Comparative genomics of human stem cell factor (SCF)
Stem cell factor (SCF) is a critical protein with key roles in the cell such as hematopoiesis, gametogenesis and melanogenesis. In the present study a comparative analysis on nucleotide sequences of SCF was performed in Humanoids using bioinformatics tools including NCBI-BLAST, MEGA6, and JBrowse. Our analysis of nucleotide sequences to find closely evolved organisms with high similarity by NCB...
متن کاملTick genomics--coming of age.
Many challenges face tick genomics. Ticks have large genomes and their estimated sizes vary from 1.04~7.1 x10(9) bp, about one third to over two times the size of the human genome. Karyotype studies have revealed a range in chromosome number and the sex determining system seems to be primarily driven by a XY or a XO format. Re-association hybridization kinetics indicates that the bulk of the ti...
متن کاملComparative Genomics
The comparative approach in biology is probably as old as this science itself. Systematic comparative analysis of organisms can be traced at least to the eighteenth century naturalist Carl Linnaeus, who developed the hierarchical classification of plant and animal species on the basis of detailed observations of comparative morphology. The first half of the nineteenth century was marked by outs...
متن کاملComparative Genomics
The genomes from three mammals (human, mouse, and rat), two worms, and several yeasts have been sequenced, and more genomes will be completed in the near future for comparison with those of the major model organisms. Scientists have used various methods to align and compare the sequenced genomes to address critical issues in genome function and evolution. This review covers some of the major ne...
متن کاملAncient-Pathogen Genomics: Coming of Age?
The potentially debilitating zoonotic disease brucellosis is thought to have been a scourge of mankind throughout history. New work by Kay et al. [mBio 5(4):e01337-14, 2014] adds to evidence for this by exploiting the huge advances in next-generation sequencing technology and applying shotgun metagenomics to a calcified nodule obtained from a 14th-century skeleton from Sardinia. While not the f...
