Evolution of proteins and proteomes: a phylogenetics approach

摘要: The study of evolutionary relationships among protein sequences was one the first applications bioinformatics. Since then, and accompanying wealth biological data produced by genome sequencing other high-throughput techniques, use bioinformatics in general phylogenetics particular has been gaining ground proteome evolution. Nowadays, is instrumental not only to infer species their sequences, but also reconstruct ancestral states proteins proteomes hence trace paths followed Here I survey recent progress elucidation mechanisms evolution which played a determinant role.
