Databases and software for the comparison of prokaryotic genomes.
The explosion in the number of complete genomes over the past decade has spawned a new and exciting discipline, that of comparative genomics. To exploit the full potential of this approach requires the development of novel algorithms, databases and software which are sophisticated enough to draw meaningful comparisons between complete genome sequences and are widely accessible to the scientific...
متن کاملEvolution of prokaryotic genomes.
Molecular genetics, which has its roots mainly in the development of microbial genetics in the middle of this century, not only greatly facilitates investigations of essential cellular functions, but also offers a means to better understand evolutionary progress. Spontaneous mutagenesis, the driving force of biological evolution, depends on a multitude of mechanistically distinct processes, man...
متن کاملProphinder: a computational tool for prophage prediction in prokaryotic genomes
UNLABELLED Prophinder is a prophage prediction tool coupled with a prediction database, a web server and web service. Predicted prophages will help to fill the gaps in the current sparse phage sequence space, which should cover an estimated 100 million species. Systematic and reliable predictions will enable further studies of prophages contribution to the bacteriophage gene pool and to better ...
متن کاملPFP: A Computational Framework for Phylogenetic Footprinting in Prokaryotic Genomes
Phylogenetic footprinting is a widely used approach for the prediction of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) through identification of conserved motifs in the upstream sequences of orthologous genes in eukaryotic genomes. However, this popular strategy may not be directly applicable to prokaryotic genomes, where typically about half of the genes in a genome form multiple-gene transcript...
متن کاملEcoGene-RefSeq: EcoGene tools applied to the RefSeq prokaryotic genomes
SUMMARY EcoGene.org is a genome database and website dedicated to Escherichia coli K-12 substrain MG1655 that is revised daily using information derived from the biomedical literature and in-house analysis. EcoGene is a major source of annotation updates for the MG1655 Genbank record, one of only a few Genbank genome records that are updated by a community effort. The Reference Sequence (RefSeq...
