It has been developed as a web server that integrates a suite of different tools selected among the most popular stand-alone programs in phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis. It has been conceived as a natural response to the increasing demand of data analysis of many experimental scientists wishing to add a molecular evolution and phylogenetics insight into their research. Tools included in Phylemon cover a wide yet selected range of programs: from the most basic for multiple sequence alignment to elaborate statistical methods of phylogenetic reconstruction including methods for evolutionary rates analyses and molecular adaptation. Phylemon has several features that differentiates it from other resources: (i) It offers an integrated environment that enables the direct concatenation of evolutionary analyses, the storage of results and handles required data format conversions, (ii) Once an outfile is produced, Phylemon suggests the next possible analyses, thus guiding the user and facilitating the integration of multi-step analyses, and (iii) users can define and save complete pipelines for specific phylogenetic analysis to be automatically used on many genes in subsequent sessions or multiple genes in a single session (phylogenomics). The Phylemon web server is available at http://phylemon.bioinfo.cipf.es.10aAnimals Computational Biology/*methods Databases10aDNA Sequence Analysis10aGenetic Evolution10aMolecular Genetic Techniques Humans *Internet Models10aProtein Software User-Computer Interface10aStatistical *Phylogeny Programming Languages Sequence Alignment Sequence Analysis1 aTarraga, J.1 aMedina, Ignacio1 aArbiza, L.1 aHuerta-Cepas, J.1 aGabaldón, T.1 aDopazo, J.1 aDopazo, H.  uhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=1745234602542nas a2200181   4500008004100000245010000041210006900141300000800210490000600218520184100224653001502065653004302080653008602123100001502209700001502224700001502239856010602254       2006                        eng d00aPositive selection, relaxation, and acceleration in the evolution of the human and chimp genome0 aPositive selection relaxation and acceleration in the evolution   ae380 v23 aFor years evolutionary biologists have been interested in searching for the genetic bases underlying humanness. Recent efforts at a large or a complete genomic scale have been conducted to search for positively selected genes in human and in chimp. However, recently developed methods allowing for a more sensitive and controlled approach in the detection of positive selection can be employed. Here, using 13,198 genes, we have deduced the sets of genes involved in rate acceleration, positive selection, and relaxation of selective constraints in human, in chimp, and in their ancestral lineage since the divergence from murids. Significant deviations from the strict molecular clock were observed in 469 human and in 651 chimp genes. The more stringent branch-site test of positive selection detected 108 human and 577 chimp positively selected genes. An important proportion of the positively selected genes did not show a significant acceleration in rates, and similarly, many of the accelerated genes did not show significant signals of positive selection. Functional differentiation of genes under rate acceleration, positive selection, and relaxation was not statistically significant between human and chimp with the exception of terms related to G-protein coupled receptors and sensory perception. Both of these were over-represented under relaxation in human in relation to chimp. Comparing differences between derived and ancestral lineages, a more conspicuous change in trends seems to have favored positive selection in the human lineage. Since most of the positively selected genes are different under the same functional categories between these species, we suggest that the individual roles of the alternative positively selected genes may be an important factor underlying biological differences between these species.10aAdaptation10aBiological/genetics Animals *Evolution10aMolecular Genome/*genetics Humans Pan troglodytes/*genetics *Selection (Genetics)1 aArbiza, L.1 aDopazo, J.1 aDopazo, H.  uhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=1668301901783nas a2200253   4500008004100000245010200041210006900143300001100212490000700223520089100230653004301121653008001164653002701244653005601271100001401327700002301341700001501364700001501379700001601394700001701410700002001427700001501447856006701462       2006                        eng d00aPupaSuite: finding functional single nucleotide polymorphisms for large-scale genotyping purposes0 aPupaSuite finding functional single nucleotide polymorphisms for  aW621-50 v343 a<p>We have developed a web tool, PupaSuite, for the selection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with potential phenotypic effect, specifically oriented to help in the design of large-scale genotyping projects. PupaSuite uses a collection of data on SNPs from heterogeneous sources and a large number of pre-calculated predictions to offer a flexible and intuitive interface for selecting an optimal set of SNPs. It improves the functionality of PupaSNP and PupasView programs and implements new facilities such as the analysis of user’s data to derive haplotypes with functional information. A new estimator of putative effect of polymorphisms has been included that uses evolutionary information. Also SNPeffect database predictions have been included.
