indica and japonica, it has been demonstrated that the distribution of microsatellites is also influenced by the motif sequence and the sequence characteristics of the adjoining regions possessing the microsatellites, in addition to the replication slippage and point mutation model.
Like most chemokines, CXCL10 protein of the Ujumqin sheep had 4 conservative cysteine residues, located in 28, 30, 55, and 72 sites, in which the first 2 cysteine residues were separated by threonine; it was demonstrated that the sequence characteristics of CXCL10 gene which we cloned from Ujumqin sheep were accordant with the members to CXC family.
Group classification was supported by the group-specific sequence characteristics identified in the following analyses of gene structures, intron phases, additional conserved motifs outside the bZIP domain and DNA-binding site specificity in each group.
It was assumed that the site of mRNA cleavage/polyadenylation is determined by some sequence characteristics surrounding the CS, though they may have different weights in the recognition function reflecting their relative significance of recognition.
Q-tract length variance is influenced both by specific sequence characteristics and by the specific role of the Q-tract within a protein's structure and function.
This discrepancy can be at least partially explained by the distinctive DNA sequence characteristics of cCGIs and eCGIs.
This was established by observation of sequence characteristics of the upstream regions of the direct category genes: high A+T content, A/T richness of the most frequently found 5- and 6-mers, and a high rate of occurrence of 2 6 nt heteropolymeric A/T sequences.
By analyzing sequence characteristics (repetitiveness and GC content) and number of reads in a sliding window of 10 kbp in width, we found a correlation of read coverage and percentage of repetitive sequences in the 2.3 million sequences with multiple reads.
Such 'foreign genes' can be identified by their unusual sequence characteristics vis a vis the recipient genome [ 19- 21].
Optimal read length for expression analysis is impacted by system and sequence characteristics [ 55] but the 46 bp read length was empirically determined to yield good sequence alignments to L. bicolor and aspen gene models.
