Genetic diversity and population structure of the rockpool shrimp "Palaemon elegans" based on microsatellites: evidence for a cryptic species and differentiation across the Atlantic–Mediterranean transition
(Nature, 2020-07-01)
[Abstract] The rockpool shrimp Palaemon elegans is an ecologically important crustacean species within the European coastline fauna. In the present study, genetic diversity and population structure and connectivity were ...
Molecular and evolutionary analysis of mussel histone genes ("Mytilus" spp.): possible evidence of an "orphon origin" for H1 histone genes
(Springer Nature, 2002-09)
[Abstract:] Linker histones are a divergent group of histone proteins with an independent evolutionary history in which, besides somatic subtypes, tissue- and differentiation-specific subtypes are included. In the present ...
Cytogenetics of the razor clam "Solen marginatus" (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Solenidae)
(Karger, 2003)
[Abstract:] The razor clam Solen marginatus has a diploid chromosome number of 38. The karyotype consists of one metacentric/submetacentric, three submetacentric/metacentric, five submetacentric, one submetacentric/subtelocentric, ...
Comparative analysis of different satellite DNAs in four Mytilus species
(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 ...
Birth-and-death evolution with strong purifying selection in the histone H1 multigene family and the origin of "orphon" H1 genes
(Oxford University Press, 2004-10)
[Abstract:] Histones are small basic nuclear proteins with critical structural and functional roles in eukaryotic genomes. The H1 multigene family constitutes a very interesting histone class gathering the greatest number ...
Common evolutionary origin and birth-and-death process in the replication-independent histone H1 isoforms from vertebrate and invertebrate genomes
(Springer Nature, 2005-09)
[Abstract]The H1 histone multigene family shows the greatest diversity of isoforms among the five histone gene families, including replication-dependent (RD) and replication-independent (RI) genes, according to their ...
Genetic divergence detected by ISSR markers and characterization of microsatellite regions in "Mytilus" mussels
(Springer Nature, 2007-08)
[Abstract] The wide distribution of microsatellites in mussels of the Mytilus edulis complex (Mytilidae) enables the analysis of inter-simple-sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The aim of this investigation was to assess ...
Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the razor clam "Ensis siliqua"
(Wiley, 2007-03)
[Abstract] Five polymorphic microsatellite loci in the razor clam Ensis siliqua are described. A collection consisting of 34 individuals from Finisterre, Spain, was analysed. Loci were isolated from the sequences of ...
Genome sizes and karyotypes in the razor clams "Ensis arcuatus" (Jeffreys, 1865) and "E. siliqua" (Linnaeus, 1758)
(CNRS - Station Biologique de Roscoff- ABiMS, 2008-03)
[Abstract] The razor clams Ensis arcuatus and E. siliqua show a diploid DNA content of 3.85 ± 0.049 pg and 4.00 ± 0.050 pg, respectively. Both have a diploid chromosome number of 38 although their karyotypes show remarkable ...
Long-term evolution of 5S ribosomal DNA seems to be driven by birth-and-death processes and selection in "Ensis" razor shells (Mollusca: Bivalvia)
(Springer Nature, 2009-10)
[Abstract] A study of nucleotide sequence variation of 5S ribosomal DNA from six Ensis species revealed that several 5S ribosomal DNA variants, based on differences in their nontranscribed spacers (NTS), occur in Ensis ...
