RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while microarray-based...
Multi-species Conserved Sequences02:51

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved DNA...
Ribosome Profiling02:24

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...

Summary

This study introduces Cofolga2mo, a new tool for RNA sequence alignment using multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGA). It provides comparable alignment results to existing methods while being more efficient.

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • The biological functions of non-coding RNAs are increasingly recognized, heightening the need for accurate RNA sequence alignment.
  • Current RNA alignment methods treat sequence similarity and secondary structure as a single objective, often failing to optimize both simultaneously due to inherent trade-offs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the application of multi-objective optimization to the structural RNA sequence alignment problem.
  • To develop and evaluate a novel multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) for pairwise RNA sequence alignment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of Cofolga2mo, a pairwise RNA sequence alignment program utilizing a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA).
  • Testing Cofolga2mo on a benchmark dataset comprising RNA sequence pairs with varying sequence identities.

Main Results:

  • Cofolga2mo generated an approximate set of weak Pareto optimal solutions, yielding up to 100 alignments per sequence pair.
  • The alignments produced by Cofolga2mo demonstrated benchmark results comparable to state-of-the-art mono-objective RNA alignment algorithms.
  • Cofolga2mo exhibited superior efficiency in terms of both time and memory usage compared to existing methods.

Conclusions:

  • Multi-objective optimization, specifically using MOGA, is a viable approach for structural RNA sequence alignment.
  • Cofolga2mo offers an efficient and effective alternative for RNA sequence alignment, balancing sequence similarity and structural information.
  • The Cofolga2mo software is publicly available for researchers in the field.
