Prediction of Conserved Motif Networks based on Comparative Genomics
Discovery of regulatory motifs in unaligned DNA sequences remains a fundamental problem in computational biology. Most motif finding algorithms perform well in finding over-represented substrings in a small collection of sequences. This requires some prior knowledge about the functional relations among genes in a study in order to select a good collection of promoters. Microarray gene profiling...
متن کاملGene Regulatory Networks in the Genomics Era
The precise regulation of gene expression is critical to the normal development and biological function of all organisms. Dysregulation of gene expression during early development can result in a spectrum of failures ranging from minor defects to the termination of development. In adult life, dysregulation can lead to the uncontrolled cell proliferation of cancer or programmed cell death leadin...
متن کاملToward understanding the evolution of vertebrate gene regulatory networks: comparative genomics and epigenomic approaches.
Vertebrates, as most animal phyla, originated >500 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion, and progressively radiated into the extant classes. Inferring the evolutionary history of the group requires understanding the architecture of the developmental programs that constrain the vertebrate anatomy. Here, I review recent comparative genomic and epigenomic studies, based on ChIP-seq and ...
متن کاملComparative Transcriptomics of Steinernema and Caenorhabditis Single Embryos Reveals Orthologous Gene Expression Convergence during Late Embryogenesis
Cells express distinct sets of genes in a precise spatio-temporal manner during embryonic development. There is a wealth of information on the deterministic embryonic development of Caenorhabditis elegans, but much less is known about embryonic development in nematodes from other taxa, especially at the molecular level. We are interested in insect pathogenic nematodes from the genus Steinernema...
متن کاملComparative Genomics Reveals Accelerated Evolution in Conserved Pathways during the Diversification of Anole Lizards
Squamates include all lizards and snakes, and display some of the most diverse and extreme morphological adaptations among vertebrates. However, compared with birds and mammals, relatively few resources exist for comparative genomic analyses of squamates, hampering efforts to understand the molecular bases of phenotypic diversification in such a speciose clade. In particular, the ∼400 species o...
