THOR: targeted high-throughput ortholog reconstructor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low-coverage genomes (LCGs) are becoming an increasingly important source of data for phylogenetic studies. However, assembly of these genomes is time consuming, difficult and lags behind sequence generation. THOR is a fast, stringent application for targeted reconstruction of sequence orthologs in unassembled LCGs. Using a 4x coverage set of mouse whole-genome sequence reads, THOR could partially or completely reconstruct 416/1000 human promoter ortholog regions in approximately 7.3 min/promoter. THOR's reconstruction rate improves markedly with both higher-coverage, and less divergent target species.

POPE—a tool to aid high-throughput phylogenetic analysis
UNLABELLED POPE (Phylogeny, Ortholog and Paralog Extractor) provides an integrated platform for automatic ortholog identification. Intermediate steps can be visualized, modified and analyzed in order to assess and improve the underlying quality of orthology and paralogy assignments. AVAILABILITY POPE is available for download from the website: http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/~tota/pope.
متن کاملMSOAR: A High-Throughput Ortholog Assignment System Based on Genome Rearrangement
The assignment of orthologous genes between a pair of genomes is a fundamental and challenging problem in comparative genomics, since many computational methods for solving various biological problems critically rely on bona fide orthologs as input. While it is usually done using sequence similarity search, we recently proposed a new combinatorial approach that combines sequence similarity and ...
متن کاملOrtholog identification in the presence of domain architecture rearrangement
Ortholog identification is used in gene functional annotation, species phylogeny estimation, phylogenetic profile construction and many other analyses. Bioinformatics methods for ortholog identification are commonly based on pairwise protein sequence comparisons between whole genomes. Phylogenetic methods of ortholog identification have also been developed; these methods can be applied to prote...
متن کاملEnhancing VANETs' Routing Operation with the Route Lifetime Policy
Routing is continuous challenging issue in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) given the intrinsic characteristics of these networks, especially limited resources and high mobility. Indeed, for any routing protocol to achieve acceptable network throughput performance it should adapt its operation to VANET high frequency topology change dynamics. In this paper an enhancement of such routing proto...

The identification of orthologous genes shared by multiple genomes is critical for both functional and evolutionary studies in comparative genomics. While it is usually done by sequence similarity search and reconciled tree construction in practice, recently a new combinatorial approach and a high-throughput system MSOAR for ortholog identification between closely related genomes based on genom...
