MetaPalette: a k-mer Painting Approach for Metagenomic Taxonomic Profiling and Quantification of Novel Strain Variation
Metagenomic profiling is challenging in part because of the highly uneven sampling of the tree of life by genome sequencing projects and the limitations imposed by performing phylogenetic inference at fixed taxonomic ranks. We present the algorithm MetaPalette, which uses long k-mer sizes (k = 30, 50) to fit a k-mer "palette" of a given sample to the k-mer palette of reference organisms. By mod...
متن کاملStructure and evolution of gene regulatory networks in microbial genomes.
With the availability of genome sequences for hundreds of microbial genomes, it has become possible to address several questions from a comparative perspective to understand the structure and function of regulatory systems, at least in model organisms. Recent studies have focused on topological properties and the evolution of regulatory networks and their components. Our understanding of natura...
متن کاملComparative analysis using K-mer and K-flank patterns provides evidence for CpG island sequence evolution in mammalian genomes
CpG islands are GC-rich regions often located in the 5' end of genes and normally protected from cytosine methylation in mammals. The important role of CpG islands in gene transcription strongly suggests evolutionary conservation in the mammalian genome. However, as CpG dinucleotides are over-represented in CpG islands, comparative CpG island analysis using conventional sequence analysis techni...
متن کاملkWIP: The k-mer weighted inner product, a de novo estimator of genetic similarity
Modern genomics techniques generate overwhelming quantities of data. Extracting population genetic variation demands computationally efficient methods to determine genetic relatedness between individuals (or "samples") in an unbiased manner, preferably de novo. Rapid estimation of genetic relatedness directly from sequencing data has the potential to overcome reference genome bias, and to verif...
متن کاملEvolution of transcriptional regulatory networks in microbial genomes.
Advances in sequencing and generating high-throughput expression data have created a situation in which it is possible to integrate comparative analysis with genome-wide studies of the structure and function of regulatory systems in model organisms. Recent studies have focused on topological properties and the evolution of regulatory networks. This problem can be addressed on several levels: ev...
