Examples

  • Colours indicate either a 1.5-fold to 2.0-fold (blue) or a more than 2.0-fold (red) increase in the size of intronic (coloured boxes) or intergenic (coloured lines) regions, in comparison with the chicken reference.

  • If I were to suggest avenues of research for you, I'd be hitting the books to understand the mechanisms whereby genomes acquire agenic DNA, be it processed pseudogenes, retroviral infection or intronic insertion.

  • If I were to suggest avenues of research for you, I'd be hitting the books to understand the mechanisms whereby genomes acquire agenic DNA, be it processed pseudogenes, retroviral infection or intronic insertion.

    A Dubious "Opportunity" for IDers 2007

  • This explains things like the exact position of pseudogenes, endogenous retroviral sequences, genomic duplication events, translocation breakpoints, intronic sizes, gene family similarities, regulatory sequence conservation etc.

  • At this point, we barely know even how the “genes” would “grow” a normal Purkinje neuron — let alone our very initial actual knowledge of the roles their intronic and intergenic regions play in physiological and/or pathological growth.

  • Thus one should, IMHO, wonder if ATM intronic mutation could be identified as a fractal defect of a regulatory mechanism.

  • For instance, the well-known intronic GAA triplet-repeat that is known to be the cause of the Friedreich Spinocerebellar Ataxia a lethal hereditary syndrome, a veritable “Junk DNA disease” has already been identified by FractoGem Miner as a fractal defect “in the junk” of X25.

  • I submit to you more so to learned parents of kids affected by this syndrome that an intronic fractal defect, derailing regulation, might really be of the interest of those who are really serious.

    Another unintelligent move - The Panda's Thumb 2007

  • For {approx}1/3 of the pyknons, the intergenic/intronic instances of their reverse complement lie within 380,084 nonoverlapping regions, typically 60–80 nucleotides long, which are predicted to form double-stranded, energetically stable, hairpin-shaped RNA secondary structures; additionally, the pyknons subsume {approx}40% of the known microRNA sequences, thus suggesting a possible link with posttranscriptional gene silencing and RNA interference.

    IBM Discovery Could Shed New Light on Workings of the Human Genome - The Panda's Thumb 2006

  • The sperm-specific dynein intermediate chain gene was generated by a fusion mutation between two genes (so strictly speaking it falls under the gene duplication rubric), but the coding region of the new Sdic gene is generated from the non-coding intronic regions, so protein homology studies would have a hard time identifying it (Nurminsky et al 1998).
