Evolution provides the unifying framework with which to understand biology. The coherent investigation of genic and genomic data often requires comparative genomics analyses based on whole-genome alignments, sets of homologous genes and other relevant datasets in order to evaluate and answer evolutionary-related questions. However, the complexity and computational requirements of producing such...
متن کاملPathogen comparative genomics in the next-generation sequencing era: genome alignments, pangenomics and metagenomics.
As soon as whole-genome sequencing entered the scene in the mid-1990s and demonstrated its use in revealing the entire genetic potential of any given microbial organism, this technique immediately revolutionized the way pathogen (and many other fields of) research was carried out. The ability to perform whole-genome comparisons further transformed the field and allowed scientists to obtain info...
متن کاملVISTA: computational tools for comparative genomics
Comparison of DNA sequences from different species is a fundamental method for identifying functional elements in genomes. Here, we describe the VISTA family of tools created to assist biologists in carrying out this task. Our first VISTA server at http://www-gsd.lbl.gov/vista/ was launched in the summer of 2000 and was designed to align long genomic sequences and visualize these alignments wit...
متن کاملImproved sensitivity and reliability of anchor based genome alignment
Whole genome alignment is a challenging problem in computational comparative genomics. It is essential for the functional annotation of genomes, the understanding of their evolution, and for phylogenomics. Many global alignment programs are heuristic variations on the anchor based strategy, which relies on the initial detection of similarities and their selection in an ordered chain. Considerin...
متن کاملPairwise Comparison Between Genomic Sequences and Optical-maps
With the development and improvement of high throughput experimental technologies, massive amount of biological data including genomic sequences and optical-maps have been collected for various species. Comparative techniques play a central role in investigating the adaptive significance of organismal traits and revealing evolutionary relations among organisms by comparing these biological data...
