Sentence examples for reassignment of genes from inspiring English sources

Third, we analyzed the reassignment of genes at each phylogenetic point.

(C ) Cumulative distribution of module reassignment of genes before and after their duplication.

The agreement between gene assignments to regulons by these two methods is 0.044 (based on the adjusted rand index; as compared to an agreement between MCL clustering and random reassignment of genes to clusters of only 10-5).

Here, we report seven new mitogenomic sequences from Gekkonidae (Reptilia; Squamata) and describe several new gene rearrangements that involve shuffling, loss, and reassignment of tRNA genes.

The loss and reassignment of tRNA genes is not very common in vertebrate mitogenomes and our findings raise new questions as to how missing tRNAs are supplied and if the reassigned tRNA gene is fully functional.

We number the Abpa and Abpbg paralogues by their sequential occurrence in Abpa- Abpbg gene pairs along the chromosome (i.e., B6_ AB6_1-B6_ Abpbg1, B6_ a2-B6_ bg2, etc.; Figure 2) despite this resulting in the reassignment of some gene names (see Additional file 2 for current and previous designations).

An alternative possibility is that the tRNAGlu gene was already lost from the most recent common ancestor but that a tRNAGlu gene was newly created in the common ancestor of U. fimbriatus and U. sikorae by a mechanism such as tandem duplication of another tRNA gene and reassignment of a duplicate gene copy to tRNAGlu via anticodon mutation.

Conversely, Modules 2, 3, and 4 are less stable, with more frequent reassignment of their member genes to other modules.

To assess the tendency of a gene to be reassigned between modules before and after duplication, we compared the normalized number of reassignments of a gene pre-duplication to the minimum, maximum and average of the normalized number of reassignments of its two 'descendant' copies post-duplication.

Second, we compared the cumulative distributions of normalized reassignment counts for genes that were never duplicated vs those that had a duplication event.

By aligning homologous genes from related organisms with differing genetic codes, it is possible to discern whether changes in gene length are due to simple truncation or extension at the 3' end of genes, indel mutations throughout the length of genes, or differences in genome composition (e.g. a disproportionate loss of shorter genes corresponding to stop codon reassignment).
