Coordinated Expression Domains in Mammalian Genomes
BACKGROUND Gene order in eukaryotic genomes is not random. Genes showing similar expression (coexpression) patterns are often clustered along the genome. The goal of this study is to characterize coexpression clustering in mammalian genomes and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We detect clustering of coexpressed genes across multiple scales, from neighb...
متن کاملGC3-biased gene domains in mammalian genomes
MOTIVATION Synonymous codon usage bias has been shown to be correlated with many genomic features among different organisms. However, the biological significance of codon bias with respect to gene function and genome organization remains unclear. RESULTS Guanine and cytosine content at the third codon position (GC3) could be used as a good indicator of codon bias. Here, we used relative GC3 b...
متن کاملMutation rates in mammalian genomes.
Knowledge of the rate of point mutation is of fundamental importance, because mutations are a vital source of genetic novelty and a significant cause of human diseases. Currently, mutation rate is thought to vary many fold among genes within a genome and among lineages in mammals. We have conducted a computational analysis of 5,669 genes (17,208 sequences) from species representing major groups...
متن کاملDNA Sequence Explains Seemingly Disordered Methylation Levels in Partially Methylated Domains of Mammalian Genomes
For the most part metazoan genomes are highly methylated and harbor only small regions with low or absent methylation. In contrast, partially methylated domains (PMDs), recently discovered in a variety of cell lines and tissues, do not fit this paradigm as they show partial methylation for large portions (20%-40%) of the genome. While in PMDs methylation levels are reduced on average, we found ...
متن کاملStructural heterogeneity and functional diversity of topologically associating domains in mammalian genomes
Recent chromosome conformation capture (3C) derived techniques have revealed that topologically associating domain (TAD) is a pervasive element in chromatin three-dimensional (3D) organization. However, there is currently no parameter to quantitatively measure the structural characteristics of TADs, thus obscuring our understanding on the structural and functional differences among TADs. Based ...
