Current Approaches to Whole Genome Phylogenetic Analysis
It has long been known that evolutionary trees (phylogenies) can be estimated by comparing the DNA or protein sequences of homologous genes across different organisms. More recently, attempts have been made to estimate phylogenies by comparing entire genomes. These attempts have focused largely on comparisons of gene content and gene order. Many different methods have been proposed for making t...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Approaches to Whole Genome Phylogenies
We describe a novel method for efficient reconstruction of phylogenetic trees, based on sequences of whole genomes or proteomes, whose lengths may greatly vary. The core of our method is a new measure of pairwise distances between sequences. This measure is based on computing the average lengths of maximum common substrings. It is intrinsically related to information theoretic tools (Kullback-L...
متن کاملBreeding and Genetics: Whole Genome Selection
The purpose of this study was to use the genomic relationship matrix (G) as an indicator of genotyping or other analysis problems in a single-step genomic evaluation procedure. Data was obtained from Cobb-Vantress and consisted of body weights for 183,784 broiler chickens over 3 generations with pedigrees on 186,222 animals. Of these animals 3,284 were genotyped for 57,636 SNP. Loci with no var...
متن کاملBayesian approaches in evolutionary quantitative genetics.
The study of evolutionary quantitative genetics has been advanced by the use of methods developed in animal and plant breeding. These methods have proved to be very useful, but they have some shortcomings when used in the study of wild populations and evolutionary questions. Problems arise from the small size of data sets typical of evolutionary studies, and the additional complexity of the que...
متن کاملApproaches to DNA/RNA Extraction and whole genome amplification.
Analysis of DNA and/or RNA is an important component of most epidemiologic studies. The methods used for their preparation vary depending on the number of samples in the study as well as the amount of tissue or cells available, the specific downstream assay, and the resources available. They range from classic phenol/chloroform extractions to robotic methods suitable for large-scale studies. Se...
