The sperm or eggs of sexual organisms go through a series of cell divisions from the fertilized egg; mutations can occur at each division. For decades, little has been known about the pattern of the mutation rates along with the germline development. A large-scale mutation screening experiment of recessive lethal or nearly lethal mutations during the germline development of  Drosophila melanogaster males offers an opportunity to explore the issue. We developed a likelihood framework based on novel cell coalescent theory and analyzed the data.  it is found that for most nearly lethal mutations, the mutation rate at the first cell division is considerably higher than those at other divisions.

Growth phenotype profiling of genome-wide gene-deletion strains overstresses conditions can offer a clear picture that the essentiality of genes depends on environmental conditions. In this dissertation, we first demonstrate that detecting such "co-fit" gene groups can be cast as a less well-studied problem in biclustering, i.e., constant-column biclustering. Despite significant advances in biclustering techniques, very few were designed for mining in growth phenotype data.
