What is Gene Expression?

What is Gene Expression?

Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

What is Gene Expression?

What is Gene Expression?

A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is comprised of nucleotides and proteins are comprised of amino acids, a mediator is required to convert the information encoded in DNA into proteins. This mediator is the messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA copies the blueprint from DNA by a process called transcription. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus by complementary base-pairing with the DNA template. The mRNA is then processed and...

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...

Geometric Mean

Geometric Mean

The mean is a measure of the central tendency of a data set. In some data sets, the data is inherently multiplicative, and the arithmetic mean is not useful. For example, the human population multiplies with time, and so does the credit amount of financial investment, as the interest compounds over successive time intervals.
In cases of multiplicative data, the geometric mean is used for statistical analysis. First, the product of all the elements is taken. Then, if there are n elements in the...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Bioinformatics
Computational Biology

Background:

Following mouse genome sequencing, methods to map gene protein synthesis (expression) have been developed.
Large-scale generation of 2D cross-sectional images of gene expression patterns in the mouse brain is ongoing.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a geometric database structure for organizing and searching mouse brain gene expression data.
To introduce an anatomical atlas as a central component for partitioning the mouse brain.

Main Methods:

Development of a geometric database for mouse brain gene expression data.
Representation of the anatomical atlas using a Catmull-Clark subdivision mesh with B-spline crease curves.
Deformation of the atlas onto gene expression images using subdivision surface fitting techniques.

Main Results:

The database effectively organizes and allows searching of gene expression data.
The anatomical partitioning enables region-specific comparisons of gene expression.
The multi-resolution mesh structure facilitates efficient query processing.

Conclusions:

The developed geometric database provides a robust framework for managing and analyzing complex mouse brain gene expression datasets.
The atlas-based partitioning and efficient querying capabilities support comparative analyses across genes and anatomical regions.
