- 生物信息学是一种生物信息学.
背景情况:
- 由于测序成本下降,个性化基因组学正在扩大.
- 发现罕见变异需要方法来了解它们的功能影响和疾病关联.
- 估计突变的年龄 (等位基因年龄) 对于表征变异至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 评估现有的基因基因年龄估计器 (Relate,GEVA,Runtc) 在全外体数据上的性能.
- 评估这些估计器在不同的人口模型 (中性,扩展,背景选择) 下的表现.
主要方法:
- 使用了模拟的全外因子测序数据.
- 测试了三个等位基因年龄估计器 (Relate,GEVA,Runtc).
- 在中性常数,人口扩张和背景选择模型下评估了表现.
主要成果:

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 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...
