Improving the performance of Transposable Elements detection tools
Transposable Elements (TE) are sequences of DNA that move and transpose within a genome. TEs, as mutation agents, are quite important for their role in both genome alteration diseases and on species evolution. Several tools have been developed to discover and annotate TEs but no single tool achieves good results on all different types of TEs. In this paper we evaluate the performance of several...
متن کاملTransposable elements as tools for genomics and genetics in Drosophila.
The P-element has been the workhorse of Drosophila genetics since it was developed as a tool for transgenesis in 1982; the subsequent development of a variety of systems based on the transposon have provided a range of powerful and flexible tools for genetics and genomics applications. P-element insertions are frequently used as starting-points for generating chromosomal deletions to remove fla...
متن کاملDifferential detection of transposable elements between Saccharum species
Cultivars of sugarcane (Saccharum) are hybrids between species S. officinarum (x = 10, 2n = 8x = 80) and S. spontaneum (x = 8, 2n = 5 - 16x = 40 - 128). These accessions have 100 to 130 chromosomes, 80-85% of which are derived from S. officinarum, 10-15% from S. spontaneum, and 5-10% are possible recombinants between the two genomes. The aim of this study was to analyze the repetition of DNA se...
متن کاملImproving the Scalability of Performance Evaluation Tools
Performance evaluation tools play an important role in helping understand application performance, diagnose performance problems and guide tuning decisions on modern HPC systems. Tools to observe parallel performance must evolve to keep pace with the ever-increasing complexity of these systems. In this paper, we describe our experience in building novel tools and techniques in the TAU Performan...
متن کاملTransposable genetic elements.
N atural selection, as Darwin rec ognized more than a centu ry ago, favors individuals and populations that acquire traits con ducive to survival and reproduction. The generation of biological variation, which gives rise to new and potentially advantageous combinations of genetic traits, is therefore a central requirement for the successful evolution of species in diverse and changing enviro...
