Combining statistical alignment and phylogenetic footprinting to detect regulatory elements
MOTIVATION Traditional alignment-based phylogenetic footprinting approaches make predictions on the basis of a single assumed alignment. The predictions are therefore highly sensitive to alignment errors or regions of alignment uncertainty. Alternatively, statistical alignment methods provide a framework for performing phylogenetic analyses by examining a distribution of alignments. RESULTS W...
متن کاملDo simple screening statistical tools help to detect reporting bias?
BACKGROUND As a result of reporting bias, or frauds, false or misunderstood findings may represent the majority of published research claims. This article provides simple methods that might help to appraise the quality of the reporting of randomized, controlled trials (RCT). METHODS This evaluation roadmap proposed herein relies on four steps: evaluation of the distribution of the reported va...
متن کاملPhylogenetic factorization of compositional data
1 Marker gene sequencing of microbial communities has generated big datasets 2 of microbial relative abundances varying across environmental conditions, sam3 ple sites and treatments. These data often come with putative phylogenies, 4 providing unique opportunities to investigate how shared evolutionary history 5 a ects microbial abundance patterns. Here, we present a method to identify the 6 p...
متن کاملBase compositional bias and phylogenetic analyses: a test of the "flying DNA" hypothesis.
Phylogenetic methods can produce biased estimates of phylogeny when base composition varies along different lineages. Pettigrew (1994, Curr. Biol. 4:277-280) has suggested that base composition bias is responsible for the apparent support for the monophyly of bats (Chiroptera: megabats and microbats) from several different nuclear and mitochondrial genes. Pettigrew's "flying DNA" hypothesis mak...
متن کاملRealizability Criteria for Compositional MSC
Synthesizing a proper implementation for a scenario-based specification is often impossible, due to the distributed nature of implementations. To be able to detect problematic specifications, realizability criteria have been identified, such as non-local choice. In this work we develop a formal framework to study realizability of compositional MSC [GMP03]. We use it to derive a complete classif...
