      Martínez-Lage, Andrés; Rodríguez Fariña, María Fernanda; González-Tizón, Ana M.; Prats, Eva; Cornudella, Luis; Méndez, Josefina (Canadian Science Publishing, 2002-10)
      [Abstract:] We report the characterization of three satellite DNAs in four species of mussel: Mytilus edulis, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Mytilus trossulus, and Mytilus californianus. The monomers of the Apa I satellite ...
    • Molecular organization and phylogenetic analysis of 5S rDNA in crustaceans of the genus "Pollicipes" reveal birth-and-death evolution and strong purifying selection 

      Perina Cedrón, Alejandra; Seoane Miraz, David; González-Tizón, Ana M.; Rodríguez Fariña, María Fernanda; Martínez-Lage, Andrés (BioMed Central, 2011-10-17)
      [Abstract] Background: The 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) is organized in tandem arrays with repeat units that consist of a transcribing region (5S) and a variable nontranscribed spacer (NTS), in higher eukaryotes. Until ...
    • Origin and evolution of "Mytilus" mussel satellite DNAs 

      Martínez-Lage, Andrés; Rodríguez Fariña, María Fernanda; González-Tizón, Ana M.; Méndez, Josefina (Canadian Science Publishing, 2005-04)
      [Abstract] A phylogenetic reconstruction based on the amplification of 3 satellite DNAs (stDNAs) was carried out in 1 crustacean species and 15 bivalve species of the subclass Pteriomorphia (10, subfamily Mytilinae; 1, ...
