alienness : Rapid Detection of Candidate Horizontal Gene Transfers across the Tree of Life

Jit — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 09:24:40 -0500

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the transmission of genes between organisms by other means than parental to offspring inheritance. While it is prevalent in prokaryotes, HGT is less frequent in eukaryotes and particularly in Metazoa. Here, we propose Alienness, a taxonomy-aware web application available at http://alienness.sophia.inra.fr

UPGMA Worked Example

Abhi — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 06:13:34 -0500

The tabs below include a walkthrough of clustering 7 biological sequences (A-G) using the Unweighted Pair-Group Method with Arithmetic mean (UPGMA) method. Note that UPGMA is actually a generic method and thus the walkthrough could apply to any objects A-G for which pairwise distances can be calculated. A small CGI site for generating a UPGMA tree from a distance matrix can be found here.

Ancestral Genomes: a resource for reconstructed ancestral genes and genomes across the tree of life

Abhimanyu Singh — Fri, 02 Nov 2018 08:16:27 -0500

Ancestral Genomes (http://ancestralgenomes.org) is a resource for comprehensive reconstructions of these ‘fossil genomes’. Comprehensive sets of protein-coding genes have been reconstructed for 78 genomes of now-extinct species that were the common ancestors of extant species from across the tree of life.
