Comparative and Computational Methods for Microbial Genomics
Title of Dissertation: COMPARATIVE AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS FOR MICROBIAL GENOMICS Derrick Edward Wood, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed by: Professor Steven L. Salzberg Department of Computer Science Through the study of genomic sequences, researchers are able to learn much about the workings of life. As sequencing technology has improved over the past decade, the number of genomes that ha...
متن کاملComparative Optical Mapping: A New Approach for Microbial Comparative Genomics
The recent plethora of sequenced genomes has just ushered in a new era of genetics-based research. Although an impressive number of species have been, or are planned to be sequenced, the full value of such efforts will be fully accrued when patterns of variation can be discerned and annotated for many strains or isolates within a given species. As such, bacteria are an ideal place to start inve...
متن کاملComparative Genomics of Microbial Signal Transduction
Transmembrane chemoreceptors in Escherichia coli utilize ligand-binding domains for detecting various external signals. The structure of this domain in the E. coli aspartate receptor, Tar, is known and its signal transduction mechanism is under investigation. Current domain models for this important sensory module are inaccurate and therefore cannot reveal the distribution of this domain within...
متن کاملComparative genomics and understanding of microbial biology.
The sequences of close to 30 microbial genomes have been completed during the past 5 years, and the sequences of more than 100 genomes should be completed in the next 2 to 4 years. Soon, completed microbial genome sequences will represent a collection of >200,000 predicted coding sequences. While analysis of a single genome provides tremendous biological insights on any given organism, comparat...
متن کاملComparative genomics of microbial pathogens and symbionts
We are interested in quantifying the contribution of gene acquisition, loss, expansion and rearrangements to the evolution of microbial genomes. Here, we discuss factors influencing microbial genome divergence based on pair-wise genome comparisons of closely related strains and species with different lifestyles. A particular focus is on intracellular pathogens and symbionts of the genera Ricket...
