21. Inferring Ancestry : Mitochondrial Origins and Other Deep Branches in the Eukaryote Tree of Life
Sammanfattning : There are ~12 supergroups of complex-celled organisms (eukaryotes), but relationships among them (including the root) remain elusive. For Paper I, I developed a dataset of 37 eukaryotic proteins of bacterial origin (euBac), representing the conservative protein core of the proto-mitochondrion. LÄS MER
22. Computational approaches for in-depth analysis of cDNA sequence tags
Sammanfattning : Major recent improvements in biotechnology have led to an accelerated production of DNA sequences. The completion of the human genome sequence, along with the genomes of more than two hundred other species, has marked the arrival of the genome era. The ultimate goal is to understand the structure and function of genomes and their genes. LÄS MER
23. Development of New Methods for Inferring and Evaluating Phylogenetic Trees
Sammanfattning : Inferring phylogeny is a difficult computational problem. Heuristics are necessary to minimize the time spent evaluating non optimal trees. In paper I, we developed an approach for heuristic searching, using a genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithms mimic the natural selections ability to solve complex problems. LÄS MER
24. Gene finding in Populus- The Bioinformatics of a EST program
Sammanfattning : During the course of the work described in this thesis, ESTsequencing project was initiated in woody plant poplar forlarge scale gene discovery in a tree specie. Since most of thetree genomes are considerably large in size, EST sequencing wasconsidered to be a cost effective method for gene discovery. LÄS MER
25. The relationship between orthology, protein domain architecture and protein function
Sammanfattning : Lacking experimental data, protein function is often predicted from evolutionary and protein structure theory. Under the 'domain grammar' hypothesis the function of a protein follows from the domains it encodes. LÄS MER
