Mapping and characterization of Paracentrotus lividus mitochondrial transcripts: multiple and overlapping transcription units.

abstract：:International efforts are underway that aim at determining the complete genome sequence of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. As strategy, a whole chromosome shotgun (WCS) approach was chosen and each of the six Dictyostelium chromosomes was assigned to project partners. The project is well advanced, chromoso...

abstract：:To supply abundant ribosomes, multiple copies of ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) are conserved from bacterial to human cells. In eukaryotic genomes, clusters of tandemly repeated rDNA units are present, and their number is stably maintained. Due to high level of transcription of rRNA genes, the repetitive structure is pron...
