Sentences with phrase «gene synteny»
The parasite chromosomes exhibit limited conservation of gene synteny with Plasmodium falciparum, and its plastid - like genome represents the first example where all apicoplast genes are encoded on one DNA strand.

Comparative genomics analyses with uncultivated environmental TM7 assemblies show remarkable conserved gene synteny and only minimal gene loss / gain that may have occurred as TM7x adapted to conditions within the human host.

To address these challenges, we generated a uniform reannotation of the protein - coding genes for all avian genomes based on synteny in chicken and zebra finch (SM2).
For ~ 13,000 (low - coverage genomes) to ~ 18,000 (high - coverage genomes) annotated genes across avian species (44), phylomeDB inferred orthologs for 94.58 % of them and these agreed with the synteny - based orthology of the 8251 protein - coding genes of the TENT by 93 %.
Metazoans can now be defined by a long list of genomic synapomorphies — gene content, intron — exon structure and syntenies — as well as characteristics common to all animal life such as sex, development, controlled cellular proliferation, differentiation and growth, and immunity.
The organization of genes shows conserved synteny (that is, conserved linkage without necessarily requiring colinearity) relative to other animals.
In particular, 83 of the 153 longest Amphimedon scaffolds (those that contain genes from more than ten distinct metazoan gene families, sufficient for synteny to be assessed) show segments of conserved synteny with other animals (Supplementary Note 6).
