Hypervariability of simple sequences as a general source for polymorphic DNA markers.
- D. Tautz
- Biology, Medicine
- Nucleic acids research
- 25 August 1989
Short simple sequence stretches occur as highly repetitive elements in all eukaryotic genomes and partially also in prokaryotes and eubacteria. They are thought to arise by slippage like events… Expand
A plea for DNA taxonomy
- D. Tautz, P. Arctander, A. Minelli, R. H. Thomas, A. Vogler
- Biology
- 1 February 2003
Abstract Taxonomy underpins all biological research, with implications for many basic scientific and applied fields. Insights into the stability or change of animal and plant guilds require species… Expand
The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum
- S. Richards, R. Gibbs, +188 authors D. Grossmann
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 24 April 2008
Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural… Expand
Animals in a bacterial world, a new imperative for the life sciences
- M. McFall-Ngai, M. Hadfield, +23 authors J. Wernegreen
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 7 February 2013
In the last two decades, the widespread application of genetic and genomic approaches has revealed a bacterial world astonishing in its ubiquity and diversity. This review examines how a growing… Expand
A phylogenetically based transcriptome age index mirrors ontogenetic divergence patterns
- Tomislav Domazet-Lošo, D. Tautz
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 9 December 2010
Parallels between phylogeny and ontogeny have been discussed for almost two centuries, and a number of theories have been proposed to explain such patterns. Especially elusive is the phylotypic… Expand
The evolutionary origin of orphan genes
- D. Tautz, Tomislav Domazet-Lošo
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Genetics
- 31 August 2011
Gene evolution has long been thought to be primarily driven by duplication and rearrangement mechanisms. However, every evolutionary lineage harbours orphan genes that lack homologues in other… Expand
Comparative evolutionary analysis of rDNA ITS regions in Drosophila.
- C. Schlötterer, M. Hauser, A. von Haeseler, D. Tautz
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 May 1994
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal DNA is generally considered to be under low functional constraint, and it is therefore often treated as a typical nonfunctional spacer sequence.… Expand
An evolutionary analysis of orphan genes in Drosophila.
- Tomislav Domazet-Lošo, D. Tautz
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome research
- 1 October 2003
Orphan genes are protein-coding regions that have no recognizable homolog in distantly related species. A substantial fraction of coding regions in any genome sequenced consists of orphan genes, but… Expand
Mitochondrial sequence analysis of Salamandra taxa suggests old splits of major lineages and postglacial recolonizations of Central Europe from distinct source populations of Salamandra salamandra
- S. Steinfartz, M. Veith, D. Tautz
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 April 2000
Representatives of the genus Salamandra occur in Europe, Northern Africa and the Near East. Many local variants are known but species and subspecies status of these is still a matter of dispute. We… Expand
A non-radioactive in situ hybridization method for the localization of specific RNAs in Drosophila embryos reveals translational control of the segmentation gene hunchback
- D. Tautz, C. Pfeifle
- Biology, Medicine
- Chromosoma
- 1 August 1989
We have developed a non-radioactive in situ hybridization technique for the localization of RNA in whole mount Drosophila embryos. After fixation, whole embryos are hybridized in situ with a DNA… Expand
