To get a clean and precise statement of the problem, we formalize it using graph theory.

The method works on both directed and undirected networks and can incorporate asymmetric interaction gain and loss costs.

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.

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.

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[DFAST: a flexible prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline for faster genome publication]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>We developed a prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline, DFAST, that also supports genome submission to public sequence databases. DFAST was originally started as an on-line annotation server, and to date, over 7,000 jobs have been processed since its first launch in 2016. Here, we present a newly implemented background annotation engine for DFAST, which is also available as a standalone command-line program. The new engine can annotate a typical-sized bacterial genome within 10 minutes, with rich information such as pseudogenes, translation exceptions, and orthologous gene assignment between given reference genomes. In addition, the modular framework of DFAST allows users to customize the annotation workflow easily and will also facilitate extensions for new functions and incorporation of new tools in the future.</p>
<div>Availability and Implementation</div>
<p>The software is implemented in Python 3 and runs in both Python 2.7 and 3.4&ndash; on Macintosh and Linux systems. It is freely available at&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/nigyta/dfast_core/" target="">https://github.com/nigyta/dfast_core/</a>&nbsp;under the GPLv3 license with external binaries bundled in the software distribution. An on-line version is also available at&nbsp;<a href="https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/" target="">https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/</a>.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/" rel="nofollow">https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/</a></p>]]></description>
