AbstractBased on the cDNA sequence encoding taxane 2α-O-benzoyltransferase (TBT) from Taxus yunnanensis (Gen-Bank Accession No.: AY970522), genomic sequences of TBTs from T. yunnanensis (TyTBT) and T. cuspidata (TcuTBT) were cloned for the first time. They both contain only one intron. The finding that the introns of TyTBT and TcuTBT are more diverse than their exons implies that the gene diversity is more within introns than within exons, which may be important for keeping the functions of the genes.

AbstractPreeclampsia is a pregnancy-induced disorder that is characterized by hypertension and is a leading cause of perinatal and maternal–fetal morbidity and mortality. HLA-G is thought to play important roles in maternal–fetal immune tolerance, and the associations between HLA-G gene polymorphisms and the onset of pregnancy-related diseases have been explored extensively. Because contiguous genomic sequencing is difficult, the association between the HLA-G genotype and preeclampsia onset is controversial. In this study, genomic sequences of the HLA-G region (5.2 kb) from 31 pairs of mother–offspring genomic DNA samples (18 pairs from normal pregnancies/births and 13 from preeclampsia births) were obtained by single-molecule real-time sequencing using the PacBio RS II platform. The HLA-G alleles identified in our cohort matched seven known HLA-G alleles, but we also identified two new HLA-G alleles at the fourth-field resolution and compared them with nucleotide sequences from a public database that consisted of coding sequences that cover the 3.1-kb HLA-G gene span. Intriguingly, a potential association between preeclampsia onset and the poly T stretch within the downstream region of the HLA-G*01:01:01:01 allele was found. Our study suggests that long-read sequencing of HLA-G will provide clues for characterizing HLA-G variants that are involved in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia.

Summary Given the increasing number of available genomic sequences, one now faces the task of identifying their functional parts, like the protein coding regions. The gene prediction problem can be addressed in several ways. One of the most promising methods makes use of similarity information between the genomic DNA and previously annotated sequences (proteins, cDNAs and ESTs). Recently, given the huge amount of newly sequenced genomes, new similarity-based methods are being successfully applied in the task of gene prediction. The so-called comparative-based methods lie in the similarities shared by regions of two evolutionary related genomic sequences. Despite the number of different gene prediction approaches in the literature, this problem remains challenging. In this paper we present a new comparative-based approach to the gene prediction problem. It is based on a syntenic alignment of three or more genomic sequences. With syntenic alignment we mean an alignment that is constructed taking into account the fact that the involved sequences include conserved regions intervened by unconserved ones. We have implemented the proposed algorithm in a computer program and confirm the validity of the approach on a benchmark including triples of human, mouse and rat genomic sequences.

To investigate molecular mechanisms of central pattern generators (CPG s) functioning, we carried out a screening of collection of Drosophila P-insertional mutants for strong deviations in locomotion and courtship song. In 21 mutants, the site of the P-insertion was localized by sequencing of the fragments of genomic DNA flanking the P-element. Bioinformational analysis revealed a list of candidate genes, potential players in development and functioning of CPG s. Possible involvement of certain identified genes in rhythmic motor activity is suggested for the first time (CG15630, Map205).
