Causes of insertion sequences abundance in prokaryotic genomes.
Insertion sequences (ISs) are the smallest and most frequent transposable elements in prokaryotes where they play an important evolutionary role by promoting gene inactivation and genome plasticity. Their genomic abundance varies by several orders of magnitude for reasons largely unknown and widely speculated. The current availability of hundreds of genomes renders testable many of these hypoth...
متن کاملFinding Conserved Amino Acid Sequences among Prokaryotic Proteomes
Since the first complete genome sequence of Haemophilus influenzae determined in 1995, the genomes of more than 80 organisms have been completely sequenced. Complete genome sequence also reveals complete set of protein sequences (proteome) of the organism. At the time when numbers of complete proteomes from a wide variety of species become available, one of the most interesting questions is: wh...
متن کاملMetaGene: prokaryotic gene finding from environmental genome shotgun sequences
Exhaustive gene identification is a fundamental goal in all metagenomics projects. However, most metagenomic sequences are unassembled anonymous fragments, and conventional gene-finding methods cannot be applied. We have developed a prokaryotic gene-finding program, MetaGene, which utilizes di-codon frequencies estimated by the GC content of a given sequence with other various measures. MetaGen...
متن کاملFinding Sequence Features in Tissue-specific Sequences
The discovery of motifs underlying gene expression is a challenging one. Some of these motifs are known transcription factors, but sequence inspection often provides valuable clues, even discovery of novel motifs with uncharacterized function in gene expression. Coupled with the complexity underlying tissuespecific gene expression, there are several motifs that are putatively responsible for ex...
متن کاملFinding genes in prokaryotic genomes
Genome sequencing efforts will soon generate hundreds of millions of bases of human genomic DNA containing thousands of novel genes. In the past year, the accuracy of computational gene-finding methods has improved significantly, to the point where a reasonable approximation of the gene structures within an extended genomic region can often be predicted in advance of more detailed experimental ...
