leveraged to deduce the evolution of gene families by duplication and subsequent neofunctionalization and subfunctionalization of individual gene copies. (biomedcentral.com)
