Exon Recombination02:32

Exon Recombination

3.9K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes. 
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.3K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Transgenic Plants

8.2K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Plant Biology

Background:

  • Eukaryotic genes typically contain introns, while prokaryotic genes are mostly intronless.
  • Intronless genes in eukaryotes are valuable for comparative genomics and evolutionary studies.
  • A unified database for plant intronless genes is currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the Rosaceae Intronless Genes Database (RIGD), a web-based platform for exploring plant intronless genes.
  • To consolidate sequence data, gene annotations, and related analyses for intronless genes.
  • To facilitate research in comparative genomics and evolutionary biology within the Rosaceae family.

Main Methods:

  • Collected and integrated sequence data and gene annotations from public databases.
  • Developed a user-friendly web interface for RIGD.
  • Performed attribute analysis, functional annotation, subcellular localization prediction, and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis.

Main Results:

  • The RIGD database is now available, featuring intronless genes from six Rosaceae species.
  • The database provides tools for browsing, searching, downloading data, and performing BLAST and comparative analyses.
  • Comprehensive analyses including functional annotations and GO terms are included.

Conclusions:

  • The RIGD database serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying intronless genes in plants.
  • It simplifies access to integrated data, supporting comparative genomics and evolutionary research.
  • The database promotes further investigation into the function and evolution of intronless genes in the Rosaceae family.
