text: 'It is commonly believed that both the average length and the frequency of
microsatellites correlate with genome size. We have estimated the frequency and
the average length for 69 perfect dinucleotide microsatellites in an insect with
an exceptionally large genome: Chorthippus biguttulus (Orthoptera, Acrididae).
Dinucleotide microsatellites are not more frequent in C. biguttulus, but repeat
arrays are 1.4 to 2 times longer than in other insect species. The average repeat
number in C. biguttulus lies in the range of higher vertebrates. Natural populations
are highly variable. At least 30 alleles per locus were found and the expected
heterozygosity is above 0.95 at all three loci studied. In contrast, the observed
heterozygosity is much lower (≤0.51), which could be caused by long null alleles.'

text: The polymeric ubiquitin (poly-u) genes are composed of tandem 228-bp repeats
with no spacer sequences between individual monomer units. Ubiquitin is one of
the most conserved proteins known to date, and the individual units within a number
of poly-u genes are significantly more similar to each other than would be expected
if each unit evolved independently. It has been proposed that the rather striking
similarity among poly-u monomers in some lineages is caused by a series of homogenization
events. Here we report the sequences of the polyubiquitin-C (Ubc) genes in two
mouse strains. Analysis of these sequences, as well as those of the previously
reported Chinese hamster and rat poly-u genes, supports the assertion that the
homogenization of the ubiquitin-C gene in rodents is due to unequal crossing-over
events. The sequence divergence of noncoding DNA was used to estimate the frequency
of unequal crossing-over events (6.3 x 10-5 events per generation) in the Ubc
gene, as well as to provide evidence of apparent selection in the poly-u gene.

text: Bacteriophage of the family Leviviridae have played an important role in molecular
biology where representative species, such as Qβ and MS2, have been studied as
model systems for replication, translation, and the role of secondary structure
in gene regulation. Using nucleotide sequences from the coat and replicase genes
we present the first statistical estimate of phylogeny for the family Leviviridae
using maximum-likelihood and Bayesian estimation. Our analyses reveal that the
coliphage species are a monophyletic group consisting of two clades representing
the genera Levivirus and Allolevivirus. The Pseudomonas species PP7 diverged from
its common ancestor with the coliphage prior to the ancient split between these
genera and their subsequent diversification. Differences in genome size, gene
composition, and gene expression are shown with a high probability to have changed
along the lineage leading to the Allolevivirus through gene expansion. The change
in genome size of the Allolevivirus ancestor may have catalyzed subsequent changes
that led to their current genome organization and gene expression.
