Mononucleotide repeats are asymmetrically distributed in fungal genes (2008)

Van Passel, Mark WJ, De Graaff, Leo H

Abstract Background Systematic analyses of sequence features have resulted in a better characterisation of the organisation of the genome. A previous study in prokaryotes on the distribution of...

The reach of the genome signature in prokaryotes (2006)

Van Passel, Mark WJ, Kuramae, Eiko E, Luyf, Angela CM, Bart, Aldert, Boekhout, Teun

Abstract Background With the increased availability of sequenced genomes there have been several initiatives to infer evolutionary relationships by whole genome characteristics. One of these studies...

Compositional discordance between prokaryotic plasmids and host chromosomes (2006)

Van Passel, Mark WJ, Bart, Aldert, Luyf, Angela CM, Van Kampen, Antoine HC, Van Der Ende, Arie

Abstract Background Most plasmids depend on the host replication machinery and possess partitioning genes. These properties confine plasmids to a limited range of hosts, yielding a close and...

An intragenic distribution bias of DNA uptake sequences in Pasteurellaceae and Neisseriae

Van Passel, Mark WJ

Most sequenced strains from Pasteurellaceae and Neisseriae contain hundreds to thousands of uptake sequence (US) motifs in their genome, which are associated with natural competence for DNA uptake....
