The non-degenerate Dupin cyclides in the space of spheres using Geometric Algebra

2012

International audience; Dupin cyclides are algebraic surfaces of degree 4 discovered by the French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin early in the 19th century and \textcolor{black}{were} introduced in CAD by R. Martin in 1982. A Dupin cyclide can be defined, in two different ways, as the envelope of a one-parameter family of oriented spheres. So, it is very interesting to model the Dupin cyclides in the space of spheres, space wherein each family of spheres can be seen as a conic curve. In this paper, we model the non-degenerate Dupin cyclides and the space of spheres using Conformal Geometric Algebra. This new approach permits us to benefit from the advantages of the use of Geometric Alge…

Whole mirror duplication-random loss model and pattern avoiding permutations

2010

International audience; In this paper we study the problem of the whole mirror duplication-random loss model in terms of pattern avoiding permutations. We prove that the class of permutations obtained with this model after a given number p of duplications of the identity is the class of permutations avoiding the alternating permutations of length p2+1. We also compute the number of duplications necessary and sufficient to obtain any permutation of length n. We provide two efficient algorithms to reconstitute a possible scenario of whole mirror duplications from identity to any permutation of length n. One of them uses the well-known binary reflected Gray code (Gray, 1953). Other relative mo…

The underlying processes governing seed size plasticity: Impact of endoploidy on seed coat development and cell expansion in Medicago truncatula

2019

Prod 2019-55a BAP GEAPSI CT1 BAP; Abstract Bigger seeds represent an agronomic and economic benefit but the breeding and ecological balance between seed size and number is difficult to find. Large seeds associated with other practices can improve crop competitiveness as they are more vigorous and result in healthier crops with higher yields, even under stressful conditions. Applying genomic research and genome-wide association studies to breeding is generating new strategies to improve seed traits and novel insights into the biology of seed development and metabolism that are discussed in this chapter. The DNA amount differs among the seed tissues and amplifying genomic DNA by endocycle ind…

Etudes d'objets combinatoires : applications à la bio-informatique

2011

This thesis considers classes of combinatorial objects that model data in bioinformatics. We have studied two methods of mutation of genes within the genome : duplication and inversion. At first,we study the problem of the whole mirror duplication-random lossmodel in terms of pattern avoiding permutations. We prove that the class of permutations obtained with this method after p duplications from the identity is the class of permutations avoiding alternating permutations of length 2p + 1.We also enumerate the number of duplications that are necessary and sufficient to obtain any permutation of length n from the identity. We also suggest two efficient algorithms to reconstruct two different …

Population Structure and Comparative Genome Hybridization of European Flor Yeast Reveal a Unique Group of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains with Few G…

2014

Wine biological aging is a wine making process used to produce specific beverages in several countries in Europe, including Spain, Italy, France, and Hungary. This process involves the formation of a velum at the surface of the wine. Here, we present the first large scale comparison of all European flor strains involved in this process. We inferred the population structure of these European flor strains from their microsatellite genotype diversity and analyzed their ploidy. We show that almost all of these flor strains belong to the same cluster and are diploid, except for a few Spanish strains. Comparison of the array hybridization profile of six flor strains originating from these four co…

Neuroglobin, cytoglobin, and a novel, eye-specific globin from chicken

2004

Neuroglobin and cytoglobin are two recently discovered respiratory proteins of vertebrates. Here we report the first identification and expression analyses of these proteins in bird species. Neuroglobin from the domestic chicken Gallus gallus differs in approximately 30% from the mammalian proteins, but its genome structure shows the conservation of the B12.2, E11.0, and G7.0 intron positions. The chicken cytoglobin protein is shorter than the mammalian orthologs, from which it differs overall by approximately 25%, due to the absence of the C-terminal exon in the gene. Comparison of chicken and mammalian gene order shows that neuroglobin and cytoglobin are located on conserved syntenic chro…

Duplicated cytoglobin genes in teleost fishes

2005

Cytoglobin is a recently discovered myoglobin-related O2-binding protein of vertebrates with uncertain function. It occurs as single-copy gene in mammals. Here, we demonstrate the presence of two paralogous cytoglobin genes (Cygb-1 and Cygb-2) in the teleost fishes Danio rerio, Oryzias latipes, Tetraodon nigroviridis, and Takifugu rubripes. The globin-typical introns at positions B12.2 and G7.0 are conserved in both genes, whereas the C-terminal exon found in mammalian cytoglobin is absent in the fish genes. Phylogenetic analyses show that the two cytoglobin genes diverged early in teleost evolution. This is confirmed by gene synteny analyses, which suggest a large-scale duplication event. …
