Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

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.

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines01:24

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...
Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors01:41

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...
Mass Spectrometry: Complex Analysis01:21

Mass Spectrometry: Complex Analysis

Mass spectrometry is an important technique for the identification of pure compounds. However, it has some limitations for the analysis of complex mixtures, often due to excessive fragmentation making the spectrum too complicated to decipher. Mass spectrometry can be combined with suitable separation methods in sequence, forming hyphenated methods, which are useful in the analysis of complex mixtures.
GC–MS is a powerful hyphenated method commonly used in forensics and environmental...
Sequences01:29

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...
Introduction to Sequences01:26

Introduction to Sequences

The ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea proposed a series of paradoxes to challenge prevailing notions of motion and continuity. One such paradox imagines a man walking toward a door but only ever covering half the remaining distance with each step. This sequence of movements—first one-half, then one-quarter, then one-eighth of the total distance, and so on—forms a mathematical concept known as a geometric sequence. Each term is half of the previous one and can be written...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • Protein sequences often contain regions with varied evolutionary histories due to processes like domain shuffling.
  • Existing methods for analyzing these complex evolutionary patterns can be time-consuming.
  • Novel approaches are needed to efficiently discover and visualize sequence relationships for better understanding of protein evolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel alignment-free and visual framework for analyzing protein sequence relationships.
  • To enable the identification and visualization of evolutionary patterns, such as domain shuffling and homology clusters.
  • To provide a rapid method for initial analysis of divergent protein sequences.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized shared n-grams as a measure of sequence similarity.
  • Applied spectral techniques to rearrange the affinity matrix.
  • Employed heat maps, n-gram-based dot plots, and conservation profiles for visualization and analysis.

Main Results:

  • Successfully identified signatures of domain shuffling in a poorly characterized protein family.
  • Detected homology clusters within another protein family.
  • Demonstrated the effectiveness of the visual and alignment-free approach in analyzing sequence relationships.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework offers a generally useful approach for analyzing related yet highly divergent protein sequences.
  • This method serves as a fast preliminary analysis tool, preceding more intensive multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses.
  • The MOSAIC software implementation is available for researchers to apply this framework.
