Recombination faults in gene assembly in ciliates modeled using multimatroids
نویسنده
چکیده
We formally model the process of gene assembly in ciliates on the level of individual genes using the notion of multimatroids introduced by Bouchet. Gene assembly involves heavy splicing and recombination, and it turns out that multimatroids form a suitable abstract model that captures essential features of this process. We use this abstract model to study the effect of faulty recombinations during the gene assembly process.

Strategies of Loop Recombination in Ciliates
Gene assembly in ciliates is an extremely involved DNA transformation process, which transforms a nucleus, the micronucleus, to another functionally different nucleus, the macronucleus. In this paper we characterize which loop recombination operations (one of the three types of molecular operations that accomplish gene assembly) can possibly be applied in the transformation of a given gene from...
متن کاملReducibility of gene patterns in ciliates using the breakpoint graph
Gene assembly in ciliates is one of the most involved DNA processings going on in any organism. This process transforms one nucleus (the micronucleus) into another functionally different nucleus (the macronucleus). We continue the development of the theoretical models of gene assembly, and in particular we demonstrate the use of the concept of the breakpoint graph, known from another branch of ...

7 We study parallel complexity of signed graphs motivated by the highly 8 complex genetic recombination processes in ciliates. The molecular gene 9 assembly operations have been modeled by operations of signed graphs, 10 i.e., graphs where the edges have a sign + or −. In the optimization prob11 lem for signed graphs one wishes to find the parallel complexity by which 12 the graph can be reduce...

Background: During the first meiotic prophase, alignment and synapsis of the homologous chromosomes are mediated by the synaptonemal complex. Incorrect assembly of the synaptonemal complex leads to impaired recombination and cell death, which in humans, causes infertility in males. Testis-expressed gene 12 (TEX12) is a germ cell-specific gene that is located on the chromosome 11 (11q22) in huma...
متن کاملPatterns of simple gene assembly in ciliates
The intramolecular model for gene assembly in ciliates considers three operations, ld, hi, and dlad that can assemble any gene pattern through folding and recombination: the molecule is folded so that two occurrences of a pointer (short nucleotide sequence) get aligned and then the sequence is rearranged through recombination of pointers. In general, the sequence rearranged by one operation can...
