Twelve reside in 9 tandem blocks of ~35-55 ~35-55t share 91-99% identity.
Within arrays (defined here as tandem blocks of Rsp repeats on non-overlapping BACs), I categorized repeats into the canonical Left repeats, canonical Right repeats, and variants of the canonical Rsp repeats.
This conclusion is supported by the observation of a small number of beta-defensin and olfactory receptor sequences in close proximity to these tandem blocks as well as the observation that within all of the beta-defensin clusters, 2 of the 3 DUB/USP17 genes lack either an intact ORF or residues necessary for catalytic activity.
To see whether there is a similar bias in gene function for genes retained in the 2- and 3HOM blocks, we calculated GO Slim enrichments (see Methods) for both the tandem and block duplicate datasets.
These unbound delegates, though, should not be interpreted as agents of the party establishment who will act in tandem to block Trump.
It is clear that both tandem and block duplicates are enriched in genes that play a role in pathogenesis.
We propose that the abundance of horizontal gene transfers in free-living prokaryotes is a simple but necessary consequence of two opposite effects: i) their apparent genome size constraint compared to typical eukaryote genomes and ii) their underlying genome expansion dynamics through gene duplication-divergence evolution, as demonstrated by the presence of many tandem and block repeated genes.
Although a single B-block drives expression only in a cranial stripe, our transgenic BBL lines (with tandem B-blocks) also express very low levels of dynamic presumably oscillating cLfng in the PSM.
Not initially associated with weather fronts, they form in tandem with blocking anticyclones at higher latitudes, which leads to a slow poleward movement up the SST gradient.
Only BvMSat08 and BvMSat09 can be found in large tandem array blocks within the intercalary heterochromatin.
For all these reasons, we tentatively assigned HMTL1-2 and HTML3-6 (including the inverted HMTL3 locus) to two separate tandem duplication blocks in our analysis (Additional File 6).
