Evolutionary dynamics of selfish DNA generates pseudo-linguistic features of genomes
Michael Sheinman, Anna Ramisch, Florian Massip +1
Since the sequencing of large genomes, many statistical features of their sequences have been found. One intriguing feature is that certain subsequences are much more abundant than…
Statistical Properties of Pairwise Distances between Leaves on a Random Yule Tree
Michael Sheinman, Florian Massip, Peter F. Arndt
A Yule tree is the result of a branching process with constant birth and death rates. Such a process serves as an instructive null model of many empirical systems, for instance, th…
Substantial regional variation in substitution rates in the human genome: importance of GC content, gene density and telomere-specific effects
Peter F Arndt, Terence Hwa, Dmitri A Petrov
This study presents the first global, 1 Mbp level analysis of patterns of nucleotide substitutions along the human lineage. The study is based on the analysis of a large amount of…
Identification and Measurement of Neighbor Dependent Nucleotide Substitution Processes
Peter F. Arndt, Terence Hwa
The presence of neighbor dependencies generated a specific pattern of dinucleotide frequencies in all organisms. Especially, the CpG-methylation-deamination process is the predomin…
A Solvable Sequence Evolution Model and Genomic Correlations
Philipp W. Messer, Peter F. Arndt, Michael Lässig
We study a minimal model for genome evolution whose elementary processes are single site mutation, duplication and deletion of sequence regions and insertion of random segments. Th…
Distinct changes of genomic biases in nucleotide substitution at the time of mammalian radiation
Peter F. Arndt, Dmitri A. Petrov, Terence Hwa
Differences in the regional substitution patterns in the human genome created patterns of large-scale variation of base composition known as genomic isochores. To gain insight into…
