Classification of genes
Thesis: Genes can be divided into separate groups by various features and functions and this helps in analyzing the aging processes.
Types of classification itself
- Flat tree - all classes belong to the same level, no super classes and subclasses.
- Nested tree - several levels of hierarchy.
Nested tree example:
- Nuclear genes
- RNA genes
- rRNA genes
- tRNA genes
- miRNA genes
- Protein genes
- Protein type1 genes
- Protein type2 genes
- ...
- RNA genes
- Mitochondrial genes
Classifications
- By sequence similarity (Dayhoff, 1978)
- By protein function
- By location on chromosomes (suggested - denis.s)
- By localization in cell of the end protein (suggested - denis.s)
- By the end product - protein or RNA (suggested - denis.s)
