As we have described, the qualitative and quantitative content of regions of latent periodicity are characteristic of the genomes.
The enrichment is even more dramatic when the TE content of regions not classified as P/A regions is taken into account (14.52%, more than three times less).
The bias in the GC content of regions showing changing OCI led us to investigate the role of sequence composition within senescent nuclear reorganization.
Moreover, the ortholog content of regions distant from replication origins was more weakly conserved: N1 contained the fewest panorthologs (0.28 orthologs/Kbp) followed by N2 (0.74 orthologs/Kbp).
Despite the higher mean GC content of regions containing Type II New genes, the strong bias for A. mellifera genes to reside in low GC content regions relative to the genome [ 1] remains.
Next, genomic regions with a high proportion of such SNP were identified, and then the genic content of regions with extreme signals for positive and balancing selection were further analyzed.
A chi-squared test of heterogeneity found a significant difference in the TE content of regions nearby genes, comparing regions less than versus greater than 1 kb upstream and downstream of genes (upstream region p-value < 2.2e-16 2.2e-16ream region p-value < 2.2e-08, Adownstreamfile 7).
This is consistent with the lower AT-content of region II compared to the rest of the genome.
This leads to an interesting "hen and egg" problem: is it the low AT-content of region II that is the cause of the biases in amino acid composition or vice versa?
The gene content of the region flanked by the pi66-linked markers F04-j2 and M19-i12.
