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...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

DNA Microarrays

DNA Microarrays

Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

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%...

Background:

Affymetrix microarrays are crucial for genome-wide gene expression and genetic polymorphism prediction.
Integrating these predictions using only RNA microarray data presents significant statistical challenges.
Existing methods for detecting single feature polymorphisms (SFPs) from RNA data are susceptible to gene expression variations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust statistical method for accurate SFP detection from Affymetrix gene expression data.
To differentiate between true sequence polymorphisms and gene expression changes.
To provide advanced analytical tools for genomicists and biostatisticians.

Main Methods:

Developed a novel statistical method to decouple transcript abundance from probe binding affinity using Affymetrix data.
Implemented a Bayesian approach for SFP detection and genotyping.
Validated the method on three Affymetrix microarray datasets.

Main Results:

The proposed method significantly improves the robustness and accuracy of SFP detection compared to existing approaches.
Successfully distinguishes genuine sequence polymorphisms from differentially expressed genes.
Demonstrated superior performance in identifying true SFPs across multiple datasets.

Conclusions:

The novel Bayesian method offers a more reliable way to detect single feature polymorphisms using RNA microarray data.
This approach enhances the utility of microarrays for genetic studies in both sequenced and unsequenced species.
Provides crucial analytical advancements for interpreting Affymetrix microarray data in genomics research.
