Hypsibius dujardini has a compact genome and a generation time of about two weeks, and it can be cultured indefinitely and cryopreserved.
Evidence suggests that baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which has a compact genome, experienced polyploidization during its evolutionary history.
A well-supported paleopolyploidy has been found in baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), despite its small, compact genome ( 13Mbp), after the divergence from the common yeast Kluyveromyces waltii.
Small genome size itself is likely to reflect lack of selection for gene retention rather than direct selection for a compact genome [ 21].
C. roenbergensis is unique amongst eukaryotes because it has a highly compact mitochondrial genome that includes less than 3.4% introns.
Viruses often mimic human SLiMs to hijack and disrupt a host's cellular machinery, thereby adding functionality to their compact genomes without necessitating new virally encoded proteins.
Hypsibius dujardini has a compact genome and a generation time of about two weeks.
It has a very simple ultrastructure, and a compact genome.
Recently, O. tauri has been the subject of studies using comparative genomics and functional genomics, as it is of interest to researchers because of its compact genome and green lineage.
They see bees, with their comma-sized brains, compact genomes and circumscribed set of stereotyped behaviors, as offering a relatively simple and politically unobjectionable system for deciphering the biology of behavior.
