New Genome Similarity Measures based on Conserved Gene Adjacencies

Bernard Moret, Shachi Shailesh Deshpande

Many important questions in molecular biology, evolution, and biomedicine can be addressed by comparative genomic approaches. One of the basic tasks when comparing genomes is the definition of measures of similarity (or dissimilarity) between two genomes, ...

Background: The gene family-free framework for comparative genomics aims at providing methods for gene order analysis that do not require prior gene family assignment, but work directly on a sequence similarity graph. We study two problems related to the b ...

Landscape genomic approach to detect selection signatures in locally adapted Brazilian swine genetic groups

Stéphane Joost, Robson Jose Cesconeto

Samples of 191 animals from 18 different Brazilian locally adapted swine genetic groups were genotyped using Illumina Porcine SNP60 BeadChip in order to identify selection signatures related to the monthly variation of Brazilian environmental variables. Us ...

The gene family-free framework for comparative genomics aims at developing methods for gene order analysis that do not require prior gene family assignment, but work directly on a sequence similarity graph. We present a model for constructing a median of t ...

Multi-scale landscape genomic models

Kevin Leempoel

Environmental heterogeneity is one of the main actors of biodiversity and species adaptation as it exerts a selective pressure on observable characteristics of living organisms. Consequently, local adaptation favours certain genetic variants and, by doing ...

EPFL2015

The deluge of sequenced whole-genome data has motivated the study of comparative genomics, which provides global views on genome evolution, and also offers practical solutions in deciphering the functional roles of components of genomes. A fundamental comp ...

De-anonymizing Genomic Databases Using Phenotypic Traits

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Joachim Ludovic Hugonot, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Erman Ayday

People increasingly have their genomes sequenced and some of them share their genomic data online. They do so for various purposes, including to find relatives and to help advance genomic research. An individual's genome carries very sensitive, private inf ...

A Systems Approach to Identify Genetic and Environmental Regulators of Metabolism

Evan Graehl Williams

For more than a century, it has been recognized that our genetic inheritance and our environment interact to shape who we are and how we act (nature vs. nurture), and the study of genetics has allowed us to explain why traits can vary dramatically betwee ...

Riding the whole-genome data tsunami: a landscape genomic study of local adaptation in Moroccan sheep and goats

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Kevin Leempoel

In Morocco, like in other developing countries, small ruminants play an important role in the livelihood of a large proportion of farmers and landless shepherds. Conserving traditional breeds is essential in these countries since they are able to prosper i ...

Improving Comparative Genomic Studies

Cristina Gabriela Ghiurcuta

Comparative genomics aims to understand the structure of genomes and the function of various genomic fragments, by transferring knowledge gained from well studied genomes, to the new object of study. Rapid and inexpensive high-throughput sequencing is maki ...
