Splicing signals in Drosophila: intron size, information content, and consensus sequences
TL;DR: A database of 209 Drosophila introns was extracted from Genbank and examined by a number of methods in order to characterize features that might serve as signals for messenger RNA splicing and found that there is a discontinuity in A + T content between exons and introns, which are A +T rich.

TL;DR: Variation in simple sequence repeats in key genes can provide a mechanism for generating antigenic variation that may account for the mammalian host's inability to mount a durable adaptive immune response to a B. mallei infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Phylogenomic analysis reveals likely duplications of genes involved in biosynthetic pathways for photosynthesis and the metabolism of sulfur and nitrogen as well as strong similarities between metabolic processes in C. tepidum and many Archaeal species.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of Theileria parva is reported, an apicomplexan pathogen causing economic losses to smallholder farmers in Africa, and its plastid-like genome represents the first example where all apicoplast genes are encoded on one DNA strand.
