Lillo and S. Basile 25/06/03 Infmeeting, Genova June

6 Statistical modeling of non-coding DNA Biological role of Irs in bacteria Inverted repeats may form hairpin structures in mrna and play the role of Rho-independent transcription terminator 25/06/03 Infmeeting, Genova June
7 IRs might have regulatory function Example: In the presence of tryptophan, E. coli makes an RNA corresponding to about the 5' most 140 nt of trp operon mrna. In the absence of tryptophan, a full length RNA is made. 25/06/03 Infmeeting, Genova June

16 Are all this IRs transcription terminators? The set of IRs we find is bigger of the set of rho-independent transcription terminators found by Ermolaeva et al with bioinformatics methods based on biological information obtained from E. coli Ermolaeva M.D., Khalak H.G., White O., Smith H.O., Salzberg S.L., Prediction of transcription terminators in bacterial genomes, J.

18 IReD IReD is a large collection of inverted repeat DNA sequences. Information about the specific sequence, location and positioning with respect to nearby coding regions of each detected inverted repeat is provided. IReD makes use of completely sequenced genomes publicly available. The present release presents a large number of inverted repeats detected in complete genomes of 84 bacteria, 16 archaea and their plasmids. IReD allows searching and browsing inverted repeats in all investigated genomes. 25/06/03 Infmeeting, Genova June

23 Human-mouse genomes comparison The idea is to use the human-mouse most conserved DNA regions to select regions of the human genomes whose function may or may not be known There are highly conserved sequences both in coding and in noncoding regions 25/06/03 Infmeeting, Genova June

Lillo 25/06/03 Infmeeting, Genova June
26 p value Cumulative probability IRs in complete genomes of viruses Complete genomes of viruses (746) p value We perform a χ 2 test to evaluate if the number of detected IRs is compatible with the null hypothesis of Bernoullian DNA p-values are less than 0.05 in 67% of genomes 25/06/03 Infmeeting, Genova June
27 Conclusion DNon coding DNA sequences have interesting statistical properties in Bacteria, Eukaryotes and viruses; Dnoncoding DNA regions present a dishomogeneity in the density of information. Physicists can contribute to the dtection of this dishomogeneity to locate DNA sequences of potential biological importance. 25/06/03 Infmeeting, Genova June
