A-DNA is a form of DNA that occurs when the DNA is in a dehydrated state or is bound to certain proteins, and it has a shorter and wider helix than B-DNA. The helix of A-DNA is also tilted and compressed compared to B-DNA. A-DNA is believed to play a role in certain biological processes, such as DNA replication and gene expression.
Genes take up about 30% of the pufferfish genome and the coding DNA is about 10%. (Non-coding DNA = 90%.) The reduced size of the pufferfish genome is due to a reduction in the length of introns and less repetitive DNA. [8] [9] Utricularia gibba, a bladderwort plant, has a very small nuclear genome (100.7 Mb) compared to most plants.
The A form occurs under non-physiological conditions in partly dehydrated samples of DNA, while in the cell it may be produced in hybrid pairings of DNA and RNA strands, and in enzyme-DNA complexes. [ 54 ] [ 55 ] Segments of DNA where the bases have been chemically modified by methylation may undergo a larger change in conformation and adopt ...
A comprehensive study of DNA sequences from multiple human samples inferred the existence of 4,930 species of microbes of which 77% were previously unreported. [33] Health-related findings include a prophage that might be associated with cirrhosis of the liver , [ 27 ] and seven novel sequences from children with type-1 diabetes that have ...

Replication commences at the 3'-OH end and is performed by extending the 3'-end of the positive strand using the negative strand as a template for replication. {refer to DNA replication} Synthesis of the new positive strand uses the negative strand as a template, and so synthesizes a newly connected strand of DNA which displaces the nicked ...
Linear bacterial plasmids have been identified in several species of spirochete bacteria, including members of the genus Borrelia (to which the pathogen responsible for Lyme disease belongs), several species of the gram positive soil bacteria of the genus Streptomyces, and in the gram negative species Thiobacillus versutus, a bacterium that ...
The Indonesian Wikipedia (Indonesian: Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, WBI for short) is the Indonesian language edition of Wikipedia. It is the fifth-fastest-growing Asian-language Wikipedia after the Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Turkish language Wikipedias. It ranks 25th in terms of depth among Wikipedias.
