in human. In other tunicates, all mitochondrial genes are on the same DNA strand
and 24 tRNAs are present, instead of 22 in other chordates (reviewed by [[Gissi and coll.,
2008|biblio/18612321]]).
- - The main groups of retrotransposons present in _O. dioica_ are Odin (Oikopleura dioicanon-LTR),
- Tor (Ty3/gypsy Oikopleura retrotransposon), DIRS1-like and Penelope-like
- [[Volff and coll., 2004|biblio/15254255]].
- The mitochondrial COI sequence AY116609 and the 18S rRNA sequence AB013014
in Genbank are probably a contamination and a misidentification, respectively
([[Sakaguchi and coll., 2017|biblio/10.1007_s12562-017-1106-0]]).
([[Frey and Pucker, 2020|biblio/32085510]]).
- Operons are enriched for houskeeping genes and depleted for developmental genes
([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]).
- - “LTR retrotransposons account for a significant part of the indel polymorphism
- in the _Oikopleura_ genome.”
- “Tor-3G elements are frequently inserted into exons and can be transcribed
- together with their host gene, although transcripts initiated in the LTR
- are also detected (Figure S11).”
- “The low allelic frequency of Tor-3G insertions is correlated with the
- almost exclusive occurrence of heterozygous genotypes in the populations.
- Moreover, experimental crosses between selected heterozygous parents for
- the same insertion have thus far not resulted in homozygous offsprings.”
- ([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]).
- - SINE and MITE account for a large part of genome expansion in larger oikopleurid
- species ([[Naville and coll., 2019|biblio/30880010]]).
- “Highly conserved elements (HCEs) lie around these developmental genes.”
“Spots of sequence ultraconservation are almost systematically located
in non coding regions, including introns that are larger than average
from other chrodates ([[Berná and Alvarez-Valin, 2015|biblio/26228312]]).
