New metrics for comparative genomics.
The availability of genome sequences from a variety of organisms presents an opportunity to apply this sequence information to solving the key problems of molecular biology. One of the principal roadblocks on this path is the lack of appropriate descriptors and metrics that could succinctly represent the new knowledge stemming from the genomic data. Several new metrics have recently been used i...
متن کاملHomology-Independent Metrics for Comparative Genomics
A mainstream procedure to analyze the wealth of genomic data available nowadays is the detection of homologous regions shared across genomes, followed by the extraction of biological information from the patterns of conservation and variation observed in such regions. Although of pivotal importance, comparative genomic procedures that rely on homology inference are obviously not applicable if n...
متن کاملComparative Optical Mapping: A New Approach for Microbial Comparative Genomics
The recent plethora of sequenced genomes has just ushered in a new era of genetics-based research. Although an impressive number of species have been, or are planned to be sequenced, the full value of such efforts will be fully accrued when patterns of variation can be discerned and annotated for many strains or isolates within a given species. As such, bacteria are an ideal place to start inve...
متن کاملA New System for Comparative Functional Genomics of Saccharomyces Yeasts
Whole-genome sequencing, particularly in fungi, has progressed at a tremendous rate. More difficult, however, is experimental testing of the inferences about gene function that can be drawn from comparative sequence analysis alone. We present a genome-wide functional characterization of a sequenced but experimentally understudied budding yeast, Saccharomyces bayanus var. uvarum (henceforth refe...
متن کاملNew target regions for human hypertension via comparative genomics.
Models of human disease have long been used to understand the basic pathophysiology of disease and to facilitate the discovery of new therapeutics. However, as long as models have been used there have been debates about the utility of these models and their ability to mimic clinical disease at the phenotypic level. The application of genetic studies to both humans and model systems allows for a...
