Next-generation sequencing has become increasingly accessible and economical, making
genome-wide studies routine for many species, including humans, model organisms, and …

The recent availability of a number of fully sequenced genomes (including marine
organisms) allowed to map very precisely the isochores, based on DNA sequences …

The genetic material of the three domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota) is
always double-stranded DNA, and their GC content (molar content of guanine plus cytosine) …

Schistosoma mansoni is a trematode flatworm that parasitizes humans and produces a
disease called bilharzia. At the genomic level, it is characterized by a low genomic GC …

In the present work, we performed a comparative genome-wide analysis of 22 species
representative of the main clades and lifestyles of the phylum Platyhelminthes. We selected …

Fish chromosomes are considered homogeneous in their AT/GC nucleotide composition,
and banding patterns enabling identification of homologs are largely missing. While …

The species of the genus Echinococcus are parasitic platyhelminths that cause
echinococcosis and exert a global burden on public and animal health. Here we performed …

Schistosoma mansoni is a parasitic flatworm that causes a human disease called
schistosomiasis, or bilharzia. At the genomic level, S. mansoni is AT-rich, but has some …
