Dblox: a genome-wide test for ancient segmental duplication
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED Dblox and RDblox provide a simple statistical test for duplicated genomic structure; the same programs can also be used to identify putatively duplicated regions. The method focuses on ancient duplication events involving protein-coding genes. AVAILABILITY http://www.biol.sc.edu/~austin/

The Sea Lamprey Meiotic Map Resolves Ancient Vertebrate Genome Duplications
Gene and genome duplications serve as an important reservoir of material for the evolution of new biological functions. It is generally accepted that many genes present in vertebrate genomes owe their origin to two whole genome duplications that occurred deep in the ancestry of the vertebrate lineage. However, details regarding the timing and outcome of these duplications are not well resolved....
متن کاملUnraveling ancient segmental duplication events in human genome by phylogenetic analysis of multigene families residing on HOX-cluster paralogons.
BACKGROUND Vertebrate genomes contain extensive intra-genomic conserved synteny, which is the presence of similar set of genes on two or more chromosomes (paralogons). The existence of these paralogons has led to the proposal that vertebrate genome was structured by one or more rounds of ancient whole genome duplications (2R hypothesis). RESULTS The 2R hypothesis was tested by phylogenetic an...
متن کاملThe sea lamprey meiotic map improves resolution of ancient vertebrate genome duplications.
It is generally accepted that many genes present in vertebrate genomes owe their origin to two whole-genome duplications that occurred deep in the ancestry of the vertebrate lineage. However, details regarding the timing and outcome of these duplications are not well resolved. We present high-density meiotic and comparative genomic maps for the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), a representative...
متن کاملPhylogenomic analysis reveals ancient segmental duplications in the human genome.
Evolution of organismal complexity and origin of novelties during vertebrate history has been widely explored in context of both regulation of gene expression and gene duplication events. Ohno (1970) for the first time put forward the idea of two rounds whole genome duplication events as the most plausible explanation for evolutionarizing the vertebrate lineage (2R hypothesis). To test the vali...
متن کاملAnalyzing Inverse Symmetry with Original and Terminal Sites of Prokaryotic Genome
The segmental duplication has long been known to be a major mechanism for genome growth and evolution. Beyond that, the large-scale genomic duplication is important in the evolution of species. Recent studies have spotted occurrence of whole-genome duplication provided great insight into many aspects of biology. In this work we investigate possible association of inverse symmetry with whole-gen...
