Phylogeny-driven target selection for large-scale genome-sequencing (and other) projects
Despite the steadily decreasing costs of genome sequencing, prioritizing organisms for sequencing remains important in large-scale projects. Phylogeny-based selection is of interest to identify those organisms whose genomes can be expected to differ most from those that have already been sequenced. Here, we describe a method that infers a phylogenetic scoring independent of which set of organis...
متن کاملOptical mapping and its potential for large-scale sequencing projects.
Physical mapping has been rediscovered as an important component of large-scale sequencing projects. Restriction maps provide landmark sequences at defined intervals, and high-resolution restriction maps can be assembled from ensembles of single molecules by optical means. Such optical maps can be constructed from both large-insert clones and genomic DNA, and are used as a scaffold for accurate...
متن کاملAnimal phylogeny and large-scale sequencing: progress and pitfalls
Phylogenomics, the inference of phylogenetic trees using genome-scale data, is becoming the rule for resolving difficult parts of the tree of life. Its promise resides in the large amount of information available, which should eliminate stochastic error. However, systematic error, which is due to limitations of reconstruction methods, is becoming more apparent. We will illustrate, using animal ...
متن کاملLarge-scale sequencing and the new animal phylogeny.
Although comparisons of gene sequences have revolutionised our understanding of the animal phylogenetic tree, it has become clear that, to avoid errors in tree reconstruction, a large number of genes from many species must be considered: too few genes and stochastic errors predominate, too few taxa and systematic errors appear. We argue here that, to gather many sequences from many taxa, the be...
متن کاملBayesian Variable Selection Regression for Genome - Wide Association Studies , and Other Large - Scale Problems
We consider applying Bayesian Variable Selection Regression, or BVSR, to genome-wide association studies, and similar large-scale regression problems. Currently, typical genome-wide association studies measure hundreds of thousands, or millions, of genetic variants (SNPs), in thousands or tens of thousands of individuals, and attempt to identify regions harboring SNPs that affect some phenotype...
