Phylogenetic exploration of bacterial genomic rearrangements
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED We present a graphical tool dedicated to the exploration of bacterial genome rearrangements. The principle of this exploration relies on the reconstruction of ancestral genomes at each internal node of a gene-order-based phylogenetic tree. This tool allows the selection of internal nodes to visualize the rearrangements between the inferred chromosome of this node and its direct descendant on the tree. AVAILABILITY PEGR is available at the Genopole Toulouse Bioinformatics platform.

Mitochondrial gene rearrangements: new paradigm in the evolutionary biology and systematics
Mitochondrial (mt) genomic study may reveal significant insight into the molecular evolution and several other aspects of genome evolution such as gene rearrangements evolution, gene regulation, and replication mechanisms.

متن کاملModels and Algorithms for Whole-Genome Evolution and their Use in Phylogenetic Inference
The rapid accumulation of sequenced genomes offers the chance to resolve longstanding questions about the evolutionary histories, or phylogenies, of groups of organisms. The relatively rare occurrence of large-scale evolutionary events in a whole genome, events such as genome rearrangements, duplications and losses, enables us to extract a strong and robust phylogenetic signal from whole-genome...
متن کاملGASTS: Parsimony Scoring under Rearrangements
The accumulation of whole-genome data has renewed interest in the study of genomic rearrangements. Comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and cancer research all require models and algorithms to elucidate the mechanisms, history, and consequences of these rearrangements. However, rearrangements lead to NP-hard problems, so that current approaches, such as the MGR tool, are limited to small...
متن کاملExploration of the genomic diversity and core genome of the Bifidobacterium adolescentis phylogenetic group by means of a polyphasic approach.
In the current work, we describe genome diversity and core genome sequences among representatives of three bifidobacterial species, i.e., Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Bifidobacterium catenulatum, and Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum, by employing a polyphasic approach involving analysis of 16S rRNA gene and 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ...
متن کاملEnrichment of segmental duplications in regions of breaks of synteny between the human and mouse genomes suggest their involvement in evolutionary rearrangements.
The sequence of the mouse genome allows one to compare the conservation of synteny between the human and mouse genome and exploration of regions that might have been involved in major rearrangements during the evolution of these two species (evolutionary genome rearrangements). Recent segmental duplications (or duplicons) are paralogous DNA sequences with high sequence identity that account for...
