Phylogenetic Relationships among Corals
Reef-building corals are the framework builders for coral reefs and a key player in the coral reef ecosystem. They are the animals that form the foundation of Virgin Islands coral reefs which provide protection from the open ocean, are an economic resource in terms of tourism and fisheries, are the source of chemical compounds of biomedical importance, and provide great natural beauty. Due to b...
متن کاملUsing phylogenetic profiles to predict functional relationships.
Phylogenetic profiling involves the comparison of phylogenetic data across gene families. It is possible to construct phylogenetic trees, or related data structures, for specific gene families using a wide variety of tools and approaches. Phylogenetic profiling involves the comparison of this data to determine which families have correlated or coupled evolution. The underlying assumption is tha...
متن کاملPhylogenetic relationships of cyphelloid homobasidiomycetes.
The homobasidiomycetes includes the mushroom-forming fungi. Members of the homobasidiomycetes produce the largest, most complex fruiting bodies in the fungi, such as gilled mushrooms ("agarics"), boletes, polypores, and puffballs. The homobasidiomycetes also includes species that produce minute, cup- or tube-shaped "cyphelloid" fruiting bodies, that rarely exceed 1-2 mm diameter. The goal of th...
متن کاملPhylogenetic molecular function annotation.
It is now easier to discover thousands of protein sequences in a new microbial genome than it is to biochemically characterize the specific activity of a single protein of unknown function. The molecular functions of protein sequences have typically been predicted using homology-based computational methods, which rely on the principle that homologous proteins share a similar function. However, ...
متن کاملEpidemiology and Phylogenetic Relationships of Dengue Viruses
The mosquito-borne flaviviruses revealed two distinct epidemiological groups. The neurotropic viruses correlated with the Culex vectors, and the viruses associated with haemorrhagic diseases correlated with the Aedes vectors. About the last ones, it is hypothesized that the dengue viruses have evolved from sylvatic strains that are transmitted among non-human primates in West Africa and Malaysi...
