Analysis of segmental duplications via duplication distance
MOTIVATION Segmental duplications are common in mammalian genomes, but their evolutionary origins remain mysterious. A major difficulty in analyzing segmental duplications is that many duplications are complex mosaics of fragments of numerous other segmental duplications. RESULTS We introduce a novel measure called duplication distance that describes the minimum number of duplications necessa...
متن کاملA segmental genomic duplication generates a functional intron
An intron is an extended genomic feature whose function requires multiple constrained positions-donor and acceptor splice sites, a branch point, a polypyrimidine tract and suitable splicing enhancers-that may be distributed over hundreds or thousands of nucleotides. New introns are therefore unlikely to emerge by incremental accumulation of functional sub-elements. Here we demonstrate that a fu...
متن کاملThe Evolutionary Fates of a Large Segmental Duplication in Mouse.
Gene duplication and loss are major sources of genetic polymorphism in populations, and are important forces shaping the evolution of genome content and organization. We have reconstructed the origin and history of a 127-kbp segmental duplication, R2d, in the house mouse (Mus musculus). R2d contains a single protein-coding gene, Cwc22 De novo assembly of both the ancestral (R2d1) and the derive...
متن کاملA model of segmental duplication formation in Drosophila melanogaster.
Segmental duplications (SDs) are low-copy repeats of DNA segments that have long been recognized to be involved in genome organization and evolution. But, to date, the mechanism of their formation remains obscure. We propose a model for SD formation that we name "duplication-dependent strand annealing" (DDSA). This model is a variant of the synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) model--a d...
متن کاملDblox: a genome-wide test for ancient segmental duplication
UNLABELLED Dblox and RDblox provide a simple statistical test for duplicated genomic structure; the same programs can also be used to identify putatively duplicated regions. The method focuses on ancient duplication events involving protein-coding genes. AVAILABILITY http://www.biol.sc.edu/~austin/
