Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of efficient stop codon readthrough in four mammalian genes

TL;DR: Comparative genomic analysis revealed that in the four readthrough candidates containing UGA-CUAG, this motif is conserved not only in mammals but throughout vertebrates with the first six of the seven nucleotides being universally conserved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic discovery and characterization of fly microRNAs using 12 Drosophila genomes

TL;DR: It is shown that miRNA discovery power scales with the number and divergence of species compared, suggesting that such approaches can be successful in human as dozens of mammalian genomes become available.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unified modeling of gene duplication, loss, and coalescence using a locus tree

TL;DR: A new probabilistic model is presented, DLCoal, that defines gene duplication and loss in a population setting, such that coalescence and ILS can be directly addressed, and the first general reconciliation method that accurately infers gene duplications and losses in the presence of ILS is developed.
