Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

21.1K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Root-Locus Method01:19

Root-Locus Method

519
A cruise control system in a car is designed to maintain a specified speed automatically by adjusting the gas pedal. The system continuously measures the vehicle's speed and makes fine adjustments to the pedal to achieve this goal. The root locus method is particularly useful for understanding how the cruise control system's behavior changes under varying conditions, such as when the car goes uphill, downhill, or faces strong wind resistance.
This system can be represented by a block...

Centrosome Duplication02:25

Centrosome Duplication

5.0K
The primary microtubule organizing center (MTOC) in animal cells is the centrosome. A centrosome has two cylindrical centrioles at its core. Each centriole consists of nine sets of three microtubules held together by proteins. The centrioles are positioned at right angles to each other and surrounded by a shapeless protein cloud called the pericentriolar matrix, or pericentriolar material (PCM).
To ensure that each daughter cell receives a centrosome after cell division, centrosome duplication...

Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

8.0K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes03:21

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

9.2K
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.

Genomics02:02

Genomics

40.8K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

  • Genomics
  • Plant Biology
  • Molecular Genetics

Background:

  • Polyploidy, common in plants, presents challenges for chromosome analysis and genome assembly.
  • Existing methods for identifying DNA landmarks in BAC libraries lack locus specificity, especially in polyploid genomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a scalable and reliable method for locus-specific BAC clone identification in polyploid plants.
  • To provide an alternative to radiation hybrid mapping for DNA locus mapping in taxa lacking such resources.

Main Methods:

  • A restriction fragment matching (BAC-RF) method was developed using pooled BAC DNA and dot-blot hybridization.
  • This method was applied to identify locus-specific BAC clones corresponding to multi-locus DNA probes.

Main Results:

  • The BAC-RF method efficiently distinguishes between allelic and non-allelic loci in polyploid genomes.
  • It enables the anchoring of sequence-ready BAC contigs in highly-duplicated genomes.
  • Provides an alternative to high-density robotic gridding for BAC library screening.

Conclusions:

  • The BAC-RF method is a practical and reliable approach for genetic and evolutionary investigations in polyploid plants.
  • It facilitates the isolation of individual members of multigene or repetitive DNA families.
  • This method offers advantages for genome research in crops and other plant taxa with complex genomes.
