- 1 October 2006
Microsatellites are among the most versatile of genetic markers, being used in an impressive number of biological applications. However, the evolutionary dynamics of these markers remain a source of… Expand
Genome analysis of the platypus reveals unique signatures of evolution
- W. Warren, L. Hillier, +99 authors R. Wilson
- Biology, Geography
- 8 May 2008
We present a draft genome sequence of the platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus. This monotreme exhibits a fascinating combination of reptilian and mammalian characters. For example, platypuses have a… Expand
Rapid Evolution of Coral Proteins Responsible for Interaction with the Environment
- C. Voolstra, S. Sunagawa, +8 authors M. Medina
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 25 May 2011
Background Corals worldwide are in decline due to climate change effects (e.g., rising seawater temperatures), pollution, and exploitation. The ability of corals to cope with these stressors in the… Expand
Microsatellite Tandem Repeats Are Abundant in Human Promoters and Are Associated with Regulatory Elements
- Sterling Sawaya, Andrew T. M. Bagshaw, +4 authors N. Gemmell
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 6 February 2013
Tandem repeats are genomic elements that are prone to changes in repeat number and are thus often polymorphic. These sequences are found at a high density at the start of human genes, in the gene’s… Expand
Conservation of Human Microsatellites across 450 Million Years of Evolution
- Emmanuel Buschiazzo, N. Gemmell
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome biology and evolution
- 8 February 2010
The sequencing and comparison of vertebrate genomes have enabled the identification of widely conserved genomic elements. Chief among these are genes and cis-regulatory regions, which are often under… Expand
Evolution of Microsatellite DNA
- Iris M. Vargas Jentzsch, Andrew T. M. Bagshaw, Emmanuel Buschiazzo, Angelika Merkel, N. Gemmell
- Biology
- 19 September 2013
Microsatellites are highly mutable nucleotide arrays composed of short motifs repeated in tandem. They are ubiquitously distributed in bacterial and eukaryotic genomes and their abundance and… Expand
Measuring Microsatellite Conservation in Mammalian Evolution with a Phylogenetic Birth–Death Model
- Sterling Sawaya, D. Lennon, Emmanuel Buschiazzo, N. Gemmell, V. Minin
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome biology and evolution
- 16 May 2012
Microsatellites make up ∼3% of the human genome, and there is increasing evidence that some microsatellites can have important functions and can be conserved by selection. To investigate this… Expand
Promoter microsatellites as modulators of human gene expression.
- Sterling Sawaya, Andrew T. M. Bagshaw, Emmanuel Buschiazzo, N. Gemmell
- Biology, Medicine
- Advances in experimental medicine and biology
- 2012
Microsatellites in and around genes have been shown to modulate levels of gene expression in multiple organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Here we will discuss promoter microsatellites known… Expand
Development of microsatellite markers for the short-beaked echidna using three different approaches
- C. Vanpé, Emmanuel Buschiazzo, J. Abdelkrim, Gemma E. Morrow, S. Nicol, N. Gemmell
- Biology
- 16 November 2009
Abstract. We used three different methods, size-selected genomic library, cross-species amplification of a mammal-wide
set of conserved microsatellites and genomic sequencing, to develop a panel of… Expand
