Unlike other insects, the aphid genome includes genes that encode the proteins needed to synthesize carotenoids, which were probably acquired via lateral gene transfer from fungi.
Bacterial genomes are usually stitched together from short DNA sequences generated by next-generation sequencing machines, but this leaves gaps that are laborious to fill.
These uncultured genomes substantially expand the known species repertoire of the collective human gut microbiota, with a 281% increase in phylogenetic diversity.
In the short term, a synthetic yeast genome could lead to the creation of designer yeast for manufacturing of vaccines, medicines and more sustainable biofuels.
Double strand again, but inside them, they're infected with a virus that has a nice, long, single-stranded genome that we can fold like a piece of paper.
Normally, the genome consists of 46 chromosomes, of which 44 are autosomal, that is, they are responsible for hereditary traits(hair and eye color, ear shape and other).
And in particular, you have probably all heard the analogy that the genome is like the blueprint of your body, and if that were only true, it would be great, but it's not.
Methods to sequence the genomes of individual dengue serotypes have been described previously, but no single method is known to be applicable for all four serotypes.
The genome they sequenced from the samples was incomplete, but it was enough for the scientists to conclude that between 6% and 9% of Oase 1's genome is Neanderthal in origin.
Amborella trichopoda is understood to be the most basal extant flowering plant and its genome is anticipated to provide insights into the evolution of plant life on Earth(see the Perspective by Adams).
Far from consisting mainly of junk that provides evidence against intelligent design, our genome is increasingly revealing itself to be a multidimensional, integrated system in which non-protein-coding DNA performs a wide variety of functions.
So a hominid genome is about three billion base pairs, but an elephant and mammoth genome is about two billion base pairs larger, and most of that is composed of small, repetitive DNAs that make it very difficult to actually re-jig the entire structure of the genome..
The genome was pieced together from total DNA extracted from the skeletal remains of four individuals excavated from a large cemetery on the site of the Royal Mint in East Smithfield in London, where more than 2,000 plague victims were buried in 1348 and 1349.
