    Surface rupture during the 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake: Implications for fault rupture dynamics and seismic-hazard analysis (2012)
    Geological Society of America (GSA)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-01-01
    Description: The September 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake in New Zealand is one of the best-recorded earthquakes of this magnitude. The earthquake occurred on a previously unidentified fault system and generated a 29.5 ± 0.5-km-long surface rupture across a low-relief agricultural landscape. High-accuracy measurements of coseismic displacements were obtained at over 100 localities along the Greendale fault. Maximum net displacement (Dmax) (5.3 ± 0.5 m) and average net displacement (Davg) (2.5 ± 0.1 m) are anomalously large for an earthquake of this Mw. Dmax / surface rupture length (SRL) and Davg/SRL ratios are among the largest ever recorded for a continental strike-slip earthquake. “Geologically derived” estimates of moment magnitude (MwG) are less than the seismologically derived Mw, derived using widely employed SRL-Mw scaling regressions. MwG is greater than Mw using Dmax- and Davg-Mw regressions. The “geologically derived” static stress drop of 13.9 ± 3.7 MPa provides a context with which to compare this earthquake rupture to interplate and intraplate ruptures of similar Mw. This data set provides fundamental information on fault rupture processes relevant to seismic-hazard modeling in this region and analogous settings globally.

    From sequence to chromosome: the tip of the X chromosome of D. melanogaster (2000)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2000-03-24
    Description: One of the rewards of having a Drosophila melanogaster whole-genome sequence will be the potential to understand the molecular bases for structural features of chromosomes that have been a long-standing puzzle. Analysis of 2.6 megabases of sequence from the tip of the X chromosome of Drosophila identifies 273 genes. Cloned DNAs from the characteristic bulbous structure at the tip of the X chromosome in the region of the broad complex display an unusual pattern of in situ hybridization. Sequence analysis revealed that this region comprises 154 kilobases of DNA flanked by 1.2-kilobases of inverted repeats, each composed of a 350-base pair satellite related element. Thus, some aspects of chromosome structure appear to be revealed directly within the DNA sequence itself.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Benos, P V -- Gatt, M K -- Ashburner, M -- Murphy, L -- Harris, D -- Barrell, B -- Ferraz, C -- Vidal, S -- Brun, C -- Demailles, J -- Cadieu, E -- Dreano, S -- Gloux, S -- Lelaure, V -- Mottier, S -- Galibert, F -- Borkova, D -- Minana, B -- Kafatos, F C -- Louis, C -- Siden-Kiamos, I -- Bolshakov, S -- Papagiannakis, G -- Spanos, L -- Cox, S -- Madueno, E -- de Pablos, B -- Modolell, J -- Peter, A -- Schottler, P -- Werner, M -- Mourkioti, F -- Beinert, N -- Dowe, G -- Schafer, U -- Jackle, H -- Bucheton, A -- Callister, D M -- Campbell, L A -- Darlamitsou, A -- Henderson, N S -- McMillan, P J -- Salles, C -- Tait, E A -- Valenti, P -- Saunder, R D -- Glover, D M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 24;287(5461):2220-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The European Bioinformatics Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton Hall, Cambridge CB10 1SD, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10731137" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The genome of the kinetoplastid parasite, Leishmania major (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-07-16
    Description: Leishmania species cause a spectrum of human diseases in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. We have sequenced the 36 chromosomes of the 32.8-megabase haploid genome of Leishmania major (Friedlin strain) and predict 911 RNA genes, 39 pseudogenes, and 8272 protein-coding genes, of which 36% can be ascribed a putative function. These include genes involved in host-pathogen interactions, such as proteolytic enzymes, and extensive machinery for synthesis of complex surface glycoconjugates. The organization of protein-coding genes into long, strand-specific, polycistronic clusters and lack of general transcription factors in the L. major, Trypanosoma brucei, and Trypanosoma cruzi (Tritryp) genomes suggest that the mechanisms regulating RNA polymerase II-directed transcription are distinct from those operating in other eukaryotes, although the trypanosomatids appear capable of chromatin remodeling. Abundant RNA-binding proteins are encoded in the Tritryp genomes, consistent with active posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1470643/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1470643/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ivens, Alasdair C -- Peacock, Christopher S -- Worthey, Elizabeth A -- Murphy, Lee -- Aggarwal, Gautam -- Berriman, Matthew -- Sisk, Ellen -- Rajandream, Marie-Adele -- Adlem, Ellen -- Aert, Rita -- Anupama, Atashi -- Apostolou, Zina -- Attipoe, Philip -- Bason, Nathalie -- Bauser, Christopher -- Beck, Alfred -- Beverley, Stephen M -- Bianchettin, Gabriella -- Borzym, Katja -- Bothe, Gordana -- Bruschi, Carlo V -- Collins, Matt -- Cadag, Eithon -- Ciarloni, Laura -- Clayton, Christine -- Coulson, Richard M R -- Cronin, Ann -- Cruz, Angela K -- Davies, Robert M -- De Gaudenzi, Javier -- Dobson, Deborah E -- Duesterhoeft, Andreas -- Fazelina, Gholam -- Fosker, Nigel -- Frasch, Alberto Carlos -- Fraser, Audrey -- Fuchs, Monika -- Gabel, Claudia -- Goble, Arlette -- Goffeau, Andre -- Harris, David -- Hertz-Fowler, Christiane -- Hilbert, Helmut -- Horn, David -- Huang, Yiting -- Klages, Sven -- Knights, Andrew -- Kube, Michael -- Larke, Natasha -- Litvin, Lyudmila -- Lord, Angela -- Louie, Tin -- Marra, Marco -- Masuy, David -- Matthews, Keith -- Michaeli, Shulamit -- Mottram, Jeremy C -- Muller-Auer, Silke -- Munden, Heather -- Nelson, Siri -- Norbertczak, Halina -- Oliver, Karen -- O'neil, Susan -- Pentony, Martin -- Pohl, Thomas M -- Price, Claire -- Purnelle, Benedicte -- Quail, Michael A -- Rabbinowitsch, Ester -- Reinhardt, Richard -- Rieger, Michael -- Rinta, Joel -- Robben, Johan -- Robertson, Laura -- Ruiz, Jeronimo C -- Rutter, Simon -- Saunders, David -- Schafer, Melanie -- Schein, Jacquie -- Schwartz, David C -- Seeger, Kathy -- Seyler, Amber -- Sharp, Sarah -- Shin, Heesun -- Sivam, Dhileep -- Squares, Rob -- Squares, Steve -- Tosato, Valentina -- Vogt, Christy -- Volckaert, Guido -- Wambutt, Rolf -- Warren, Tim -- Wedler, Holger -- Woodward, John -- Zhou, Shiguo -- Zimmermann, Wolfgang -- Smith, Deborah F -- Blackwell, Jenefer M -- Stuart, Kenneth D -- Barrell, Bart -- Myler, Peter J -- R01 AI040599/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI053667/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI040599/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jul 15;309(5733):436-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire CB10 1SA, UK. alicat@sanger.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16020728" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Genome of the host-cell transforming parasite Theileria annulata compared with T. parva (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-07-05
    Description: Theileria annulata and T. parva are closely related protozoan parasites that cause lymphoproliferative diseases of cattle. We sequenced the genome of T. annulata and compared it with that of T. parva to understand the mechanisms underlying transformation and tropism. Despite high conservation of gene sequences and synteny, the analysis reveals unequally expanded gene families and species-specific genes. We also identify divergent families of putative secreted polypeptides that may reduce immune recognition, candidate regulators of host-cell transformation, and a Theileria-specific protein domain [frequently associated in Theileria (FAINT)] present in a large number of secreted proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pain, Arnab -- Renauld, Hubert -- Berriman, Matthew -- Murphy, Lee -- Yeats, Corin A -- Weir, William -- Kerhornou, Arnaud -- Aslett, Martin -- Bishop, Richard -- Bouchier, Christiane -- Cochet, Madeleine -- Coulson, Richard M R -- Cronin, Ann -- de Villiers, Etienne P -- Fraser, Audrey -- Fosker, Nigel -- Gardner, Malcolm -- Goble, Arlette -- Griffiths-Jones, Sam -- Harris, David E -- Katzer, Frank -- Larke, Natasha -- Lord, Angela -- Maser, Pascal -- McKellar, Sue -- Mooney, Paul -- Morton, Fraser -- Nene, Vishvanath -- O'Neil, Susan -- Price, Claire -- Quail, Michael A -- Rabbinowitsch, Ester -- Rawlings, Neil D -- Rutter, Simon -- Saunders, David -- Seeger, Kathy -- Shah, Trushar -- Squares, Robert -- Squares, Steven -- Tivey, Adrian -- Walker, Alan R -- Woodward, John -- Dobbelaere, Dirk A E -- Langsley, Gordon -- Rajandream, Marie-Adele -- McKeever, Declan -- Shiels, Brian -- Tait, Andrew -- Barrell, Bart -- Hall, Neil -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jul 1;309(5731):131-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge CB10 1SA, UK. ap2@sanger.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15994557" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A comprehensive survey of the Plasmodium life cycle by genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-01-08
    Description: Plasmodium berghei and Plasmodium chabaudi are widely used model malaria species. Comparison of their genomes, integrated with proteomic and microarray data, with the genomes of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium yoelii revealed a conserved core of 4500 Plasmodium genes in the central regions of the 14 chromosomes and highlighted genes evolving rapidly because of stage-specific selective pressures. Four strategies for gene expression are apparent during the parasites' life cycle: (i) housekeeping; (ii) host-related; (iii) strategy-specific related to invasion, asexual replication, and sexual development; and (iv) stage-specific. We observed posttranscriptional gene silencing through translational repression of messenger RNA during sexual development, and a 47-base 3' untranslated region motif is implicated in this process.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hall, Neil -- Karras, Marianna -- Raine, J Dale -- Carlton, Jane M -- Kooij, Taco W A -- Berriman, Matthew -- Florens, Laurence -- Janssen, Christoph S -- Pain, Arnab -- Christophides, Georges K -- James, Keith -- Rutherford, Kim -- Harris, Barbara -- Harris, David -- Churcher, Carol -- Quail, Michael A -- Ormond, Doug -- Doggett, Jon -- Trueman, Holly E -- Mendoza, Jacqui -- Bidwell, Shelby L -- Rajandream, Marie-Adele -- Carucci, Daniel J -- Yates, John R 3rd -- Kafatos, Fotis C -- Janse, Chris J -- Barrell, Bart -- Turner, C Michael R -- Waters, Andrew P -- Sinden, Robert E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jan 7;307(5706):82-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Pathogen Sequencing Unit, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge CB10 1SA, UK. nhall@tigr.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15637271" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Extensive DNA inversions in the B. fragilis genome control variable gene expression (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-03-05
    Description: The obligately anaerobic bacterium Bacteroides fragilis, an opportunistic pathogen and inhabitant of the normal human colonic microbiota, exhibits considerable within-strain phase and antigenic variation of surface components. The complete genome sequence has revealed an unusual breadth (in number and in effect) of DNA inversion events that potentially control expression of many different components, including surface and secreted components, regulatory molecules, and restriction-modification proteins. Invertible promoters of two different types (12 group 1 and 11 group 2) were identified. One group has inversion crossover (fix) sites similar to the hix sites of Salmonella typhimurium. There are also four independent intergenic shufflons that potentially alter the expression and function of varied genes. The composition of the 10 different polysaccharide biosynthesis gene clusters identified (7 with associated invertible promoters) suggests a mechanism of synthesis similar to the O-antigen capsules of Escherichia coli.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cerdeno-Tarraga, Ana M -- Patrick, Sheila -- Crossman, Lisa C -- Blakely, Garry -- Abratt, Val -- Lennard, Nicola -- Poxton, Ian -- Duerden, Brian -- Harris, Barbara -- Quail, Mike A -- Barron, Andrew -- Clark, Louise -- Corton, Craig -- Doggett, Jonathan -- Holden, Matthew T G -- Larke, Natasha -- Line, Alexandra -- Lord, Angela -- Norbertczak, Halina -- Ormond, Doug -- Price, Claire -- Rabbinowitsch, Ester -- Woodward, John -- Barrell, Bart -- Parkhill, Julian -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Mar 4;307(5714):1463-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, CB10 1SA, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15746427" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    SCP1, a 356 023 bp linear plasmid adapted to the ecology and developmental biology of its host, Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) (2004)

    Notes: The sequencing of the entire genetic complement of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) has been completed with the determination of the 365 023 bp sequence of the linear plasmid SCP1. Remarkably, the functional distribution of SCP1 genes somewhat resembles that of the chromosome: predicted gene products/functions include ECF sigma factors, antibiotic biosynthesis, a gamma-butyrolactone signalling system, members of the actinomycete-specific Wbl class of regulatory proteins and 14 secreted proteins. Some of these genes are among the 18 that contain a TTA codon, making them targets for the developmentally important tRNA encoded by the bldA gene. RNA analysis and gene fusions showed that one of the TTA-containing genes is part of a large bldA-dependent operon, the gene products of which include three proteins isolated from the spore surface by detergent washing (SapC, D and E), and several probable metabolic enzymes. SCP1 shows much evidence of recombinational interactions with other replicons and transposable elements during its history. For example, it has two sets of partitioning genes (which may explain why an integrated copy of SCP1 partially suppressed the defective partitioning of a parAB-deleted chromosome during sporulation). SCP1 carries a cluster of probable transfer determinants and genes encoding likely DNA polymerase III subunits, but it lacks an obvious candidate gene for the terminal protein associated with its ends. This may be related to atypical features of its end sequences.
