Temporal data series of COVID-19 epidemics in the USA, Asia and Europe suggests a selective sweep of SARS-CoV-2 Spike D614G variant
Taima N. Furuyama, Fernando Antoneli, Isabel M. V. G. Carvalho +2
The COVID-19 pandemic started in Wuhan, China, and caused the worldwide spread of the RNA virus SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. Because of its mutational rate, wide ge…
PGA: A Program for Genome Annotation by Comparative Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Phylogenies of Genes and Species
Paulo Bandiera-Paiva, Marcelo R. S. Briones
The Phylogenetic Genome Annotator (PGA) is a computer program that enables real-time comparison of 'gene trees' versus 'species trees' obtained from predicted open reading frames o…
G-protein coupled receptor subfamily identification using phylogenetic comparison of gene and species trees
Paulo Bandiera-Paiva, Jackson C. Lima, Marcelo R. S. Briones
Most approaches to prediction of protein function from primary structure are based on similarity between the query sequence and sequences of known function. This approach, however,…
Examining marginal sequence similarities between bacterial type III secretion system and Trypanosoma cruzi surface proteins: Horizontal gene transfer or convergent evolution?
Danielle C. F. Silva, Richard C. Silva, Renata C. Ferreira +1
The cell invasion mechanism of Trypanosoma cruzi has similarities with some intracellular bacterial taxa especially regarding calcium mobilization. This mechanism is not observed i…
Neutral and Stable Equilibria of Genetic Systems and The Hardy-Weinberg Principle: Limitations of the Chi-Square Test and Advantages of Auto-Correlation Functions of Allele Frequencies
Francisco Bosco, Diogo Castro, Marcelo R. S. Briones
Since the foundations of Population Genetics the notion of genetic equilibrium (in close analogy to Classical Mechanics) has been associated to the Hardy-Weinberg (HW) Principle an…
