Journal ArticleDOI
Nested Retrotransposons in the Intergenic Regions of the Maize Genome
Phillip SanMiguel,Alexander Tikhonov,Young Kwan Jin,Natasha Motchoulskaia,Dmitrii Zakharov,Admasu Melake-Berhan,Patricia S. Springer,Keith J. Edwards,Michael Lee,Zoya V Avramova,Jeffrey L. Bennetzen +10 more
TL;DR: Diagnostic sequencing indicated that a 280-kilobase region containing the maize Adh1-F and u22 genes is composed primarily of retrotransposons inserted within each other, and ten retroelement families were discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colinearity and its exceptions in orthologous adh regions of maize and sorghum
Alexander Tikhonov,Phillip SanMiguel,Yuko Nakajima,Nina M. Gorenstein,Jeffrey L. Bennetzen,Zoya V Avramova +5 more
TL;DR: A much higher degree of diversity at a microstructural level than predicted by genetic mapping studies for closely related grass species, as well as for comparisons of monocots and dicots is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grass genomes
Jeffrey L. Bennetzen,Phillip SanMiguel,Mingsheng Chen,Alexander Tikhonov,Michael Francki,Zoya V Avramova +5 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that much of the maize genome is composed of interspersed repetitive DNAs, primarily nested retrotransposons that insert between genes, and that a knowledge of grass genome structure will be a useful tool for gene discovery and isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix attachment regions and structural colinearity in the genomes of two grass species
TL;DR: The analysis demonstrated that the occurrence of various 'MAR motifs' is not indicative of MAR location, and most of the MARs discovered in the two genomic regions were found to co-localize with miniature inverted repeat transposable elements (MITEs), suggesting that MITEs preferentially insert near MARs and/or that they can serve as MARs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix attachment regions and transcribed sequences within a long chromosomal continuum containing maize Adh1.
TL;DR: Contrary to expectations, several classes of highly repeated elements with representatives in this region were found to be transcribed, and some of these exhibited tissue-specific patterns of expression.
