Ontogenetic Sequence Analysis: using parsimony to characterize developmental sequences and sequence polymorphism.
Ontogenetic sequences are a pervasive aspect of development and are used extensively by biologists for intra- and interspecific comparisons. A tacit assumption behind most such analyses is that sequence is largely invariant within a species. However, recent embryological and experimental work emphasizes that ontogenetic sequences can be variable and that sequence polymorphism may be far more pr...
متن کاملDNA sequence polymorphism analysis using DnaSP.
The analysis of DNA sequence polymorphisms and SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) can provide insights into the evolutionary forces acting on populations and species. Available population-genetic methods, and particularly those based on the coalescent theory, have become the primary framework to analyze such DNA polymorphism data. Here, I explain some essential analytical methods for interp...
متن کاملGenomic Sequence Analysis Using Gap Sequences and Pattern Filtering
A new pattern filtering technique is developed to analyze the genomic sequence in this research based on gap sequences, in which the distance of the same symbol is recorded consecutively as a sequence of integer numbers. A joint decision is made upon a family of gap sequences generated using selected patterns to perform genomic sequence alignment and similarity check. The effects of basic opera...
متن کاملAncestral Sequence Reconstruction with Maximum Parsimony.
One of the main aims in phylogenetics is the estimation of ancestral sequences based on present-day data like, for instance, DNA alignments. One way to estimate the data of the last common ancestor of a given set of species is to first reconstruct a phylogenetic tree with some tree inference method and then to use some method of ancestral state inference based on that tree. One of the best-know...
متن کاملUsing multiple sequence correlation analysis to characterize functionally important protein regions.
Protein co-evolution under structural and functional constraints necessitates the preservation of important interactions. Identifying functionally important regions poses many obstacles in protein engineering efforts. In this paper, we present a bioinformatics-inspired approach (residue correlation analysis, RCA) for predicting functionally important domains from protein family sequence data. R...
