A Method for Comparing Three Genomes
The large amount of data from complete genomes gave rise to the need for computational tools to analyze and compare them. In this work, we propose a method for comparing three genomes simultaneously, at the basic level of their sequences. This comparison can indicate the set of genes shared by genomes, giving interesting clues about the metabolic pathways and proteins related to particular issu...
متن کاملBird mitochondrial gene order: insight from 3 warbler mitochondrial genomes.
Two main gene orders exist in birds: the ancestral gene order and the remnant control region (CR) 2 gene order. These gene orders differ by the presence of 1 or 2 copies of the CR, respectively. Among songbirds, Oscines were thought to follow the ancestral gene order, with the exception of the lyrebird and Phylloscopus warblers. Here, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of ...
متن کاملComparing Genomes
s new ways of using biological material to solve difficult computational problems continue to emerge, several fundamental questions arise: Are these techniques practical? If so, what are the key appli-cations? Do the techniques scale to larger prob-lems? Do they give us anything more than a few elegant theoretical insights into the nature of com-putation? Ultimately, is this a productive endeav...
متن کاملA covarion-based method for detecting molecular adaptation: application to the evolution of primate mitochondrial genomes.
A new method for detecting site-specific variation of evolutionary rate (the so-called covarion process) from protein sequence data is proposed. It involves comparing the maximum-likelihood estimates of the replacement rate of an amino acid site in distinct subtrees of a large tree. This approach allows detection of covarion at the gene or the amino acid levels. The method is applied to mammali...
متن کاملModeling and comparing the organization of circular genomes
MOTIVATION Most prokaryotic genomes are circular with a single chromosome (called circular genomes), which consist of bacteria and archaea. Orthologous genes (abbreviated as orthologs) are genes directly evolved from an ancestor gene, and can be traced through different species in evolution. Shared orthologs between bacterial genomes have been used to measure their genome evolution. Here, organ...
