Forensic Applications of Whole Genome Amplification
Whole genome amplification (WGA) has been touted as a possible technique to augment fragment analysis of STRs in amplifying low-levels of DNA recovered from crime scenes or items. Only LCN DNA analysis is routinely used as an additional amplification step; but this is not without problems, such as the increased incidents of stochastic variations. A review of the literature was carried out in or...
متن کاملConstruction of a Phylogenetic Tree of Photosynthetic Prokaryotes Based on Average Similarities of Whole Genome Sequences
Phylogenetic trees have been constructed for a wide range of organisms using gene sequence information, especially through the identification of orthologous genes that have been vertically inherited. The number of available complete genome sequences is rapidly increasing, and many tools for construction of genome trees based on whole genome sequences have been proposed. However, development of ...
متن کاملCVTree: a phylogenetic tree reconstruction tool based on whole genomes
Composition Vector Tree (CVTree) implements a systematic method of inferring evolutionary relatedness of microbial organisms from the oligopeptide content of their complete proteomes (http://cvtree.cbi.pku.edu.cn). Since the first bacterial genomes were sequenced in 1995 there have been several attempts to infer prokaryote phylogeny from complete genomes. Most of them depend on sequence alignme...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Tree Construction for Y-DNA Haplogroups
Male Y-chromosome is currently used to estimate the paternal ancestry and migratory patterns of humans. Y-chromosomal Short Tandem Repeat(STR) segments provide important data for reconstructing phylogenetic trees. However, STR data is not widely used for phylogeny because there is not enough appropriate methodology. We propose a three-step method for analyzing large numbers of STR data and cons...
متن کاملGeneContent: software for whole-genome phylogenetic analysis
UNLABELLED GeneContent is a software system to infer the genome phylogeny based on an additive genome distance that can be estimated from the extended gene content data, which contains the genome-wide information (absence of a gene family, presence as single copy or presence as duplicates) across multiple species. GeneContent can also be used to explore the genome-wide evolutionary pattern of g...
