Technical signs of progress during the last decades has led to a situation in which the accumulation of genome sequence data is increasingly fast and cheap. The huge amount of molecular data available nowadays can help addressing new and essential questions in Evolution. However, reconstructing evolution of DNA sequences requires models, algorithms, statistical and computational methods of ever increasing complexity. Since most dramatic genomic changes are caused by genome rearrangements (gene duplications, gain/loss events), it becomes crucial to understand their mechanisms and reconstruct ancestors of the given genomes. This problem is known to be NP-complete even in the simplest case of three genomes. Heuristic algorithms are usually executed to provide approximations of the exact solution. We state that, even if the ancestral reconstruction problem is NP-hard in theory, its exact resolution is feasible in various situations, encompassing organelles and some bacteria. Such accurate reconstruction, which identifies too some highly homoplasic mutations whose ancestral status is undecidable, will be initiated in this work-in-progress, to reconstruct ancestral genomes of two Mycobacterium pathogenetic bacterias. By mixing automatic reconstruction of obvious situations with human interventions on signaled problematic cases, we will indicate that it should be possible to achieve a concrete, complete, and really accurate reconstruction of lineages of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Thus, it is possible to investigate how these genomes have evolved from their last common ancestors.
We sequenced genomes from a $sim$7,000 year old early farmer from Stuttgart in Germany, an $sim$8,000 year old hunter-gatherer from Luxembourg, and seven $sim$8,000 year old hunter-gatherers from southern Sweden. We analyzed these data together with
We show, that the specific distribution of genes length, which is observed in natural genomes, might be a result of a growth process, in which a single length scale $L(t)$ develops that grows with time as $t^{1/3}$. This length scale could be associa
Microbes are essentially yet convolutedly linked with human lives on the earth. They critically interfere in different physiological processes and thus influence overall health status. Studying microbial species is used to be constrained to those tha
We have simulated the evolution of sexually reproducing populations composed of individuals represented by diploid genomes. A series of eight bits formed an allele occupying one of 128 loci of one haploid genome (chromosome). The environment required
As genome sequencing tools and techniques improve, researchers are able to incrementally assemble more accurate reference genomes, which enable sensitivity in read mapping and downstream analysis such as variant calling. A more sensitive downstream a
