genome size

The basis for this rule is still under investigation, although genome size may play a role.

Its total genome size 8.621 kb and is broken into three parts.

It has a small genome size, grows very rapidly, and is easily transformed.

The genome size is approximately 365kbp and in total, 328 genes have been found.

Still, many researchers believe there is some selective pressure on bacteria to maintain small genome size.

In other words, the genome size is much larger than would be expected given the total number of protein coding genes.

For the last 20 years researchers have been able to calculate genome sizes and mutation rates.

The genome sizes range from 4.5 - 6kb and is circular.

Genome sizes outside of this order are presently unknown.

An example of increasing genome size over time is seen in filamentous plant pathogens.

The lifestyles of bacteria play an integral role in their respective genome sizes.

Transposition can create significant mutations and alter the cell's genome size.

The genome size of the organism is three billion basepairs in this example.

A study done by Mira et al. indicated little to no correlation between genome size and doubling time.

Nuclear genome sizes are well known to vary enormously among eukaryotic species.

The genome size was 58.55 Mbp with an estimated 16,549 genes.

In fact, there exists a very general negative correlation between genome size and mutation rate across observed systems.

Some phytoplasmas also have a very small genome size.

Origin of avian genome size and structure in non-avian dinosaurs.

Researchers have developed several theories to explain the patterns of genome size evolution amongst bacteria.

Genome size varies among different organisms and the cloning vector must be selected accordingly.

The C-value is another measure of genome size.

The total genome size is 13,588 bases.

Total genome size ranges from 10.5 to 22.7 kbp.

In diploid organisms, genome size is used interchangeably with the term C-value.
