Genome Annotation and Assembly

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.

Structural Classification of Joints

Structural Classification of Joints

Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

Molecular Models

Molecular Models

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

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...

¹H NMR Signal Integration: Overview

¹H NMR Signal Integration: Overview

The intensity of a signal, which can be represented by the area under the peak, depends on the number of protons contributing to that signal. The area under each peak is shown as a vertical line called an integral, with the integral value listed under it, as seen in the proton NMR spectrum of benzyl acetate. Each integral value is divided by the smallest integral value to obtain the ratio of the number of protons producing each signal. The ratio reveals the relative number of protons and not...

Schemata

Schemata

A schema is a mental construct that organizes related concepts, allowing the brain to process information efficiently. Upon activation, schemata facilitate assumptions about people or objects.
Two types of schemata are:

Background:

Manual annotation of Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) models is time-consuming and complex due to numerous data sources and formats.
Efficient retrieval and integration of biological knowledge are crucial for accurate model annotation.
Current methods often require significant manual effort, hindering rapid model development.

Purpose of the Study:

To present rule-based mediation, a novel method for semantic data integration.
To demonstrate the application of rule-based mediation for automated SBML model annotation.
To reduce the manual effort and improve the precision of biological knowledge integration for SBML models.

Main Methods:

Rule-based mediation converts heterogeneous data sources into ontologies.
Ontologies are aligned to a domain ontology using a rule base.
Off-the-shelf semantic web technologies are employed for implementation.

Main Results:

Proof-of-principle demonstrated through two use cases for SBML model annotation.
Successful integration of multiple data formats with diverse semantics.
Generation of richly-modelled biological knowledge suitable for SBML annotation.

Conclusions:

Rule-based mediation facilitates the integration of diverse biological resources.
The method provides a feasible approach for automated SBML model annotation.
This approach enhances the usability and reduces development time for systems biology models.
