115 results about "Phylogenetic tree" patented technology

A phylogenetic tree or evolutionary tree is a branching diagram or "tree" showing the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities—their phylogeny (/faɪˈlɒdʒəni/)—based upon similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics. All life on Earth is part of a single phylogenetic tree, indicating common ancestry.

Method and system for building a phylogeny from genetic sequences and using the same for recommendation of vaccine strain candidates for the influenza virus

A computer-implemented method and a computer system for identifying a phylogenetic tree from a plurality of biological sequences is provided. Each biological sequence is associated with a sampling date. First, the plurality of biological sequences is aligned and a distance matrix is obtained. Then, a subset of these sequences without any duplicated sequences is selected and a directed graph representation of the subset of biological sequences is generated based the associated sampling dates. Then, a minimum spanning tree is computed from the weighted directed graph representation. Then, in an iterative procedure, the sequences of unsampled evolutionary intermediates are inferred from mutation patterns that reflect the difference in sequence between the nodes in the minimum spanning tree. The new sequences are added with associated time stamps to the sequence set. Then, sets of identical sequences are removed. Then, an optimum branching is recomputed. This step is repeated until no new intermediates are found. In the final step, the sequences that have been set aside in the initializing step are added to the plurality of sequences derived in the update step. From this plurality of sequences an optimum branching is computed and identified as the phylogenetic tree. Amino acid changes repeatedly occurring on the internal branches of the obtained tree can be used to identify sequences and associated viral isolates suitable as vaccine strains for the following influenza season.

Phylogenetic tree construction method based on sequence pattern mining algorithm

The invention relates to a phylogenetic tree construction method based on a sequence pattern mining algorithm. The phylogenetic tree construction method based on the sequence pattern mining algorithmcomprises the following steps: mining a specific pattern which is hidden in a sequence set and can be used for measuring sequence similarity to obtain an initial pattern set; filtering an unclosed frequent pattern in the initial patter set to acquire an optimized pattern set capable of representing the sequence set; and constructing a patter vector set and calculating the distance between numericvectors so as to construct a distance matrix for producing a phylogenetic tree. The sequence pattern which frequently appears in the sequence set is extracted by a sequence patter mining algorithm, the sequence set is converted into binary system by the filtered pattern set or the distance matrix is calculated in the form of giving weight information to the pattern vector set, and then the phylogenetic tree is constructed. For the large-scale and low-similarity sequence set, the more representative pattern in the sequence set can be mined by utilizing a pattern growth strategy, so that the extraction of a redundancy pattern which is useless for measuring sequence similarity is voided and measurement on the similarity among the sequences within the global range is optimized.

Methods for determining the genetic affinity of microorganisms and viruses

Selecting which sub-sequences in a database of nucleic acid such as 16S rRNA are highly characteristic of particular groupings of bacteria, microorganisms, fungi, etc. on a substantially phylogenetic tree. Also applicable to viruses comprising viral genomic RNA or DNA. A catalogue of highly characteristic sequences identified by this method is assembled to establish the genetic identity of an unknown organism. The characteristic sequences are used to design nucleic acid hybridization probes that include the characteristic sequence or its complement, or are derived from one or more characteristic sequences. A plurality of these characteristic sequences is used in hybridization to determine the phylogenetic tree position of the organism(s) in a sample. Those target organisms represented in the original sequence database and sufficient characteristic sequences can identify to the species or subspecies level. Oligonucleotide arrays of many probes are especially preferred. A hybridization signal can comprise fluorescence, chemiluminescence, or isotopic labeling, etc.; or sequences in a sample can be detected by direct means, e.g. mass spectrometry. The method's characteristic sequences can also be used to design specific PCR primers. The method uniquely identifies the phylogenetic affinity of an unknown organism without requiring prior knowledge of what is present in the sample. Even if the organism has not been previously encountered, the method still provides useful information about which phylogenetic tree bifurcation nodes encompass the organism.

Algorithm for modification of somatic cancer evolution

Most clinically distinguishable malignant tumors are characterized by specific mutations, specific patterns of chromosomal rearrangements and a predominant mechanism of genetic instability. It has been suggested that the internal dynamics of genomic modifications as opposed to the external evolutionary forces have a significant and complex impact on Darwinian species evolution. A similar situation can be expected for somatic cancer evolution as the key mechanisms encountered in species evolution such as duplications, rearrangements or deletions of genes also constitute prevalent mutation mechanisms in cancers with chromosomal instability. The invention is an algorithm which is based on a systems concept describing the putative constraints of the cancer genome architecture on somatic cancer evolution. The algorithm allows the identification of therapeutic target genes in individual cancer patients which do not represent oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes but have become putative therapeutic targets due to constraints of the cancer genome architecture on individual somatic cancer evolution. Target genes or regulatory elements may be identified by their designation as essential genes or regulatory elements in cancer cells of the patient but not in normal tissue cells or they may be identified by their impact on the process of somatic cancer evolution in individual patients based on phylogenetic trees of somatic cancer evolution and on the constructed multilayered cancer genome maps. The algorithm can be used for delivering personalized cancer therapy as well as for the industrial identification of novel anti-cancer drugs. The algorithm is essential for designing software programs which allow the prediction of the natural history of cancer disease in individual patients.
