Heuristic Methods for Finding Pathogenic Variants in Gene Coding Sequences
T hese are exciting times, with a plethora of new technologies that are expediting discovery of the genetic underpinnings of human disease. Comprehensive resequencing of the human genome is now feasible and affordable, allowing each person’s entire genetic makeup to be revealed. The major focus of attention in genetics studies has been the small portion (1%) of the human genome that comprises t...
متن کاملSimple Methods of Finding Short Protein Coding Sequences
Eukaryotic genomes contain many conserved regions of unknown function. Accurately assessing the protein coding potential of these regions is a key step in annotation. We develop three protein coding measures that directly assess conserved regions in multiple sequence alignments of many species: one based on phase-shifts induced by alignment gaps, another based on the 3rd position mutation asymm...
متن کاملAlgorithms for finding transposons in gene sequences
With the process of evolution, some genes will change their relative positions in gene sequence. These “jumping genes” are called transposons. Through some intuitive rules, we give a criterion to determine transposons among gene sequences of different individuals of the same species. Then we turn this problem into graph theory and give algorithms for different situations with acceptable time co...
متن کاملComparison of five methods for finding conserved sequences in multiple alignments of gene regulatory regions.
Conserved segments in DNA or protein sequences are strong candidates for functional elements and thus appropriate methods for computing them need to be developed and compared. We describe five methods and computer programs for finding highly conserved blocks within previously computed multiple alignments, primarily for DNA sequences. Two of the methods are already in common use; these are based...
متن کاملRegulation of Gene Expression: Methods for Finding Regulatory Regions in DNA Sequences
Genome sequence data for a number of different species has become available in the recent past. The focus of computational genomics has shifted from sequencing to processing and interpreting the data. Some of the most important problems now being tackled include identification of genes, predicting the structure and function of the proteins coded for by the genes, and understanding the mechanism...
