Structure-Revealing Representation of Genome: Oligostickiness Map
نویسندگان
چکیده
A physicochemical property, stickiness, had been introduced by Nishigaki and Sakuma [1] to characterize the behavior of a molecule in a particular environment. As a convenient derivative of stickiness, oligostickiness was devised, which is closely related to the affinity of an oligonucleotide to a relevant DNA. In this paper we report that oligostickiness-maps, which can be generated by drawing a bar of the height proportional to the frequency of oligostickiness per window at the corresponding site along the (genome) circle, seem to show the relationship between the structure and the function of a genome DNA.

Homogenization of Chromosomes Revealed by Oligonucleotide-Stickiness
Genomic DNA contains sequences that are relics of evolution together with functional protein sequences and regulatory operands. The mutual relationship of chromosomes that constitute the genome is of interest from the viewpoint of evolution as well as from that of systems biology. Chromosome origin, the frequency of chromosomal alteration, and the nature of these alterations can be addressed by...

The knowledge on the whole genome sequence of various species enabled us to discuss in detail the events occurred during the evolution of organisms. It's so powerful that even a genomic difference caused in the course of only several generations can be detected and interpreted based on whole genome sequences. This is the obvious benefit of a flood of information on genomes. On the other hand, g...
متن کاملDetecting Overlapping Communities in Social Networks using Deep Learning
In network analysis, a community is typically considered of as a group of nodes with a great density of edges among themselves and a low density of edges relative to other network parts. Detecting a community structure is important in any network analysis task, especially for revealing patterns between specified nodes. There is a variety of approaches presented in the literature for overlapping...

MOTIVATION The recent metagenome analysis has been producing a large number of host-unassigned viruses. Although assigning viruses to their hosts is basically important not only for virology but also for prevention of epidemic, it has been a laborious and difficult task to date. The only effective method for this purpose has been to find them in a same microscopic view. Now, we tried a computat...

Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...
