β¦ Synopsis
Sequence analysis was used to define the repeat unit that constitutes the mitochondrial genome of a petite (rho-) mutant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This mutant has retained and amplified in tandem a 2,547 bp segment encompassing the second exon of the oxi3 gene excised from wild-type mtDNA between two direct repeats of 11 nucleotides. The identity of the mtDNA segment retained in this petite has recently been questioned (van der Veen et al., 1988). The results presented here confirm the identity of this mtDNA segment to be that determined previously by restriction mapping (Carignani et al., 1983).

The nucleotide sequence of the repeat unit of the mitochondrial genome of a spontaneous petite mutant of S. cerevisiae is reported. The sequence provides direct information on the AT-spacers and GC-clusters of the mitochondrial genome of yeast.
As part of our genetic and molecular analysis of mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae affected in the oli1 gene (coding for mitochondrial ATPase subunit 9) we have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mtDNA genome of a petite (23-3) carrying this gene. Petite 23-3 (1,355 base pairs) ret
We have analysed short open reading frames (between 150 and 300 base pairs long) of the yeast genome (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) with a two-step strategy. The first step selects a candidate set of open reading frames from the DNA sequence based on statistical evaluation of DNA and protein sequence pr
Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae: Stomoxyini), a synanthropic fly with a worldwide distribution, is recognized to have an important medical and veterinary impact. We conducted a phylogeographic analysis based on several populations from five major zoogeographic regions of the world in order to
