Chloroplast Genome Yields Unusual Seven-Cluster Structure C

TL;DR

This study reveals a unique seven-cluster structure in the Siberian larch chloroplast genome, with a novel composition of coding and non-coding regions, identified using elastic map clustering in high-dimensional space.

Contribution

It introduces a new analysis of chloroplast genome structuredness, highlighting a different cluster composition from previous studies using elastic map techniques.

Findings

Seven-cluster structure confirmed in the genome

Distinct composition of coding and non-coding regions in clusters

Different from previously reported cluster arrangements

Abstract

We studied the structuredness in a chloroplast genome of Siberian larch. The clusters in 63-dimensional space were identified with elastic map technique, where the objects to be clusterized are the different fragments of the genome. A seven-cluster structure in the distribution of those fragments reported previously has been found. Unlike the previous results, we have found the drastically other composition of the clusters comprising the fragments extracted from coding and non-coding regions of the genome.
