Standard operating procedure for computing pangenome trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the pan-genome tree as a tool for visualizing similarities and differences between closely related microbial genomes within a species or genus. Distance between genomes is computed as a weighted relative Manhattan distance based on gene family presence/absence. The weights can be chosen with emphasis on groups of gene families conserved to various degrees inside the pan-genome. The software is available for free as an R-package.

GET_HOMOLOGUES, a versatile software package for scalable and robust microbial pangenome analysis.
GET_HOMOLOGUES is an open-source software package that builds on popular orthology-calling approaches making highly customizable and detailed pangenome analyses of microorganisms accessible to nonbioinformaticians. It can cluster homologous gene families using the bidirectional best-hit, COGtriangles, or OrthoMCL clustering algorithms. Clustering stringency can be adjusted by scanning the domai...
متن کاملTesting the infinitely many genes model for the evolution of the bacterial core genome and pangenome.
When groups of related bacterial genomes are compared, the number of core genes found in all genomes is usually much less than the mean genome size, whereas the size of the pangenome (the set of genes found on at least one of the genomes) is much larger than the mean size of one genome. We analyze 172 complete genomes of Bacilli and compare the properties of the pangenomes and core genomes of m...
متن کاملA domain sequence approach to pangenomics: Applications to Escherichia coli [v1; ref status: Indexed, http://f1000r.es/QSnDE6]
The study of microbial pangenomes relies on the computation of gene families, i.e. the clustering of coding sequences into groups of essentially similar genes. There is no standard approach to obtain such gene families. Ideally, the gene family computations should be robust against errors in the annotation of genes in various genomes. In an attempt to achieve this robustness, we propose to clus...
متن کاملReasoning About the Executability of Goal-Plan Trees
User supplied domain control knowledge in the form of hierarchically structured agent plans is at the heart of a number of approaches to reasoning about action. This knowledge encodes the “standard operating procedures” of an agent for responding to environmental changes, thereby enabling fast and effective action selection. This paper develops mechanisms for reasoning about a set of hierarchic...
متن کاملUser Mode File Servers
Recent releases of the UNIX operating system provide support for network file systems. Network file systems extend the hierarchical file system name space by allowing remote file systems to appear as sub-trees within the local file system. In this article we show how the basis of a user mode file server which supports such a network file system may also be used as a server for a variety of oth...
