Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

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...

Ribosome Profiling

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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Area of Science:

Genomics
Bioinformatics
Computational Biology

Background:

Identifying dispersed repetitive elements is challenging, particularly novel ones lacking homology to known sequences.
Ab initio computational tools are crucial for discovering repetitive elements without relying on prior sequence data.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate and compare the performance of six widely used ab initio repeat finding programs.
To assess tools based on time, accuracy in finding known and novel repeats, and classification of repeat families.

Main Methods:

Side-by-side comparison of six ab initio repeat finding tools.
Utilized sequence data from rice chromosome 12 for evaluation.
Assessed metrics including computational time, repeat identification accuracy, and family description compactness.

Main Results:

Significant variations observed in tool performance, ranging from overestimation to underestimation of repetitive elements.
Tools differed substantially in the types and number of repeat families identified, even when recognizing similar repeat quantities.
ReAS and RepeatScout emerged as the most promising tools for analyzing sequence reads and assembled genomic regions, respectively.

Conclusions:

The choice of ab initio repeat finding tool significantly impacts the accuracy and scope of repetitive element identification.
Biologists should carefully select tools based on their specific research needs and the type of genomic data being analyzed.
ReAS and RepeatScout offer valuable capabilities for different stages of repetitive element discovery in genomic research.
