The Identification 5S nrDNA Unit Classes in Genera of Plants and Selected Non-Vertebrate Animals and Their Potential for the Study of Species Relationships
Abstract
(ISSN 2577-5790)
OBM Genetics is an international Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. It accepts papers addressing basic and medical aspects of genetics and epigenetics and also ethical, legal and social issues. Coverage includes clinical, developmental, diagnostic, evolutionary, genomic, mitochondrial, molecular, oncological, population and reproductive aspects. It publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). There is no restriction on the length of the papers and we encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible.

About this Topic
World food security is mostly proportionate to the development and adoption of new biotechnological innovations to produce novel crop varieties, capable of adapting to the rapidly changing Earth climate and explosion of population. The rate of population increase is particularly alarming as it is accompanied by a parallel rate of depletion of cultivable land areas. The emergence of late of the persistent interest in terraforming other planets may be perceived as an expression by humanity of a need for finding new beginnings and seeking refuge on other planets. Repairing our own plant and/or adapting new ones to our needs must, however, begin with innovative technologies which would allow the development of agronomic crops adaptable to wide ranges of soil and climate conditions on this planet and elsewhere. Plant biochemistry and genomics are the two disciplines most suited to offer biology solutions to environmental issues such as climate and soil problems. The purpose of this special issue of OBM Genetics is to bring together original research articles that describe the latest innovations in the areas of plant biochemistry and genomics and their potential impact on solving climate and soil conditions, with a special emphasis on promising tools, e.g. CRISPR genome editing.
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue. LIDSEN distributes articles under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License in an open-access model. The authors own the copyright to the article, and the article can be free to access, distribute, and reuse provided that the original work is correctly cited.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Research articles and review articles are highly invited. Authors are encouraged to send the tentative title and abstract of the planned paper to the Editorial Office (genetics@lidsen.com) for record. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.

The Identification 5S nrDNA Unit Classes in Genera of Plants and Selected Non-Vertebrate Animals and Their Potential for the Study of Species RelationshipsAbstract We have investigated the utility of the 5S nrDNA, a conserved, multicopy gene family organized into tandem repeats as a tool for genetic analyses in a wide variety of genera. Previous work in the Triticeae (Poaceae) demonstrated that the prior identification of unit classes based upon the 5S nrDNA NTS, greatly facilitates analysis. We investig [...] |
