#415 ntr:X element core sequence

[Janos Demeter]

Hi,

I'd like to ask for a new term for SGD. The term is 'X element core sequence' and our definition of it is: "The only region shared by all chromosome ends, the X element core sequence is a small conserved element (~475 bp) that contains an ARS sequence and in most cases an Abf1p binding site. Between these is a GC-rich region nearly identical to the meiosis-specific regulatory sequence URS1."

pmid:7785338 and 8005434

IT is part_of a "telomere" and also is_a "repeat region".

Thank you,
Janos

THis term already exists X_element: The X element is a conserved region, of the telomere, of ~475 bp that contains an ARS sequence and in most cases an Abf1p binding site.

This new term looks like is is a subsequence of this, right?
Also, we currently have X_element as a kind of conserved region. Do you agree with this or think it could be located somewhere else?

Do all ARS sequences occur within this element?

Thanks

Hi Karen,

Thanks for checking! Actually, can you just make this ('X element core sequence') an alias of the previous X_element term? Sorry for the confusion,
Janos
