Gene Flow

Gene flow is the transfer of genes among populations, resulting from either the dispersal of gametes or from the migration of individuals.

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

7.1K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

5.7K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Gene Duplication and Divergence

6.1K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Gene content is crucial for organismal biology and varies across species and individuals.
  • Existing tools for bacterial pangenomes are not suitable for large eukaryotic pangenomes, such as the human pangenome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational tool for identifying gene content variations in large eukaryotic pangenomes.
  • To enable the analysis of gene orientation, gene order, and gene copy-number changes.

Main Methods:

  • Developed 'pangene', a computational tool that aligns protein sequences to genomes.
  • Constructs a gene graph representing each genome and identifies 'bibubbles' (subgraphs) capturing gene content changes.
  • Applied pangene to the human pangenome and bacterial pangenomes.

Main Results:

  • Pangene successfully identifies known gene-level variations in the human pangenome.
  • Reveals previously unstudied complex haplotypes within the human pangenome.
  • Achieves comparable core and accessory gene counts to existing tools for bacterial pangenomes.

Conclusions:

  • Pangene is an effective tool for analyzing gene content variations in large eukaryotic pangenomes.
  • Facilitates the discovery of complex genomic structures and variations.
  • Provides a valuable resource for comparative genomics research.
