Primate comparative genomics: lemur biology and evolution.
Comparative genome sequencing projects are providing insight into aspects of genome biology that raise new questions and challenge existing paradigms. Placement in the phylogenetic tree can often be a major determinant of which organism to choose for study. Lemurs hold a key position at the base of the primate evolutionary tree and will be highly informative for the genomics community by offeri...
متن کاملOrigin of primate orphan genes: a comparative genomics approach.
Genomes contain a large number of genes that do not have recognizable homologues in other species and that are likely to be involved in important species-specific adaptive processes. The origin of many such "orphan" genes remains unknown. Here we present the first systematic study of the characteristics and mechanisms of formation of primate-specific orphan genes. We determine that codon usage ...
متن کاملVIMSS Computational Microbiology Core Research on Comparative and Functional Genomics
Background. The VIMSS Computational Core group is tasked with data management, statistical analysis, and comparative and evolutionary genomics for the larger VIMSS effort. In the early years of this project, we focused on genome sequence analysis including development of an operon prediction algorithm which has been validated across a number of phylogenetically diverse species. Recently, the Co...
متن کاملComparative genomics of human stem cell factor (SCF)
Stem cell factor (SCF) is a critical protein with key roles in the cell such as hematopoiesis, gametogenesis and melanogenesis. In the present study a comparative analysis on nucleotide sequences of SCF was performed in Humanoids using bioinformatics tools including NCBI-BLAST, MEGA6, and JBrowse. Our analysis of nucleotide sequences to find closely evolved organisms with high similarity by NCB...
متن کاملComparative Genomics
The comparative approach in biology is probably as old as this science itself. Systematic comparative analysis of organisms can be traced at least to the eighteenth century naturalist Carl Linnaeus, who developed the hierarchical classification of plant and animal species on the basis of detailed observations of comparative morphology. The first half of the nineteenth century was marked by outs...
