Inferring Ancestral Gene Orders for a Family of Tandemly Arrayed Genes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tandemly arrayed genes (TAG) constitute a large fraction of most genomes and play important biological roles. They evolve through unequal recombination, which places duplicated genes next to the original ones (tandem duplications). Many algorithms have been proposed to infer a tandem duplication history for a TAG cluster. However, the presence of different transcriptional orientations in many clusters highlights the fact that processes such as inversions also contribute to their evolution. Moreover, existing algorithms are restricted to the study of TAGs evolution in a single species (only paralogous genes are considered). To circumvent these limitations, we consider an evolutionary model for TAGs involving duplication, gene loss, inversion, and speciation events. A general framework to infer ancestral gene orders that minimize the number of inversions in the whole evolutionary history is presented. At the methodological level, this paper integrates three approaches to genome evolution: the duplication tree reconstruction, the gene tree/species tree reconciliation theory, and the concept of inversion median used in order-based phylogeny reconstruction. An application on a cluster of olfactory receptor genes in four mammals is presented.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
