 演題:  Making the most of noisy, low-quality genomes

 

Despite technological progress, most eukaryotic genomes remain stuck in draft quality. In theory, the more we know about the sequence universe, the easier characterising new genomes should be. Frustratingly however, integrating information across genomes of varying quality levels remains conceptually and practically challenging. In the talk, I will first present an evolutionary framework to address this problem, then I will show how this can be used to extract good sequences from different annotation sets, or to identify genes that might be associated with functional innovation or adaptation in the evolutionary history of these genomes. To address the issues of contamination, lateral gene transfer, or hidden paralogy, I will also present a process-agnostic method to cluster subsets of genes that have a common evolutionary history.
