Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to obtain the fundamental properties of occurrence of genomic mutations so as to identify genomic changes that have led to adaptive evolution, i.e., genome adaptation, via finding significant deviations from the expectations calculated with the properties of the occurrence of mutations, we artificially introduced random double-strand breaks (DSBs) to the budding yeast genome and detected occurred mutations during repair of the DSBs by sequencing the whole genomes. In addition, we have computationally traced back genomic changes of natural human adenoviruses (HAdV), and it was suggested that HAdVs have changed via homologous recombination events between distant relatives. The statistical properties of this type of changes in HAdV indicate that the recombinant forms have been selected for adaptation.
