A program for calculating and displaying compatibility matrices as an aid in determining reticulate evolution in molecular sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reticulate evolution in molecular sequences is caused by recombination or gene conversion, and may interfere with the reconstruction of evolutionary history. This paper presents a program which calculates compatibility matrices for detecting reticulate evolution. In addition to visual inspection of matrices, they can be analysed statistically for clustering. The method is demonstrated using human and chimpanzee gamma-globin sequences.

Reticulate evolution on a global scale: a nuclear phylogeny for New World Dryopteris (Dryopteridaceae).
Reticulate, or non-bifurcating, evolution is now recognized as an important phenomenon shaping the histories of many organisms. It appears to be particularly common in plants, especially in ferns, which have relatively few barriers to intra- and interspecific hybridization. Reticulate evolutionary patterns have been recognized in many fern groups, though very few have been studied rigorously us...
متن کاملP87: The Role of the Long Non-Coding RNA Sequences (LncRNAs) in Neurological Disorders
Precise interpretation of the transcriptome sequences in the several species showed that the major part of genome has been transcribed; however, just a few amounts of the transcription sequences have open-reading frames which are conversed during the evolution. So, it is unlikely that many of the transcribed sequences code the proteins. Among the all human non-coding transcripts, at least 10000...
متن کاملA mathematically simple method based on denition for computing eigenvalues, generalized eigenvalues and quadratic eigenvalues of matrices
In this paper, a fundamentally new method, based on the denition, is introduced for numerical computation of eigenvalues, generalized eigenvalues and quadratic eigenvalues of matrices. Some examples are provided to show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method. It is shown that the proposed method gives other sequences than that of existing methods but they still are convergent to th...
متن کاملThe partition matrix: exploring variable phylogenetic signals along nucleotide sequence alignments.
The partition matrix is a graphical tool for comparative analysis of nucleotide sequences following alignment. It is particularly useful for investigating the divergent phylogenies of sequence regions undergoing reticulate evolution. A partition matrix is generated by determining the consistency of the parsimoniously informative sites in a set of aligned sequences with the binary partitions inf...
متن کاملWell Placement Optimization Using Differential Evolution Algorithm
Determining the optimal location of wells with the aid of an automated search algorithm is a significant and difficult step in the reservoir development process. It is a computationally intensive task due to the large number of simulation runs required. Therefore,the key issue to such automatic optimization is development of algorithms that can find acceptable solutions with a minimum numbe...
