A graphical method for detecting recombination in phylogenetic data sets.
Current phylogenetic tree reconstruction methods assume that there is a single underlying tree topology for all sites along the sequence. The presence of mosaic sequences due to recombination violates this assumption and will cause phylogenetic methods to give misleading results due to the imposition of a single tree topology on all sites. The detection of mosaic sequences caused by recombinati...
متن کاملUsing a Genetic Algorithm for Detecting Repetitions in Biological Sequences
One of the most important goals in computational molecular biology is allocating repeated patterns in nucleic or protein sequences, and identifying structural or functional motifs that are common to a set of such sequences. In this paper we describe a new approach to detect the repetitions of fixed length in Biological Sequences using a Genetic Algorithm. The method involves evolving a populati...
متن کاملAn Effective Method for Detecting Y-chromosome Specific Sequences of Circulating Fetal DNA in Maternal Plasma During the First-trimester
Background and Aims: New advances in the use of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma of pregnant women has provided the possibility of applying cffDNA in prenatal diagnosis as a non-invasive method. One of the applications of prenatal diagnosis is fetal gender determination. Early prenatal determination of fetal sex is required for pregnant women at risk of X-linked and some endocrin...
متن کاملThe PNarec method for detection of ancient recombinations through phylogenetic network analysis.
Recombinations are known to disrupt bifurcating tree structure of gene genealogies. Although recently occurred recombinations are easily detectable by using conventional methods, recombinations may have occurred at any time. We devised a new method for detecting ancient recombinations through phylogenetic network analysis, and detected five ancient recombinations in gibbon ABO blood group genes...
متن کاملDetecting Phylogenetic Signals in Eukaryotic Whole Genome Sequences
Whole genome sequences are a rich source of molecular data, with a potential for the discovery of novel evolutionary information. Yet, many parts of these sequences are not known to be under evolutionary pressure and, thus, are not conserved. Furthermore, a good model for whole genome evolution does not exist. Consequently, it is not a priori clear if a meaningful phylogenetic signal exists and...
