چکیده

MOTIVATION The Profile Neighbor Joining (PNJ) algorithm as implemented in the software ProfDist is computationally efficient in reconstructing very large trees. Besides the huge amount of sequence data the structure is important in RNA alignment analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction. RESULTS For this ProfDistS provides a phylogenetic workflow that uses individual RNA secondary structures in reconstructing phylogenies based on sequence-structure alignments-using PNJ with manual or iterative and automatic profile definition. Moreover, ProfDistS can deal also with protein sequences.

Phylogeny Based on Whole Genome as inferred from Complete Information Set Analysis.

Previous molecular phylogeny algorithms mainly rely onmulti-sequence alignments of cautiously selected characteristic sequences,thus not directly appropriate for whole genome phylogeny where eventssuch as rearrangements make full-length alignments impossible. Weintroduce here the concept of Complete Information Set (CIS) and itsmeasurement implementation as evolution distance without reference ...

An information-based sequence distance and its application to whole mitochondrial genome phylogeny

MOTIVATION Traditional sequence distances require an alignment and therefore are not directly applicable to the problem of whole genome phylogeny where events such as rearrangements make full length alignments impossible. We present a sequence distance that works on unaligned sequences using the information theoretical concept of Kolmogorov complexity and a program to estimate this distance. ...

A hierarchical model for incomplete alignments in phylogenetic inference

MOTIVATION Full-length DNA and protein sequences that span the entire length of a gene are ideally used for multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) and the subsequent inference of their relationships. Frequently, however, MSAs contain a substantial amount of missing data. For example, expressed sequence tags (ESTs), which are partial sequences of expressed genes, are the predominant source of seque...

Phylogenetic Analysis of Beta-Glucanase Producing Actinomycetes Strain TBG-CH22 - A Comparison of Conventional and Molecular Morphometric Approach

Actinomycetes are inexhaustible producers of commercially valuable metabolites, are continually screened for beneficial compounds. The taxonomic and phylogenetic study of novel actinomycetes strains are mostly based on conventional methods and primary DNA structure of 16s rRNA. Although 16s rRNA sequence is well accepted in phylogeny studies, its secondary structures have not been widely used. ...

DendroBLAST: Approximate Phylogenetic Trees in the Absence of Multiple Sequence Alignments

The rapidly growing availability of genome information has created considerable demand for both fast and accurate phylogenetic inference algorithms. We present a novel method called DendroBLAST for reconstructing phylogenetic dendrograms/trees from protein sequences using BLAST. This method differs from other methods by incorporating a simple model of sequence evolution to test the effect of in...
