应用断点图简化纤毛虫基因模式
Reducibility of Gene Patterns in Ciliates using the Breakpoint Graph
摘要：
纤毛虫的基因组装是任何生物体中最重要的DNA加工之一。这个过程将一个细胞核（微核）转化为另一个功能不同的细胞核（大核）。我们继续基因组装的理论模型的发展，特别是我们展示了使用的断点图的概念，已知从DNA转化研究的另一个分支。更具体地说：（1）我们描述了在给定的微核基因模式向其大核形式转化过程中可能出现的中间基因模式;（2）我们确定了环重组操作的应用次数（完成基因组装的三种分子操作中最基本的）;（3）我们推广了以前的结果（并为一些证明提供了优雅的替代方案），这些结果涉及到可以使用这三种分子操作的特定子集组装的微核基因模式的特征。
英文摘要：
Gene assembly in ciliates is one of the most involved DNA processings going on in any organism. This process transforms one nucleus (the micronucleus) into another functionally different nucleus (the macronucleus). We continue the development of the theoretical models of gene assembly, and in particular we demonstrate the use of the concept of the breakpoint graph, known from another branch of DNA transformation research. More specifically: (1) we characterize the intermediate gene patterns that can occur during the transformation of a given micronuclear gene pattern to its macronuclear form; (2) we determine the number of applications of the loop recombination operation (the most basic of the three molecular operations that accomplish gene assembly) needed in this transformation; (3) we generalize previous results (and give elegant alternatives for some proofs) concerning characterizations of the micronuclear gene patterns that can be assembled using a specific subset of the three molecular operations.
