Comparative genomics, genome context and genome annotation Nothing in (computational) biology makes sense except in the light of evolution after Theodosius Dobzhansky (1970)
Genome context analysis and genome annotation Using information other than homologous relationships between individual gene/proteins for functional prediction (guilt by association) Types of context analysis: • phyletic patterns • domain fusion (“Rosetta Stone” proteins) • gene order conservation • co-expression • ….
Goals: • Using gene sets from complete genomes, delineate families of orthologs and paralogs - Clusters of Orthologous Groups (of genes) (COGs) • Using COGs, develop an engine • for functional annotation of new • genomes • Apply COGs for analysis of phylogenetic patterns
COG: - group of homologous proteins such that all proteins from different species are orthologs (all proteins from the same species in a COG are paralogs)
CONSTRUCTION OF COGs FOR 8 COMPLETE GENOMES Complete set of proteins from the analyzed genomes Merge triangles with common edges 1 6 FULL SELF-COMPARISON (BLASTPGP, no cut-off) Detect groups with multidomain proteins and isolate domains 2 5 Collapse obvious paralogs 3 REPEATSTEPS 3-5 Detect all interspecies Best Hits (BeTs) between individual proteins or groups of paralogs 4 COGs Detect all triangles of consistent BeTs
A RELATIVELY SIMPLE COG PRODUCED BY MERGING ADJACENT TRIANGLES
Current status of the COGs Prokaryotes 11 Archaea + 1 unicellular eukaryote + 46 bacteria = 58 complete genomes 149,321 proteins 105,861 proteins in 4075 COGs (71%) Eukaryotes 4 animals + 1 plant + 2 fungi + 1 microsporidium = 8 complete genomes 142,498 proteins 74,093 proteins in 4822 COGs (52%)
Search for genomic determinants of hyperthermophily
Search for unique archaeo-eukaryotic genes
A complementary pattern: search for unique bacterial genes
Essential function… but holes in the phyletic pattern Strict complementary pattern
Relaxed complementary pattern
