Likelihood-based reconstruction of phylogenetic (evolutionary) trees from molecular sequence data exhibits extreme resource requirements because of the high computational cost of the phylogenetic likelihood function. We propose a dedicated computer architecture for the inference of phylogenies under the maximum likelihood criterion. Our design is sufficiently generic to support any possible input...
The partial sequence of the psbA gene from Cladosiphon okamuranus was amplified by PCR and their sequences were analysed. Neighbor-joining method was used to build phylogenetic trees according to the psbA sequence among 11 species, C. okamuranus included, that are affiliated to the algal order Ectocarpales. The results showed that the nucleotide sequence is 737 bp and the sequence shares high homology...
The first sequence obtained from a Potyvirus infecting Canna plants (Canna spp.) revealed that it is a new strain of Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), without noticeable recombination with other plant RNA viruses from this region being found. Using a degenerate primer for all Potyvirus, a DNA fragment of about 1.6kb size was amplified from total RNA samples extracted from natural-diseased Canna plants...
Phylogenic analysis relies on alignment of related sequences from different species to obtain the distances between these species. The quality of the alignment and the distance measure would depend on the alignment parameters that are used. In this work, we propose to use Relative Complexity Measure (RCM) to find the distances between the sequences which is not a parameter dependent measure. We used...
House dust mites not only live in house dusts but also affect human bodies. Among the many species, D. farinae, D. pteronyssinus, Euroglyphus maynei have been found commonly associated with Ig-E mediated allergic diseases. As a result, there is increasing effort to develop methods for diagnosis and treatment for diseases caused by these species. The present study was to explore the evolutionary relationships...
Driven by novel biological wet lab techniques such as pyrosequencing there has been an unprecedented molecular data explosion. The growth of biological sequence data has significantly out-paced Moore's law. This development also poses new computational and architectural challenges for the field of phylogenetic inference, i.e., the reconstruction of evolutionary histories (trees) for a set of organisms...
This paper describes a Taverna workflow environment with supporting web services for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) analysis of genes in shrimp. The workflow is used to investigate SNPs advantages for gene development. Our first workflow environment did not give satisfying results for the phylogenetic tree processes because the data flows between the web services would frequently time-out....
The assessment of phylogenetic network reconstruction methods requires the ability to compare phylogenetic networks. This is the first in a series of papers devoted to the analysis and comparison of metrics for tree-child time-consistent phylogenetic networks on the same set of taxa. In this paper, we study three metrics that have already been introduced in the literature: the Robinson-Foulds distance,...
