Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features.

RNA-seq

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...

Sanger Sequencing

Sanger Sequencing

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Sequences

Sequences

Sequences are fundamental mathematical objects consisting of ordered lists of numbers that follow a specific rule or pattern. Sequences are critical in various mathematical concepts, including calculus, series, and number theory. They can model real-world phenomena such as population growth, financial investments, and physical processes like the diminishing height of a bouncing ball.Each number in a sequence is referred to as a term. Typically, the terms are denoted as a1, a2, a3,…, where the...

Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors

Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors

Signal sequences are short amino acid sequences that guide newly synthesized proteins to their proper location within the cell. Classical signal sequences are fifteen to sixty amino acids long and present at the N-terminus of a polypeptide chain. Each signal sequence has a conserved segment of basic residues towards their N terminus, a hydrophobic core, and a C-terminus rich in polar residues. The C-terminus also contains a signal cleavage site and features a -3 -1 sequence motif. The -3-1...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Computational Neuroscience
Artificial Intelligence
Cognitive Science

Background:

Current artificial agents struggle to emulate the brain's efficient decoding of rapid sensory information, particularly in tasks like speech recognition.
Robust speech recognition is a key challenge for artificial intelligence, despite its relative ease for humans.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel Bayesian framework for simplifying sensory recognition using an internal generative model.
To demonstrate that a hierarchy of stable heteroclinic channels can serve as an effective internal model for environmental dynamics.
To develop a dynamic decoding scheme for online recognition with multi-timescale predictive power.

Main Methods:

Formulating an internal generative model within a Bayesian framework.
Utilizing a hierarchy of stable heteroclinic channels to model environmental sequences.
Implementing dynamic decoding for online recognition of synthetic syllable sequences (phonemes, sound-wave modulations).
Introducing anomalous stimuli to probe inference capabilities.

Main Results:

The proposed model simplifies recognition by representing continuous environmental dynamics as hierarchical sequences.
Online recognition corresponds to the dynamic decoding of causal sequences, yielding multi-timescale predictive representations.
Testing with synthetic data revealed inference at multiple timescales.
The observed recognition dynamics showed similarities to neuronal dynamics in the brain.

Conclusions:

A hierarchy of stable heteroclinic channels provides a plausible internal generative model for brain-like sensory processing.
This Bayesian approach offers a pathway to more robust and efficient artificial recognition systems.
The model's ability to disclose multi-timescale inference suggests its potential for advancing artificial intelligence and understanding neural computation.
