Weighting against homoplasy improves phylogenetic analysis of morphological data sets
The problem of character weighting in cladistic analysis is revisited. The finding that, in large molecular data sets, removal of third positions (with more homoplasy) decreases the number of well supported groups has been interpreted by some authors as indicating that weighting methods are unjustified. Two arguments against that interpretation are advanced. Characters that collectively determi...
متن کاملOn Weighting Schemes for Gene Order Analysis
Gene order analysis aims at extracting phylogenetic information from the comparison of the order and orientation of the genes on the genomes of different species. This can be achieved by computing parsimonious rearrangement scenarios, i.e. to determine a sequence of rearrangements events that transforms one given gene order into another such that the sum of weights of the included rearrangement...
متن کاملBayesian Gene Set Analysis
Gene expression microarray technologies provide the simultaneous measurements of a large number of genes. Typical analyses of such data focus on the individual genes, but recent work has demonstrated that evaluating changes in expression across predefined sets of genes often increases statistical power and produces more robust results. We introduce a new methodology for identifying gene sets th...
متن کاملEstrogen down-regulation of the Scx gene is mediated by the opposing strand-overlapping gene Bop1.
Recent genome-wide transcriptome studies suggest the presence of numerous bidirectional overlapping coding gene pairs in mammalian genomes. Various antisense RNAs are reported as non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of sense RNA. However, it is still unclear whether the expression of bidirectional overlapping coding genes are regulated by the opposite strand gene transcript acting as a ...
متن کاملGSCA: Gene Set Context Analysis
Although techniques of chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) or tiling array hybridization (ChIP-chip) have came into being for a long time, it still remains difficult to generate a quality ChIPx (i.e., ChIP-seq or ChIP-chip) data set due to the tremendous amount of effort required to develop effective antibodies and efficient protocols. Especially wit...
