The Relation between Indel Length and Functional Divergence: A Formal Study
[chapter]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Distinguishing between indel and non-indel pairs, according to our novel statistics, revealed that, despite having the same sequence identity, indel pairs are significantly less functionally similar than ...
This suggests that indels cause more severe functional changes than other types of sequence variation and that indel statistics should be taken into additional account to assess functional similarity between ...
Acknowledgements We would like to greatly thank Francisco Couto and Daniel Faria for computing the GO similarity values and Michael Coons for helpful discussions and proofreading the mathematical parts ...

Amplitude spectrum distance: measuring the global shape divergence of protein fragments
2015
BMC Bioinformatics
Defined as the distance between their amplitude spectra, ASD can be computed efficiently and provides a parameter-free measure of the global shape dissimilarity of two fragments. ...
Yet, there is still a lack of more progressive scores, with meaningful intermediate values, for the comparison, retrieval or clustering of distantly related fragments. ...

A Simple Statistical Method for Estimating Type-II (Cluster-Specific) Functional Divergence of Protein Sequences
2006
Molecular biology and evolution
In this paper, we focus on the issue of how to statistically identify cluster-specific amino acid residues that are related to the functional divergence after gene duplication. ...
Case studies are presented and indicate that radical cluster-specific residues are responsible for most of inferred type-II functional divergence, whereas conserved cluster-specific residues appear less ...

A Computational Study of Elongation Factor G (EFG) Duplicated Genes: Diverged Nature Underlying the Innovation on the Same Structural Template
2011
PLoS ONE
The EFG II specific functional changes could be related to changes in the properties of nucleotide binding and hydrolysis and strengthened ionic interactions between EFG II and the ribosome, particularly ...
Whereas the gene duplication is postulated to be a prominent factor creating functional novelty, the striking divergence between EFG paralogs can be interpreted in terms of innovation in gene function. ...

Accurate prediction of orthologs in the presence of divergence after duplication
[article]
2018
bioRxiv
pre-print
Results: We formalize the notion of divergence after duplication, and provide a theoretical basis for the inference of primary and secondary orthologs. ...
This has important consequences on the prediction of orthology relationships, since two orthologous genes separated by divergence after duplication may differ in both sequence and function. ...
Thus for each gene tree and each ∈ {1, 2, 8, 50}, we used INDELiBLE to generate a set of extant gene sequences obtained by multiplying the length each divergent edge by . ...

Collectively, these studies suggest a convergence of some genetic changes in mammary cancer between species but also distinctly different paths to tumorigenesis. ...
To address the mutation accumulation and antagonistic pleiotropy theory, we investigated Ka/Ks value 237 aging-related genes from human and canine, the aging-related genes do not show selection in canine ...
Further, we reveal divergent indels and 527 DNA copy number profiles, as compare to human breast cancer, canine mammary cancer showing 528 fewer indels and copy number changes. 529 Importantly, we identified ...

Patterns and tempo of PCSK9 pseudogenizations suggest an ancient divergence in mammalian cholesterol homeostasis mechanisms
