Abstract
High resolution melting curve (HRM) is a recent advance for the detection of SNPs. The technique measures temperature induced strand separation of short PCR amplicons, and is able to detect variation as small as one base difference between samples. It has been applied to the analysis and scan of mutations in the genes causing human diseases. In plant species, the use of this approach is limited. We applied HRM analysis to almond SNP discovery and genotyping based on the predicted SNP information derived from the almond and peach EST database. Putative SNPs were screened from almond and peach EST contigs by HRM analysis against 25 almond cultivars. All 4 classes of SNPs, INDELs and microsatellites were discriminated, and the HRM profiles of 17 amplicons were established. The PCR amplicons containing single, double and multiple SNPs produced distinctive HRM profiles. Additionally, different genotypes of INDEL and microsatellite variations were also characterised by HRM analysis. By sequencing the PCR products, 100 SNPs were validated/revealed in the HRM amplicons and their flanking regions. The results showed that the average frequency of SNPs was 1:114 bp in the genic regions, and transition to transversion ratio was 1.16:1. Rare allele frequencies of the SNPs varied from 0.02 to 0.5, and the polymorphic information contents of the SNPs were from 0.04 to 0.53 at an average of 0.31. HRM has been demonstrated to be a fast, low cost, and efficient approach for SNP discovery and genotyping, in particular, for species without much genomic information such as almond.

Abstract
Fifteen bacteriophages representative of the serological and lytic groups of the International Typing Set for Staphylococcus aureus were examined for genomic homology by DNA hybridization and by analysis of high resolution thermal denaturation profiles. Phages 11 and 80 alpha, not part of the set, were also examined. DNA homology measured by filter hybridization showed values ranging from near zero to 88 per cent in pair-wise comparisons. Cluster analysis of these data by standard numerical taxonomical methods yielded clusters which closely reflect the subdivision of the international set on the basis of serological reactions. High resolution thermal denaturation analysis yielded characteristic profiles for each phage DNA, with members closely related by hybridization analysis showing only minor differences. Quantitative analysis of the extent of overlap of these profiles generated relational values which were subjected to the same numerical taxonomic analysis as for the DNA hybridization data. The resultant dendrogram was qualitatively different only in minor respects from that derived from the hybridization analyses, but quantitatively homology was greater by 80 per cent or more for the DNAs which were least related according to the hybridization analyses. This upward shift in measured homology appears to reflect the similar base composition of the DNAs from these phages. Statistical comparison of the homology data obtained by the two methods showed them to be significantly correlated. These results indicate that the International Typing Set consists of phages which all appear to be related to a greater or lesser extent. If, as the history of the collection of these phages indicates, they are a random sample of aureophages, then this group of phages may represent a common genetic pool within which recombination, mutation, and genome rearrangement occur to generate unique individual phages.

Abstract
Genetic recombination between the 3 RIB (ribosomal) loci of yeast mitochondrial DNA is under the control of a mitochondrial locus named omega (with alleles omega+ and omega-) which is tightly linked to the RIBI locus. We have attempted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms(s) involved by using rho- mutants with similar (RIBI+ RIB2+ RIB3(0) genotype but different recombination properties in rho- x rho+ crosses. These were obtained through pedigree analysis and their mitochondrial DNAs were mapped on a high resolution physical map of the RIB section that had been built by analysis of thermal denaturation profiles and electron microscopy of partially denatured molecules. By comparison of physical and genetic data it can be shown that possession of the omega+ allele by the rho- cell is not sufficient for its expression in crosses, some additional DNA segments(s) in the ribosomal region being needed. This result and several features of the rho+ x rho- crosses are discussed in the light of current concepts in mitochondrial genetics of yeast and the recently discovered fact that omega+ and omega- strains differ by the presence of a 1000 base pairs insertion in the former.

Abstract
Fine structures which appear in the optical melting profile of DNA are examined from both the experimental and theoretical aspects. After a brief historical survey of the DNA melting experiments during the pre-fine-structure era in Section II, the high temperature-resolution experimental techniques which are essential to the investigation of fine structure are described in Section III. Then, the current status of the high-resolution study is reviewed first by a phenomenological description of the melting profile (Section IV) and then of the refolding profile (Section V), where a general idea about the cooperatively melting region and several factors affecting it is given. Sections VI and VII are devoted to the review of current theoretical works. Several well-established theoretical frameworks which correlate the base sequence with the melting phenomena are examined in terms of their rigorousness and usefulness. The molecular thermodynamic parameters concerning the DNA melting which have been evaluated by several research groups are compared and discussed. Finally, in Section VIII, current ideas on the correlation between the fine structure and genetic functions and genetic maps are reviewed. Some future problems relating to the fine structure are also discussed.

Abstract
We have analyzed the restriction digest patterns of the mitochondrial DNA from 41 cytoplasmic petite strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that have been extensively characterized with respect to genetic markers. Each mitochondrial DNA was digested with seven restriction endonucleases (EcoRI, HPaI, HindIII, BamHI, HhaI, SalI, and PstI) which together make 41 cuts in grande mitochondrial DNA and for which we have derived fragment maps. The petite mitochondrial DNAs were also analyzed with HpaII, HaeIII, and AluI, each of which makes more than 80 cleavages in grande mitochondrial DNA. On the basis of the restriction patterns observed (i.e., only one fragment migrating differently from grande for a single deletion, and more than one for multiple deletions) and by comparing petite and grande mitochondrial DNA restriction maps, the petite clones could be classified into two main groups: (1) petites representing a single deletion of grande mitochondrial DNA and (2) petites containing multiple deletions of the grande mitochondrial DNA resulting in rearranged sequences. Single deletion petites may retain a large portion of the grande mitochondrial genome or may be of low kinetic cimplexity. Many petites which are scored as single continuous deletions by genetic criteria were later demonstrated to be internally deleted by restriction endonuclease analysis. Heterogeneous sequences, manifested by the presence of sub-stoichiometric amounts of some restriction fragments, may accompany the single or multiple deletions. Single deletions with heterogeneous sequences remain useful for mapping if the low concentration sequences represent a subset of the stoichiometric bands. Using a group of petites which retain single continuous regions of the grande mitochondrial DNA, we have physically mapped antibiotic resistance and mit- markers to regions of the grande restriction map as follows: C (99.3--1.4 map units)--OXI-1 (2.5--15.7)--OXI-2 (18.5--25)--P (28.1--34.2)--OXI-3 (32.2--61.2--OII (60--62)--COB (64.6--80.8--0I (80.4--85.7)--E (95--98.9).

Abstract
The double-stranded RNAs from bacteriophage phi6 and the replicative form of mengovirus denature upon heating in a series of abrupt steps which resemble the subtransitions (thermalites) observed within the high resolution profiles of small, naturally occurring DNA molecules. Such RNA thermalites are approximately an order of magnitude narrower than typical thermal subtransitions of nominally single-stranded RNA. We conclude that the same features of nucleotide sequence that give rise to cooperative denaturation in DNA genomes are to be found also in RNA genomes. Thus, high resolution thermal denaturation profiles are useful for characterizing double-stranded RNA molecules as well as native DNA in the size range of common viruses. A medium containing dimethylsulfoxide was required to lower the Tm of the RNA samples to a satisfactory temperature range. For double-stranded RNA in 50% dimethylsulfoxide, the dependence of Tm on G . C composition was greater than that of DNA in the same medium and also greater than that of double-stranded RNA in an aqueous medium. The fact that RNA thermalites are broader than DNA thermalites and that the melting temperature of double-stranded RNA has a greater dependence on base composition than that of DNA, indicates that at least one of the thermodynamic parameters for double helix formation in RNA is different from that in DNA.

Abstract
We have studied recombination between repetitive mitochondrial DNAs from cytoplasmic petite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mitochondrial DNA was isolated from two parental p- mutants, carrying respectively the CR and the ER mitochondrial genetic markers, and from two p- CRER diploid genetic recombinants. These two recombinants, obtained from the same parental petites, differ in their degrees of suppressiveness. The p- mitochondrial DNAs were analyzed by DNA-DNA hybridization, high resolution melting and reassociation kinetics. It was found that the repeating unit of the CR parental p- DNA is 3 to 4 times longer than that of the ER parent. There is very little sequence homology between these two p- mitochondrial DNAs and almost all parental sequences are integrated into the recombined molecules. Mitochondrial DNA from both types of recombinants seems to contain the two parental repeating units in the ratio 1:1.

Abstract
1. Retention or loss of mitochondrial markers CR321, OR1, PR454, TR (gene loci RIB1, OLI1, PAR1, TSM1 respectively has been analysed in a large number of ethidium bromide induced primary rho-clones. Retention of one or more of the four markers with a single clone was observed frequently, only 20 to 25% of clones were found to be (TOCOOOPO). Primary clones retaining two or more of the four markers were found to be mixed, i.e. the primary rho- cell contained a heterogeneous population of variously deleted mitDNA molecules which segregated into different cell lines in the corresponding primary clone. 2. A representative sample of the population of ethidium bromide induced rho- mutants has been analysed by a first subcloning performed after some 30 cell generations of vegetative multiplication in the abscence of the drug. At this level the heterogeneous population of mitDNA molecules, generated by the mutagenic treatment in the primary cell, has been sorted out. The cells forming secondary clones are thus essentially homoplasmic. In contrast to primary clones, genotypes of secondary clones therefore could be determined unambiguously, and the frequency of cell types can be regarded as a faithful representation of the frequency of mitDNA molecules. Retention of markers was low, in less than 2% of secondary clones one or several markers have been found. This observation has been interpreted as indicating that induction of rho-mutants by ethidium bromide is accompanied by deletion of very large sequences of mitDNA in a very large fraction of mitDNA molecules. 3. Five individual rho-clones retaining the four markers TRCRORPR have been isolated and analysed for spontaneous deletion of one or several of these markers during successive subclonings (pedigree analysis). High genetic stability (98-99.5% per cell generation) has been observed in these clones. 4. A method has been developed allowing an unambiguous determination of the order of the four markers on a circular map. It is based on the concomitant loss of two markers and retention of the other two markers (double loss/double retention analysis). The results of four out of five pedigrees of individual rho-clones analysed (spontaneous deletion) and the results of the analysis of populations of secondary rho-clones (ethidium bromide induced deletion) were in full agreement and the order of genes has been determined as being P-T-C-O-P. In the fifth pedigree results suggest an inversion of the T and C markers. 5. Relative distances between pairs of markers have been derived from the frequencies of separation of markers by deletion and were found to be C-T less than C-O less than T-O less than T-P less than C-P less than O-P. Linkage of the four markers could be established, and distances calculated are additive. 6. The general relevance of this approach of mapping by deletion and the methods used for the determination of order and distances of mitochondrial genes has been discussed. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED)

Abstract
1. We have studied mtDNA purified from nine p- petite mutants in which most of the wild type sequence has been deleted but the genetic markers conferring resistance to erythromycin of oligomycin or paromomycin have been retained. 2. All mtDNA contained numerous circular molecules. The size distribution of the circles conformed to a multimeric series which was characteristic for each mutant. We conclude that any one region of the wild type mtDNA molecule, when maintained in a p- clone, while other regions are deleted, can give rise to a multimeric series of circles. 3. In tandem straight repetitive mtDNAs the circles contain odd and even number of unit sequence repeats. In palindrome repetitive mtDNAs the circles contain mostly even number of unit sequence repeats. Thus, one straight or two inverted repeats constitute the monomeric unit of circularization. 4. We found that the frequency distribution of circles follows on a number basis a simple rule: frequency of numeric circles = 1/n frequency of monomeric circles, for n = 2, 3 and 4. Thus, on a mass basis each class represents the same fraction of total mtDNA and the mitochondrial genome has the same probability to constitute one monomeric circle or to be a part of n-meric circle. We interpret this finding that in vivo all molecules are circular. 5. Four mutants displayed a single multimeric series of circles ranging from 0.3 mum to 2.4 mum monomer circle length. Five mutants displayed multiple different multimeric series. In the latter case, the longest unit sequence repeat length was equal to the sum of the two shorter unit sequence repeat lengths. Sorting out, recombination and internal deletions of circular repetitive p- mtDNA molecules are discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondrial transfer RNA genes have been ordered relative to the position of five mitochondrial drug resistance markers, namely, chloramphenicol (C),1 erythromycin (E), oligomycin I and II (OI, OII), and paromomycin (P). Forty-six petite yeast clones that were genetically characterized with respect to these markers were used for a study of these relationships. Different regions of the mitochondrial genome are deleted in these individual mutants, resulting in variable loss of genetic markers. Mitochondrial DNA was isolated from each mutant strain and hybridized with eleven individual mitochondrial transfer RNAs. The following results were obtained: i) Of the seven petite clones that retained C, E, and P resistance markers (but not O1 or O11), four carried all eleven transfer RNA genes examined; the other three clones lost several transfer RNA genes, probably by secondary internal deletion; ii) Prolyl and valyl transfer RNA genes were located close to the P marker, whereas the histidyl transfer RNA gene was close to the C marker; iii) Except for a glutamyl transfer RNA gene that was loosely associated with the O1 region, no other transfer RNA genes were found in petite clones retaining only the O1 and/or the OII markers; and iv) Two distinct mitochondrial genes were found for glutamyl transfer RNA, they were not homologous in DNA sequence and were located at two separate loci. The data indicate that the petite mitochondrial genome is the result of a primary deletion followed by successive additional deletions. Thus an unequivocal gene arrangement cannot be readily established by deletion mapping with petite mutants alone. Nevertheless, we have derived a tentative circular map of the yeast mitochondrial genome from the data; the map indicates that all but one of the transfer RNA genes are found between the C and P markers without forming a tight cluster. The following arrangement is suggested: -P-pro-val-ile-(phe, ala, tyr, asp)-glu2- (lys-leu)-his-C-E-O1-glu1-OII-P-.

Abstract
The length distribution in sucrose sedimentation gradient of the newly-synthesized pulse-labelled mitochondrial DNA has been established at an early stage of depression in wild type yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This stage corresponded to the beginning of mitochondrial differentiation. The radioactive DNA was longer (mean lengths 5, 10 and 22-25 mu) than the preexisting cold DNA (mean length 6.5 mu with two shoulders at 4 mum and 10 mum and one minor peak at 2-2.5 mum). These date confirm that the mean size of the different length populations of linear yeast mitochondrial DNA are under physiological control. Chase experiments were undertaken as follows. The yeast cells were uniformly prelabelled under anaerobiosis. Therefore the mitochondrial DNA molecules were short. Respiratory adaptation was performed in a cold medium and the lengthening process was induced. The specific activities of the long molecules made up during the respiratory adaptation did mot markedly differ from that of prelabelled DNA (decrease of specific activity less than 18 per cent). Molecules as long as 40 mum were also recorded. This lengthening seems to proceed through a non reciprocal exchange of polynucleotide stretches between preexisting molecules. We call it rearrangement. It occurs during the differentiation of mitochondria. Much of the mitochondrial DNA is maintained whereas a small amount of DNA is synthesized. This hypothesis is favoured by recent genetical and physical studies on mitochondrial recombination in yeast.

Abstract
An unusual property of GR25a [rho+] was the production of 20 to 30 percent [rho-] zygote colonies when crossed to a tester strain lacking mitochondrial DNA. Spontaneous [rho-] isolates of GR25a [rho+] were observed to be highly suppressive and to contain mitochondrial DNA of a parental buoyant density (1.685 g/cm3). Three ethidium bromide induced neutral petites of GR25 a [rho+] did not have detectable mitochondrial DNA and were neutral in crosses to [rho+] strains. Seven [rho-] zygote colony isolates obtained from crossing GR25a [rho+] to a neutral peptite were shown to contain abnormal mitochondrial DNA. Six zygote colony isolates had mitochondrial DNA of a buoyant density less than, or equal to, GR25a (1.682 - 1.685 g/cm3), whereas one isolate had a buoyant density greater than GR25a (1.688 g/cm3). It was suggested that abnormal mitochondrial DNA is generated during the mating reaction.
