چکیده

Genomic data provide invaluable, yet unreliable information about protein function. However, if the overlap in information among various genomic datasets is taken into account, one observes an increase in the reliability of the protein-function predictions that can be made. Recently published approaches achieved this either by comparing the same type of data from multiple species (horizontal comparative genomics) or by using subtle, Bayesian methods to compare different types of genomic data from a single species (vertical comparative genomics). In this article, we discuss these methods, illustrating horizontal comparative genomics by comparing yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Y2H data from Drosophila melanogaster, and illustrating vertical comparative genomics by comparing RNA expression data with proteomic data from Plasmodium falciparum.

A Statistical Framework for Spatial Comparative Genomics

Comparison of the spatial organization of related genomes reveals a wealth of information about how complex biological systems evolve and function. A fundamental task in spatial comparative genomics is identification of homologous genomic regions, regions that have descended from a common region in an ancestral genome. While closely related regions are characterized by conserved gene content an...

SAND, a New Protein Family: From Nucleic Acid to Protein Structure and Function Prediction

As a result of genome, EST and cDNA sequencing projects, there are huge numbers of predicted and/or partially characterised protein sequences compared with a relatively small number of proteins with experimentally determined function and structure. Thus, there is a considerable attention focused on the accurate prediction of gene function and structure from sequence by using bioinformatics. In ...

Comparative Genomics and Disorder Prediction Identify Biologically Relevant SH3 Protein Interactions

Protein interaction networks are an important part of the post-genomic effort to integrate a part-list view of the cell into system-level understanding. Using a set of 11 yeast genomes we show that combining comparative genomics and secondary structure information greatly increases consensus-based prediction of SH3 targets. Benchmarking of our method against positive and negative standards gave...

Journal of Structural and Functional Genomics (jsfg)

The ultimate goal of functional genomics is to define the function of all the genes in the genome of an organism. A large body of information of the biological roles of genes has been accumulated and aggregated in the past decades of research, both from traditional experiments detailing the role of individual genes and proteins, and from newer experimental strategies that aim to characterize ge...

Genome Sequence Comparisons: Hurdles in the Fast Lane to Functional Genomics

An important computational technique for extracting the wealth of information hidden in human genomic sequence data is to compare the sequence with that from the corresponding region of the mouse genome, looking for segments that are conserved over evolutionary time. Moreover, the approach generalises to comparison of sequences from any two related species. The underlying rationale (which is ab...
