The analysis suggests that the degree of T - cell clone sharing between twins is greater than can be explained simply by shared genomes.

Now, an extensive analysis of microbial genomes suggests that more than half of bacteria home in on chemical cues to reach a target, an ability called chemotaxis.

Given the number of genomes studied and the sophisticated analysis used, the date for when the species diverges is «the best estimate of what we've gotten so far, and it makes sense,» says Beth Shapiro, an evolutionary biologist at UC Santa Cruz, whose earlier work also suggested these bears split less than a million years ago.

The analysis suggests that about 1,000 copy number variations exist in each person, spanning at least 1 percent of the genome.

«Some analyses of the ENCODE data alone have argued that upwards of 80 % of the genome is functional, but our evolutionary analysis suggests that isn't the case.»

DEEP ROOTS Analysis of the Mnemiopsis leidyi comb jelly's genome suggests it sits at the base of the tree of animal life.

Comparison of archaeal and bacterial genomes: computer analysis of protein sequences predicts novel functions and suggests a chimeric origin for the archaea.

Bayesian analysis suggested an S. argenteus ST2250 substitution rate of 4.66 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 3.12 to 6.38) mutations per genome per year, which was comparable to the S. aureus ST121 substitution rate of 4.07 (95 % CI, 2.61 to 5.55).

Overall, whilst the differences in the analyses (e.g., constant genetic vs. constant physical window - width) and in the proportion of the genome (i.e., 63.6 % vs. 30.7 %) analyzed to identify regions of low - or high recombination in the parasitoid wasp and in the honeybee may account for some of the striking differences in the estimated proportions of the genomes with low - and high recombination frequencies, our data do suggest that the recombination frequency in the honeybee is elevated across the entire genome, for regions of both low and high recombination alike.

DNA analysis, focusing on differences between living dog and wolf genomes, seemed to suggest they must have split much more recently — between 11,000 and 16,000 years ago.
