Journal ArticleDOI

A novel hybrid gene prediction method employing protein multiple sequence alignments

TL;DR: This work extended the gene prediction software AUGUSTUS by a method that employs block profiles generated from multiple sequence alignments as a protein signature to improve the accuracy of the prediction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drawing the tree of eukaryotic life based on the analysis of 2,269 manually annotated myosins from 328 species

TL;DR: This approach is expected to result in superior accuracy compared to single-gene or phylogenomic analyses because the orthology problem is resolved and a strong determinant not depending on any technical uncertainties is incorporated, the class distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic innovations, transcriptional plasticity and gene loss underlying the evolution and divergence of two highly polyphagous and invasive Helicoverpa pest species

Stephen L. Pearce, +72 more
- 31 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: The extreme polyphagy of the two heliothines is associated with extensive amplification and neofunctionalisation of genes involved in host finding and use, coupled with versatile transcriptional responses on different hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scipio: Using protein sequences to determine the precise exon/intron structures of genes and their orthologs in closely related species

TL;DR: Scipio is able to precisely map a protein query onto a genome and provides the user with the correct determination of intron-exon borders and splice sites, showing an improved prediction accuracy compared to BLAT and Exonerate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Six Subgroups and Extensive Recent Duplications Characterize the Evolution of the Eukaryotic Tubulin Protein Family

TL;DR: Tubulins cannot be used for constructing species phylogenies without resolving their ortholog–paralog relationships, and the many gene duplicates and also the independent loss of the δ-, ε-, or ζ-tubulins suggest that tubulins can functionally substitute each other.
