TL;DR: The combined application of next-generation sequencing platforms has provided an economical approach to unlocking the potential of the turkey genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
DeepARG: a deep learning approach for predicting antibiotic resistance genes from metagenomic data.
Gustavo Arango-Argoty,Emily Garner,Amy Pruden,Lenwood S. Heath,Peter J. Vikesland,Liqing Zhang +5 more
TL;DR: The deep learning models developed here offer more accurate antimicrobial resistance annotation relative to current bioinformatics practice, and DeepARG does not require strict cutoffs, which enables identification of a much broader diversity of ARGs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammalian Housekeeping Genes Evolve More Slowly than Tissue-Specific Genes
Liqing Zhang,Wen-Hsiung Li +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that, in comparison to tissue-specific genes, housekeeping genes on average evolve more slowly and are under stronger selective constraints as reflected by significantly smaller values of Ka/Ks, and contrary to the old textbook concept, approximately 74% of theHousekeeping genes in this study belong to multigene families, not significantly different from that of the tissue- specific genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct patterns of SSR distribution in the Arabidopsis thaliana and rice genomes
Mark J. Lawson,Liqing Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the evolution and distribution of SSRs in the two sequenced model plant genomes of monocots and dicots and reveals that the distributions appear highly non-random and vary a great deal in different regions of the genes in the genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
PseKNC-General: A cross-platform package for generating various modes of pseudo nucleotide compositions
TL;DR: P PseKNC-General (the general form of pseudo k-tuple nucleotide composition) is developed, that allows for fast and accurate computation of all the widely used nucleotide structural and physicochemical properties of both DNA and RNA sequences.
