OGtree: a tool for creating genome trees of prokaryotes based on overlapping genes
2008
Nucleic Acids Research
OGtree is a web-based tool for constructing genome trees of prokaryotic species based on a measure of combining overlapping-gene content and overlapping-gene order in their whole genomes. ...
It then downloads their complete genomes from the National Centre for Biotechnology Information and identifies OGs in each genome and their orthologous OGs in other genomes. ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work was supported in part by National Science Council of Republic of China under grant NSC96-2221-E-009-126 and in part by the ATU plan of MOE. ...

Displacement of ɛ-proteobacterial core genes by horizontally transferred homologous genes
2005
Research in Microbiology
The introduction of novel genes by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is considered an alternative mechanism for genetic adaptation, leading to diversification and speciation. ...
Among the 991 core genes found in all five completed ε-proteobacterial genome sequences, we identified 30 genes that were probably acquired by HGT. ...

Causes of Insertion Sequences Abundance in Prokaryotic Genomes
2007
Molecular biology and evolution
Gene transfer is also not a significant determinant of the abundance of IS elements in genomes, suggesting that IS abundance is controlled at the level of transposition and ensuing natural selection and ...
The current availability of hundreds of genomes renders testable many of these hypotheses, notably that IS abundance correlates positively with the frequency of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), genome size ...
Acknowledgments We thank Guillaume Achaz, Isabelle Gonc xalves, and the reviewers for comments and criticisms on previous versions of this manuscript. ...

An acquisition account of genomic islands based on genome signature comparisons
2005
BMC Genomics
Recent analyses of prokaryotic genome sequences have demonstrated the important force horizontal gene transfer constitutes in genome evolution. ...
We assessed the compositional similarity and putative acquisition account of these GIs using the genome signature. For this analysis we developed a new algorithm, available as a web application. ...

Interpolated variable order motifs for identification of horizontally acquired DNA: revisiting the Salmonella pathogenicity islands
2006
Computer applications in the biosciences : CABIOS
Motivation: There is a growing literature on the detection of Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events by means of parametric, non-comparative methods. ...
We applied the IVOM approach to the genome of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi CT18, a well-studied prokaryote in terms of HGT events, and we show that the IVOMs outperform state-of-the-art low and high ...

Phylogenomic Evidence for a Myxococcal Contribution to the Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Beta-Oxidation
2011
PLoS ONE
We conducted a conservative pipeline with homologous sequence searches against a genomic sampling of 40 eukaryotic and 357 prokaryotic genomes. ...
Although it is clear that eukaryotic genomes are a chimeric combination of genes of eubacterial and archaebacterial ancestry, the specific ancestry of most eubacterial genes is still unknown. ...
Parts of the simulations were performed using the freely available CIPRES-Portal 1.0 and 2.0 [46] and Bioportal (www.bioportal.uio.no) [51] . ...

BMC Genomics
Some 'putative GIs' are identified in the first phase, and those are refined into smaller segments containing horizontally acquired genes in the refinement phase. ...
Many of the available methods for detecting Genomic Islands (GIs) in prokaryotic genomes use markers such as transposons, proximal tRNAs, flanking repeats etc., or they use other supervised techniques ...
