Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...
RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while microarray-based...
Experimental RNAi02:15

Experimental RNAi

RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing its transcription or activating the RNA degradation process. The mechanism was discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello in 1998 in plants. Today, it is observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals. This precise cellular mechanism of gene silencing has been developed into a technique that provides an efficient way to identify and determine the...
Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique helps...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) genes lack strong statistical signals, making their computational identification challenging.
  • Existing gene-finding tools struggle with reliable detection of ncRNA genes.
  • Protein-coding genes exhibit distinct substitution patterns compared to ncRNAs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust computational algorithm for identifying novel structural noncoding RNA genes.
  • To differentiate RNA genes from protein-coding genes and random sequences using comparative analysis.
  • To provide a reliable genefinder for structural ncRNAs.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a comparative sequence analysis algorithm based on pairwise sequence alignment.
  • Utilized three probabilistic 'pair-grammars': a pair stochastic context-free grammar for RNA evolution and two pair hidden Markov models for coding and null evolution.
  • Classified alignments into coding, RNA, or null categories based on posterior probabilities.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm detects conserved structural RNA genes by identifying compensatory mutations indicative of secondary structure.
  • Distinguishes RNA gene evolution patterns from synonymous substitutions in coding regions.
  • Successfully classifies sequence alignments based on evolutionary constraints.

Conclusions:

  • Implemented the approach as a program named QRNA, serving as a prototype structural noncoding RNA genefinder.
  • QRNA demonstrates a fair degree of reliability in detecting noncoding RNA genes.
  • This method offers a promising advancement in the field of ncRNA gene discovery.
