Comparing genomes with rearrangements and segmental duplications
MOTIVATION Large-scale evolutionary events such as genomic rearrange.ments and segmental duplications form an important part of the evolution of genomes and are widely studied from both biological and computational perspectives. A basic computational problem is to infer these events in the evolutionary history for given modern genomes, a task for which many algorithms have been proposed under v...
متن کاملSegmental duplications mediate novel, clinically relevant chromosome rearrangements.
Copy number studies have led to an explosion in the discovery of new segmental duplication-mediated deletions and duplications. We have analyzed copy number changes in 2419 patients referred for clinical array comparative genomic hybridization studies. Twenty-three percent of the abnormal copy number changes we found are immediately flanked by segmental duplications > or =10 kb in size and > or...
متن کاملEvidence for Growth of Microbial Genomes by Short Segmental Duplications
We show that textual analysis of microbial genomes reveal telling footprints of the early evolution of the genomes. The frequencies of word occurrence of random DNA sequences considered as texts in their four nucleotides are expected to obey Poisson distributions. It is noticed that for words less than nine letters the average width of the distributions for complete microbial genomes is many ti...

متن کاملGrowth of microbial genomes by short segmental duplications
A DNA sequence can be analyzed as a text of four letters by counting the times each word in the set of k-letter words occurs in the text. If the text is random and long enough, then the frequencies of word occurrence are expected to obey a Poisson distribution. Examination of complete microbial genomes shows that for k less than 9, the distribution has a width many times the width of a Poisson ...
