OWEN: aligning long collinear regions of genomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
OWEN is an interactive tool for aligning two long DNA sequences that represents similarity between them by a chain of collinear local similarities. OWEN employs several methods for constructing and editing local similarities and for resolving conflicts between them. Alignments of sequences of lengths over 10(6) can often be produced in minutes. OWEN requires memory below 20 L, where L is the sum of lengths of the compared sequences.

A hierarchical approach to aligning collinear regions of genomes
MOTIVATION As a first approximation, similarity between two long orthologous regions of genomes can be represented by a chain of local similarities. Within such a chain, pairs of successive similarities are collinear (non-conflicting), i.e. segments involved in the nth similarity precede in both sequences segments involved in the (n+1)th similarity. However, when all similarities between two lo...
متن کاملComparison of a Brassica oleracea genetic map with the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana.
Brassica oleracea is closely related to the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite this relationship, it has been difficult to both identify the most closely related segments between the genomes and determine the degree of genome replication within B. oleracea relative to A. thaliana. These difficulties have arisen in part because both species have replicated genomes, and the criteria used ...
متن کاملPhylogeny Inference of Closely Related Bacterial Genomes: Combining the Features of Both Overlapping Genes and Collinear Genomic Regions
Overlapping genes (OGs) represent one type of widespread genomic feature in bacterial genomes and have been used as rare genomic markers in phylogeny inference of closely related bacterial species. However, the inference may experience a decrease in performance for phylogenomic analysis of too closely or too distantly related genomes. Another drawback of OGs as phylogenetic markers is that they...
متن کاملHuman-mouse alignments with BLASTZ.
The Mouse Genome Analysis Consortium aligned the human and mouse genome sequences for a variety of purposes, using alignment programs that suited the various needs. For investigating issues regarding genome evolution, a particularly sensitive method was needed to permit alignment of a large proportion of the neutrally evolving regions. We selected a program called BLASTZ, an independent impleme...
متن کاملDynamic gene copy number variation in collinear regions of grass genomes.
A salient feature of genomes of higher organisms is the birth and death of gene copies. An example is the alpha prolamin genes, which encode seed storage proteins in grasses (Poaceae) and represent a medium-size gene family. To better understand the mechanism, extent, and pace of gene amplification, we compared prolamin gene copies in the genomes of two different tribes in the Panicoideae, the ...
