The invention relates to the technical field of
biology, and particularly discloses a method for multi-species
gene family identification and analysis, which comprises the following steps: S1,
data preparation, S2, sequence extraction and comparison
library construction, S3, bidirectional BLAST screening, S4, conserved domain and homology
verification, S5, member naming and physicochemical property prediction, and S6, phylogenetic and collinearity analysis. According to the method, the recognition accuracy of
gene family members is effectively improved by combining bidirectional BLAST screening with structural domain
verification and
homology analysis, and the method is particularly suitable for
gene families with conservative structures and complex functions, such as C2H2 type
zinc finger
protein. The obtained member set has excellent performance in the aspects of structural domain integrity and phylogenetic consistency, false positive interference is remarkably reduced, and scientificity and representativeness of family mining are ensured; according to the invention, the C2H2
gene family is systematically identified and analyzed in various notopterygium plants for the first time, and the conservative and specific changes of the family in species evolution are disclosed.
