Segmental duplication, or low-copy repeat (LCR) event, occurs during primate evolution and
is an important source of genomic diversity, including gain or loss of gene function. The …

Os elementos transponíveis (em inglês, Transposable elements–TEs) são elementos
genéticos móveis, sendo classificados em retrotransposons (classe I) ou transposons de …

Muscle glycogen Phosphorylase (PYGM) has been shown to catalyze the degradation of
glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate. The PYGM gene can contribute to providing energy to the …

Background-The availability of multiple whole genome sequences has facilitated in silico
identification of fixed and polymorphic transposable elements (TE). Whereas polymorphic …

We performed a genome-wide scan for recombination-mediated interlocus gene conversion
and deletion events among a set of orthologous Alu loci in the Great Apes, and were …

A transposable element (TE) is a mobile DNA sequence that has the ability to change its
position in a genome and can create recognizable transposon-derived repeats. Because …

Retroelements 4. The SINE Bov-A2 5. Specie Specific Fixation of Bov-A2 Elements 6. Non …

Genome size in mammals and birds shows remarkably little interspecific variation compared
to other taxa. Yet, genome sequencing has revealed that many mammal and bird lineages …

Mobile elements represent a unique and powerful set of tools for understanding the variation
in a genome. Methods exist not only to utilize the polymorphisms among and within taxa to …

The ADRA1A (Alpha-1-adrenergic receptor) gene is one of the members of G protein-
coupled receptor superfamily. Alternative splicing of this gene was known to generate four …
