Comparative and Evolutionary Genomics
Motivation: Orthopoxviruses are a large group of closely related viruses displaying a high homology of their genomic nucleotide sequences. These viruses differ also in the severities of the diseases they cause and have different host ranges. Evolutionary relationships of various orthopoxvirus species are yet vague (Marennikova, Shchelkunov, 1998). Results: Analysis of the structures of importan...
متن کاملComparative and Evolutionary Genomics
Motivation: Genomes contain the information for constructing organisms. In some sense, this information is put in by selection, and it is degraded by mutation and genetic drift. It is natural to pose some basic questions of principle. What is the maximum amount of information that can be maintained at mutation-selection equilibrium? Can organisms in principle become arbitrarily complex, or, for...
متن کاملComparative and Evolutionary Genomics
Motivation: An algorithm for comparative analysis of multiple trees reconstructed for representative protein families are discussed. This algorithm is based on the hypotheses of gene loss and horizontal gene transfers and uses stochastic methods and optimization. Some practical results are discussed. We describe a species tree comprising 40 prokaryotic organisms constructed by our algorithm on ...
متن کاملHarnessing genomics for evolutionary insights.
Next-generation DNA sequencing technologies can generate unprecedented amounts of genomic data, even for non-model organisms. Here we describe how these new technologies have facilitated recent key advances in ecology and evolutionary biology, and highlight several outstanding ecological and evolutionary questions that are distinctly suited to the innovations they provide. Importantly, using th...
متن کاملGene Turnover Contributes to the Evolutionary Adaptation of Acidithiobacillus caldus: Insights from Comparative Genomics
Acidithiobacillus caldus is an extremely acidophilic sulfur-oxidizer with specialized characteristics, such as tolerance to low pH and heavy metal resistance. To gain novel insights into its genetic complexity, we chosen six A. caldus strains for comparative survey. All strains analyzed in this study differ in geographic origins as well as in ecological preferences. Based on phylogenomic analys...
