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...

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...

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the addition of a...

Area of Science:

Genomics
Bioinformatics
Statistical Genetics

Background:

Microarray experiments often yield false positives due to transcriptomic background differences.
Existing methods struggle with variations in cell types, cell cycle, and biological donors.
These background differences reduce the biological and medical significance of identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a statistical framework for identifying DEGs in microarray data that accounts for transcriptomic background differences.
To introduce a modified null hypothesis allowing for normally distributed gene expression background differences.
To improve the reliability and biological significance of DEG identification.

Main Methods:

Proposed a statistical framework with a modified null hypothesis for DEG identification.
Employed an iterative procedure for robust estimation of the null hypothesis.
Identified DEGs as outliers from the estimated null distribution.

Main Results:

The method demonstrated reduced false positives and false negatives compared to traditional methods, validated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Achieved better reproducibility across different microarray platforms (intra- and inter-platform concordance).
Efficiently identified DEGs with minimal microarray replicates, addressing the power-cost tradeoff.

Conclusions:

The proposed method identifies more reliable and biologically significant DEGs.
It enhances reproducibility and reduces false discovery rates in microarray analysis.
This approach offers a more robust solution for DEG analysis in the presence of background variations.
