Comparative Genomics II: From Genomes to Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
This is the second lecture in a series of two lectures on the work being done in Prof. Kellis’s lab on comparative genomics. Comparing genomes of related species at different evolutionary distances can teach us both about the genetic code and about evolution. In this lecture we discussed two examples of what we can learn about evolution using comparative genomics. The topics of this lecture are discussed in greater detail in the papers [1] and [2]. A brief summary is given in these notes with references to figures in lecture slides.

Comparative genomics combined with phylogenetic reconstructions are powerful approaches to study the evolution of genes and genomes. However, the current rapid expansion of the volume of genomic information makes it increasingly difficult to interrogate, integrate and synthesize comparative genome data while taking into account the maximum breadth of information available.

متن کاملComparative genomics - A perspective
The rapidly emerging field of comparative genomics has yielded dramatic results. Comparative genome analysis has become feasible with the availability of a number of completely sequenced genomes. Comparison of complete genomes between organisms allow for global views on genome evolution and the availability of many completely sequenced genomes increases the predictive power in deciphering the h...
متن کاملProfessor Jotun Hein " Comparative Virus Annotation "
Comparative Genomics has exploded in recent years and put the techniques of molecular evolution at centre stages in harvesting structural information from sequence data. Originally, sequences/genomes were obtained from a single species at a time, but as more genomes have been determined, it has become apparent that the true benefit of this enterprise lies in comparison between genomes both with...
متن کاملComparative genomics of human stem cell factor (SCF)
Stem cell factor (SCF) is a critical protein with key roles in the cell such as hematopoiesis, gametogenesis and melanogenesis. In the present study a comparative analysis on nucleotide sequences of SCF was performed in Humanoids using bioinformatics tools including NCBI-BLAST, MEGA6, and JBrowse. Our analysis of nucleotide sequences to find closely evolved organisms with high similarity by NCB...
