Localized hypermutation and associated gene losses in legume chloroplast genomes
KAVANAGH, THOMAS; WOLFE, KENNETH; POWELL, ANTOINETTE (2010)Point mutations result from errors made during DNA replication or repair, so they are usually expected to be homogeneous across all regions of a genome. However, we have found a region of chloroplast DNA in plants related ... -
Versatile Dual Reporter Gene Systems for Investigating Stop Codon Readthrough in Plants
KAVANAGH, THOMAS; LAO, NGA THI (2009)Background Translation is most often terminated when a ribosome encounters the first in-frame stop codon (UAA, UAG or UGA) in an mRNA. However, many viruses (and some cellular mRNAs) contain ?stop? codons that cause a ...
