Sentence examples for mt genome size from inspiring English sources

Such repetitive genomic elements contribute to the significant increase of mt genome size in some plants (e.g., in the Silene genus, Sloan et al. 2012).

Recently, an invasion of HEGs and self-splicing introns was shown to explain the large mt genome size of Rhynchosporium agropyri and R. secalis (Torriani et al. 2014).

It is therefore possible that the ancestral mt genome size for the Neochloridaceae + Hydrodictyaceae clade was in the vicinity of 38 kb.

Maize mt genome size varies from 535,825 to 739,719 bp, mainly due to large duplications (up to 120 kb).

Our observations show that variation in exchangeable gene content and repeat regions are also important contributors to differences in mt genome size.

Conversion of circular genomes to monomeric linear genomes has been shown to occur by an insertion of linear plasmids with inverted terminal repeats (Schnare et al. 1986; Heinonen et al. 1987), resulting in the extension of mt genome size.

The Ustilaginomycete and Exobasidiomycete species had medium mt genome sizes (57 65 kbp), with the exception for J. angkoriensis, the three Urediniomycetes species and C. neoformans all had small mt genome sizes (<40 kbp).

All except E. typhina mt genome sizes varied slightly within a given taxon, larger differences being observed between taxa.

The second objective was to perform a comparative Basidiomycete mt genome study, to investigate the processes involved in the large variations of mt genome sizes in Basidiomycetes.

Variable mt genome sizes have previously been attributed to intergenic regions, introns and in some cases extensive tandem repeat arrays or stem loop motifs (Burger et al. 2003).

The reoccurring internal stop codons and frame shifts and the varying number of HEGs in the studied species suggest that HEG and intron expansions can contribute to large mt genome sizes also in Basidiomycetes as previously reported for ascomycete fungi.
