Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

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.
Tagging and Fusion Proteins01:24

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

Proteins are involved in several cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Analyzing a specific protein of interest requires it to be isolated from the other proteins in the cell. This is achieved by overexpressing the specific gene in a suitable host to produce large quantities of the target protein. A tag or label is recombined with the gene to produce a fusion protein containing the target protein and the tag. The tags on these fusion proteins can then be used for easy detection and...
Phylogenetic Trees03:21

Phylogenetic Trees

Phylogenetic trees come in many forms. It matters in which sequence the organisms are arranged from the bottom to the top of the tree, but the branches can rotate at their nodes without altering the information. The lines connecting individual nodes can be straight, angled, or even curved.The length of the branches can depict time or the relative amount of change among organisms. For instance, the branch length might indicate the number of amino acid changes in the sequence that underlies the...
Synthetic Biology02:55

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Applications of Molecular Taxonomy01:20

Applications of Molecular Taxonomy

Molecular taxonomy has revolutionized the understanding and classification of bacteria, providing precise insights into their diversity, evolutionary relationships, and ecological roles. By utilizing molecular techniques such as DNA sequencing and fingerprinting, researchers have made significant strides in various fields related to bacterial studies.Resolving Taxonomic AmbiguitiesMolecular taxonomy has been instrumental in distinguishing closely related bacterial species initially thought to...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Semantic Technologies
  • Life Sciences

Background:

  • The Sealife project aimed to develop semantics-based web browsing for the Life Sciences.
  • It focused on linking significant terms in web pages to executable web services.
  • This involved semantic markup of biological terms and connection to biomedical ontologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a system for linking web page terms to relevant web services.
  • To enable semantic markup of biological terms for ontology linkage.
  • To facilitate discovery and execution of services based on user interests.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a system to identify terms of interest on web pages and connect them to web services.
  • Integrated Artificial Intelligence Planning for higher-level goal selection and workflow construction.
  • Implemented an Argumentation System to evaluate results from gene expression databases.

Main Results:

  • Users could identify terms and connect them to web services for task completion.
  • AI Planning facilitated the construction of complex workflows.
  • The Argumentation System proved useful for evaluating gene expression data.
  • Users with limited web service knowledge completed tasks significantly faster than manual methods.

Conclusions:

  • The Sealife system advances bioinformatics by integrating domain knowledge for workflow construction and result analysis.
