Evaluating synteny for improved comparative studies
MOTIVATION Comparative genomics aims to understand the structure and function of genomes by translating knowledge gained about some genomes to the object of study. Early approaches used pairwise comparisons, but today researchers are attempting to leverage the larger potential of multi-way comparisons. Comparative genomics relies on the structuring of genomes into syntenic blocks: blocks of seq...
متن کاملr2cat: synteny plots and comparative assembly
SUMMARY Recent parallel pyrosequencing methods and the increasing number of finished genomes encourage the sequencing and investigation of closely related strains. Although the sequencing itself becomes easier and cheaper with each machine generation, the finishing of the genomes remains difficult. Instead of the desired whole genomic sequence, a set of contigs is the result of the assembly. In...
متن کاملSynBrowse: a synteny browser for comparative sequence analysis
MOTIVATION The recent efforts of various sequence projects to sequence deeply into various phylogenies provide great resources for comparative sequence analysis. A generic and portable tool is essential for scientists to visualize and analyze sequence comparisons. RESULTS We have developed SynBrowse, a synteny browser for visualizing and analyzing genome alignments both within and between spe...
متن کاملAlgorithms for the Extraction of Synteny Blocks from Comparative Maps
In comparing genomic maps, we try to distinguish mapping errors and incorrectly resolved paralogies from genuine rearrangements of the genomes. This can be formulated as a Maximum Weight Independent Set (MWIS) search, where vertices are potential strips of markers syntenic on both genomes, and edges join conflicting strips, in order to extract the subset of compatible strips that accounts for t...
متن کاملSimulation Studies for Evaluating
The attribute hierarchy method (AHM) (Leighton, Gierl, & Hunka, 2004), which is based on the assumption that test items can be described by a set of hierarchically ordered attributes, is designed to estimate examinees’ level of competency as well as their profiles for mastering a set of attributes. The AHM, by incorporating the assumption of attribute dependency, brings an important cognitive p...
