PhyloPro
PhyloPro performs phylogenetic profiling of user-defined gene subsets across 120 eukaryotic genomes to analyze evolutionary conservation and lineage-specific innovations.
Key Features:
- Extensive Genome Utilization: Leverages a collection of 120 eukaryotic genome sequences to generate comprehensive phylogenetic profiles.
- User-Defined Gene Subsets: Accepts user-specified subsets of genes from model organisms for targeted evolutionary analysis.
- Pathway and Complex Analysis: Analyzes pathways and protein complexes to identify core conserved elements and lineage-specific innovations.
- Visualization of Phylogenetic Profiles: Produces visual representations of phylogenetic profiles to support interpretation of evolutionary trajectories.
Scientific Applications:
- Comparative Evolutionary Studies: Enables comparison of gene presence–absence and conservation patterns across diverse eukaryotic lineages.
- Conserved Element Identification: Facilitates detection of conserved components within biological pathways and complexes.
- Lineage-Specific Innovation Analysis: Supports identification of lineage-specific gene gains, losses, or innovations across eukaryotes.
Methodology:
Integrates genomic data from 120 eukaryotic genomes and applies phylogenetic profiling and visualization to user-defined gene subsets to reveal conserved and divergent evolutionary patterns.
