<p>Research in our group focuses on the investigation of the signals involved in gene specification in genomic sequences (promoter elements, splice sites, translation initiation sites, etc…). We are interested both in the mechanism of their recognition and processing, and in their evolution. In addition, but related to this basic component of our research, our group is also involved in the development of software for gene prediction and annotation in genomic sequences. Our group also actively participates in the analysis of many eukaryotic genomes and it in involved in the NIH-funded ENCODE project. Furthermore we are members of two large cancer-studies consortia (chronic lymphocytic leukemia "CLL" and Breast Cancer -Hospital del Mar/CRG/Roche-).  <br /> <br />More at http://big.crg.cat/computational_biology_of_rna_processing</p>

Given information about adjacencies between conserved segments in each modern species, our goal is to infer segment order in the ancestral genome. To get a clean and precise statement of the problem, we formalize it using graph theory. We develop an algorithm that identifies a most parsimonious scenario for the history of each individual adjacency, although the whole-genome prediction is not guaranteed to optimize traditional measures like the number of breakpoints. We introduce weights to the graph edges to model the reliability of each adjacency.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><a href="http://paleogenomics.irmacs.sfu.ca/ANGES/" target="_blank" title="To ANGES official website">ANGES</a>:</span><a href="http://paleogenomics.irmacs.sfu.ca/ANGES/" target="_blank" title="To ANGES official website">reconstructing ANcestral GEnomeS maps</a></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span>A suite of Python programs that allows reconstructing ancestral genome maps from the comparison of the organization of extant-related genomes.

MySSP has a fairly simple graphical user interface (GUI) for basic use, but also has a specialized batch script interpreter to allow for more complicated or large-scale simulations.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ckingsf/software/parana/" target="_blank" title="To PARANA official website">PARANA</a>:&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ckingsf/software/parana/" target="_blank" title="To PARANA official website">Parsimonious Ancestral Reconstruction And Network Analysis</a></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Performs parsimony based inference of ancestral biological networks. Given multiple extant networks and phylogenetic information relating extant nodes, PARANA finds a parsimonious set of ancestral interaction events (edge gains and losses) which explain the extant networks. The framework adopted by PARANA is able to represent network evolution under models that support gene duplication and loss and independent interaction gain and loss. The method works on both directed and undirected networks and can incorporate asymmetric interaction gain and loss costs. In contrast to previous approaches, PARANA does not require knowing the relative ordering of unrelated duplication events and thus, works on phylogenetic trees even where branch lengths are not provided.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><a href="http://www-labs.iro.umontreal.ca/~mabrouk/" target="_blank" title="To GapAdj official website">GapAdj</a>:&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www-labs.iro.umontreal.ca/~mabrouk/" target="_blank" title="To GapAdj official website">Gapped Adjacencies</a></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>A synteny-based method that is flexible enough to handle a model of evolution involving whole genome duplication events, in addition to rearrangements, gene insertions, and losses. Ancestral relationships between markers are defined in term of Gapped Adjacencies, i.e. pairs of markers separated by up to a given number of markers. It improves on a previous restricted to direct adjacencies, which revealed a high accuracy for adjacency prediction, but with the drawback of being overly conservative, i.e. of generating a large number of contiguous ancestral regions (CARs).</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><a href="http://ancestors.bioinfo.uqam.ca/"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>ANCESTOR</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>A web server allowing one to easily and quickly perform the last three steps of the ancestral genome reconstruction procedure. Ancestors implements several alignment algorithms, an indel maximum likelihood solver and a context-dependent maximum likelihood substitution inference algorithm.

ProCARs runs from a phylogeny tree (without branch lengths needed) with a marked ancestor and a block file. This homology-based method is based on iteratively detecting and assembling ancestral adjacencies, while allowing some micro-rearrangements of synteny blocks at the extremities of the progressively assembled CARs. The method starts with a set of blocks as the initial set of CARs, and detects iteratively the potential ancestral adjacencies between extremities of CARs, while building up the CARs progressively by adding, at each step, new non-conflicting adjacencies that induce the less homoplasy phenomenon. The species tree is used, in some additional internal steps, to compute a score for the remaining conflicting adjacencies, and to detect other reliable adjacencies, in order to reach completely assembled ancestral genomes.</p><p><a href="http://fastml.tau.ac.il/" target="_blank" title="To FastML official website"><span>FastML</span></a></p><p>A user-friendly tool for the reconstruction of ancestral sequences. FastML implements various novel features that differentiate it from existing tools: (i) FastML uses an indel-coding method, in which each gap, possibly spanning multiples sites, is coded as binary data. FastML then reconstructs ancestral indel states assuming a continuous time Markov process. FastML provides the most likely ancestral sequences, integrating both indels and characters; (ii) FastML accounts for uncertainty in ancestral states: it provides not only the posterior probabilities for each character and indel at each sequence position, but also a sample of ancestral sequences from this posterior distribution, and a list of the k-most likely ancestral sequences; (iii) FastML implements a large array of evolutionary models, which makes it generic and applicable for nucleotide, protein and codon sequences; and (iv) a graphical representation of the results is provided, including, for example, a graphical logo of the inferred ancestral sequences.</p><p><a href="http://rth.dk/resources/maxAlike/" target="_blank" title="To maxAlike official website"><span>maxAlike</span></a></p><p>Reconstructs a genomic sequence for a specific taxon based on sequence homologs in other species. The input is a multiple sequence alignment and a phylogenetic tree that also contains the target species. For this target species, the algorithm computes nucleotide probabilities at each sequence position. Consensus sequences are then reconstructed based on a certain confidence level.</p><p><span><span><a href="http://www.geneorder.org/server.php" target="_blank" title="To MLGO official website">MLGO</a>:&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.geneorder.org/server.php" target="_blank" title="To MLGO official website">Maximum Likelihood for Gene Order Analysis</a></span></p><p>A web tool for the reconstruction of phylogeny and/or ancestral genomes from gene-order data. MLGO was designed for analysis of large-scale genomic changes including not only rearrangements but also gene insertions, deletions and duplications. MLGO can be used to infer a phylogeny from genome rearrangement and gene order data, and can also obtain an estimation of ancestral genomes, given an input tree. MLGO takes the advantage of binary encoding on gene-order data, supports a fairly general model of genomic evolution (rearrangements plus duplications, insertions, and losses of genomic regions), and successfully accommodates itself into the framework of maximized likelihood.</p><p>Image Reference : Wiki</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Sequencing By Xpansion]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Sequencing By Xpansion (SBX) is a DNA sequencing method that uses a simple biochemical reaction to encode the sequence of a DNA molecule into a highly measurable surrogate called an Xpandomer. This single molecule approach produces enough Xpandomer in a single drop reaction to sequence an entire human genome 1000X over. To achieve this, an Xpandomer replaces each DNA sequence with a sequence of large, high signal reporter molecules using the SBX molecular expansion technology. The DNA sequence is then read out as the Xpandomer reporters pass sequentially through a nanopore detector. SBX is a molecular engineering platform that benefits from core design principles that separate the multiple molecular functions. This systems approach enables efficient development and incorporation of improvements to SBX and is key to reconfiguring and optimizing Xpandomer measurement for different detection platforms.</p><p>http://www.stratosgenomics.com/stratos-genomics-technology</p>]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[
<p>The bakers yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an ideal model organism to understand mechanisms of meiotic chromosome segregation. In S. cerevisiae and in mammals, the majority of meiotic crossovers are formed through a highly conserved MSH4p-MSH5p, MLH1p-MLH3p dependent pathway. We are interested in charactering the role of these complexes in crossover formation and distribution among all homolog pairs. Errors in this process are linked to congenital birth defects in humans such as Down's syndrome.Our laboratory is also interested in understanding the effect of genetic background on mutation rate variation using S. cerevisiae as a model. These studies are relevant for understanding cancer progression, genome evolution and architecture. We use high- throughput genomic methods as well as classical genetics to achieve these aims. </p>
