A likelihood method for the detection of selection and recombination using nucleotide sequences 总被引:28,自引:12,他引:16
Different regions along nucleotide sequences are often subject to different
evolutionary forces. Recombination will result in regions having different
evolutionary histories, while selection can cause regions to evolve at
different rates. This paper presents a statistical method based on
likelihood for detecting such processes by identifying the regions which do
not fit with a single phylogenetic topology and nucleotide substitution
process along the entire sequence. Subsequent reanalysis of these anomalous
regions may then be possible. The method is tested using simulations, and
its application is demonstrated using the primate psi eta-globin
pseudogene, the V3 region of the envelope gene of HIV-1, and argF sequences
from Neisseria bacteria. Reanalysis of anomalous regions is shown to reveal
possible immune selection in HIV-1 and recombination in Neisseria. A
computer program which implements the method is available.

We report here the construction, characterization, and application of a plasmid-based genetic system that reports the expression of a target promoter by effecting an irreversible, heritable change in a bacterial cell. This system confers strong repression of the reporter gene gfp in the absence of target promoter expression and utilizes the site-specific recombination machinery of bacteriophage P22 to trigger high-level reporter gene expression in the original cell and its progeny after target gene induction. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this genetic system by tailoring it to indicate the availability of arabinose to the biological control agent Enterobacter cloacae JL1157 in culture and in the barley rhizosphere. The presence of bioavailable arabinose triggered the production of P22 excisionase and integrase from the reporter plasmid pAraLHB in JL1157, and this led to excision of the cI repressor gene, which is flanked by att sites, and the subsequent irreversible expression of gfp in the original cell and in its progeny. In culture, nearly 100% of an E. cloacae JL1157(pAraLHB) population expressed gfp after exposure to 6.5 to 65 μM arabinose for 3 h. We used this biosensor to demonstrate that arabinose was released from the seeds of several legumes and grass species during germination and from roots of barley seedlings grown hydroponically or in soil. When introduced into microcosms containing barley, the biosensor permitted the localization of arabinose along the roots. Arabinose was present near the root-seed junction and on the seminal roots but was not detected at the root tips. This recombination-based reporter system should be useful for monitoring bacterial exposure to transient or low levels of specific molecules directly in the environment. 相似文献

INTRODUCTIONRecombinant DNA technology is a powerful toolfor the introduction of foreign genes into longlivedperennials and fOr fundamelltal studies of gene expression. Using such techniques, we can overcomethe difficulties associated with the breeding of a long-lived perennial. At present, although considerablereseaxch effort has been devoted to the genetic en-gineering of fOrest trees, it has lagged behind ad-vances made in herbaceous crops due both to eco-nomics and the recalcitrant n… 相似文献

Induced pluripotent stem(iPS) cells can be derived from human somatic cells by cellular reprogramming.This technology provides a potential source of non-controversial therapeutic cells for tissue repair,drug discovery,and opportunities for studying the molecular basis of human disease.Normally,mouse embryonic fibroblasts(MEFs) are used as feeder layers in the initial derivation of iPS lines.The purpose of this study was to determine whether SNL fibroblasts can be used to support the growth of human iPS cell... 相似文献

MOTIVATION: High accuracy of data always governs the large-scale gene discovery projects. The data should not only be trustworthy but should be correctly annotated for various features it contains. Sequence errors are inherent in single-pass sequences such as ESTs obtained from automated sequencing. These errors further complicate the automated identification of EST-related sequencing. A tool is required to prepare the data prior to advanced annotation processing and submission to public databases. RESULTS: This paper describes ESTprep, a program designed to preprocess expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences. It identifies the location of features present in ESTs and allows the sequence to pass only if it meets various quality criteria. Use of ESTprep has resulted in substantial improvement in accurate EST feature identification and fidelity of results submitted to GenBank.

LINE-1 (L1) lineages in the mouse 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Recently, a rapidly amplifying family of mouse LINE-1 (L1) has been identified and named T(F). The evolutionary context surrounding the derivation of the T(F) family was examined through phylogenetic analysis of sequences in the 3' portion of the repeat. The Mus musculus domesticus T(F) family was found to be the terminal subfamily of the previously identified L1Md4 lineage. The L1Md4 lineage joins the other prototypical mouse LINE-1 lineage (the L1MdA2 lineage) approximately 1 MYA at about the time of the common ancestor of M. m. domesticus, Mus spicilegus, and Mus spretus. However, the T(F) family from M. m. domesticus was found to join to the previously reported M. spretus Ms475 and Ms7024 LINE-1 families at just 0.5 MYA, indicating horizontal transfer. The T(F) family from M. m. domesticus was then found to be even more recently related to LINE-1's from another species, M. spicilegus. A separate spretus A2 lineage was found through a directed search of a PCR library. This lineage, in contrast to the spretus T(F) lineage, does join domesticus at about 1 MYA, as would be expected in the absence of horizontal transfer. A third major family was also found that splits off from the L1Md4 lineage shortly after its departure from the L1MdA2 lineage. The new family, named the Z family, was found to contain the de novo LINE-1 inserts causing the beige and med mutations. Whether the split with the Z family was before or after the recombination that introduced the F-type promoters and defined the inception of T(F) as a lineage is unclear. In enumerating copies of the various LINE-1 families, we found that T(F) 3' ends were not much more numerous than the reported number of 5' ends, suggesting that T(F) may not be subjected to the 90% truncation pattern typical of LINE-1 as a whole. 相似文献
