Detection and validation of single gene inversions (2003)

Lefebvre, J.F., El-Mabrouk, N., Tillier, E., Sankoff, D.

Motivation: The biologically meaningful algorithmic study of genome rearrangement should take into account the distribution of sizes of the rearranged genomic fragments. In particular, it is...

Comparable rates of gene loss and functional divergence after genome duplications early in vertebrate evolution. (1997)

Nadeau, J. H., Sankoff, D.

Duplicated genes are an important source of new protein functions and novel developmental and physiological pathways. Whereas most models for fate of duplicated genes show that they tend to be...

An algorithm for the display of nucleic acid secondary structure (1982)

Lapalme, G., Cedergren, R.J., Sankoff, D.

A simple algorithm is presented for the graphic display of nucleic acid secondary structure. Examples of secondary structure displays are given for tRNA, 5s RNA and part of the 16s RNA. Due to its...

Gene order comparisons for phylogenetic inference: evolution of the mitochondrial genome.

Sankoff, D, Leduc, G, Antoine, N, Paquin, B, Lang, B F, Cedergren, R

Detailed knowledge of gene maps or even complete nucleotide sequences for small genomes leads to the feasibility of evolutionary inference based on the macrostructure of entire genomes, rather than...

Genome structure and gene content in protist mitochondrial DNAs.

Gray, M W, Lang, B F, Cedergren, R, Golding, G B, Lemieux, C, Sankoff, D, ...

Although the collection of completely sequenced mitochondrial genomes is expanding rapidly, only recently has a phylogenetically broad representation of mtDNA sequences from protists (mostly...

On the evolutionary descent of organisms and organelles: a global phylogeny based on a highly conserved structural core in small subunit ribosomal RNA.

Gray, M W, Sankoff, D, Cedergren, R J

To probe the earliest evolutionary events attending the origin of the five known genome types (archaebacterial, eubacterial, nuclear, mitochondrial and plastid), we have analyzed sequences...

A strategy for sequence phylogeny research.

Sankoff, D, Cedergren, R J, McKay, W

Minimal mutation trees, and almost minimal trees, are constructed from two data sets, one of phenylalanine tRNA sequences, and the other of 5S RNA sequences, from a diverse range of organisms. The...

Convergence and minimal mutation criteria for evaluating early events in tRNA evolution.

Cedergren, R J, LaRue, B, Sankoff, D, Lapalme, G, Grosjean, H

The convergence of ancestral sequences independently constructed from different branches of a phylogenetic tree can be used as a test of homology of data sequences. This criterion has shown that all...

Synteny Conservation and Chromosome Rearrangements during Mammalian Evolution

Ehrlich, J., Sankoff, D., Nadeau, J. H.

An important problem in comparative genome analysis has been defining reliable measures of synteny conservation. The published analytical measures of synteny conservation have limitations....
