TLDR
The method-reciprocal smallest distance algorithm (rsd)-relies on global sequence alignment and maximum likelihood estimation of evolutionary distances to detect orthologs between two genomes.
Abstract
We developed an algorithm that improves upon the common procedure of taking reciprocal best blast hits(rbh) in the identification of orthologs. The method-reciprocal smallest distance algorithm (rsd)-relies on global sequence alignment and maximum likelihood estimation of evolutionary distances to detect orthologs between two genomes. rsd finds many putative orthologs missed by rbh because it is less likely than rbh to be misled by the presence of a close paralog.

OrthoFinder: solving fundamental biases in whole genome comparisons dramatically improves orthogroup inference accuracy

TL;DR: A novel orthogroups inference algorithm called OrthoFinder is provided that solves a previously undetected gene length bias in orthogroup inference, resulting in significant improvements in accuracy and utility.

Protein complex prediction with AlphaFold-Multimer

TL;DR: In this article, an AlphaFold model trained specifically for multimeric inputs of known stoichiometry was proposed, which significantly increases the accuracy of predicted multimimeric interfaces over input-adapted single-chain AlphaFolds.

Genomic Analysis of the Necrotrophic Fungal Pathogens Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea

Joelle Amselem, +76 more

TL;DR: Comparative genome analysis revealed the basis of differing sexual mating compatibility systems between S. sclerotiorum and B. cinerea, and shed light on the evolutionary and mechanistic bases of the genetically complex traits of necrotrophic pathogenicity and sexual mating.

Why highly expressed proteins evolve slowly

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that selection to reduce the burden of protein misfolding will favor protein sequences with increased robustness to translational missense errors, and genome-wide tests favor the translational robustness explanation over existing hypotheses that invoke constraints on function or translational efficiency.

Mechanisms of haploinsufficiency revealed by genome-wide profiling in yeast.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the primary mechanism of haploinsufficiency in yeast is due to insufficient protein production, which is alleviated by slowing the growth rate of each strain in minimal media, suggesting that certain genes are rate limiting for growth only in YPD.

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool

TL;DR: A new approach to rapid sequence comparison, basic local alignment search tool (BLAST), directly approximates alignments that optimize a measure of local similarity, the maximal segment pair (MSP) score.

The rapid generation of mutation data matrices from protein sequences

TL;DR: An efficient means for generating mutation data matrices from large numbers of protein sequences is presented, by means of an approximate peptide-based sequence comparison algorithm, which is fast enough to process the entire SWISS-PROT databank in 20 h on a Sun SPARCstation 1, and is fastenough to generate a matrix from a specific family or class of proteins in minutes.

Essential Genes Are More Evolutionarily Conserved Than Are Nonessential Genes in Bacteria

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine genomic sequence data with experimental knockout data to compare the rates of evolution and the levels of selection for essential versus nonessential bacterial genes, finding that essential bacterial genes appear to be more conserved than are nonessential genes over both relatively short (microevolutionary) and longer (macroevolutional) time scales.

The closest BLAST hit is often not the nearest neighbor.

TL;DR: The analysis of the genomes of a crenarcheaota species Aeropyrum pernix, an organism with few close relatives fully sequenced, and Escherichia coli, an organisms whose closest relative, Salmonella typhimurium, is completely sequenced are chosen.

Protein dispensability and rate of evolution

TL;DR: The analysis of the results from a highly parallel growth assay of single gene deletions in yeast reveals a highly significant relationship between protein dispensability and evolutionary rate, and explains why this relationship is not detectable by categorical comparison of essential versus non-essential proteins.
