Genomics

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Aging

Aging

Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

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...

Background:

Aging is a complex biological process requiring interdisciplinary research.
Understanding aging-related genes is crucial for developing preventive strategies.
A centralized resource for aging gene data and analysis is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a comprehensive database and analysis platform for aging-related genes.
To facilitate basic research on the molecular mechanisms of aging.

Main Methods:

Integrated aging-related genes and annotation data into a web-based database.
Categorized genes using Gene Ontology (GO) terms.
Developed analysis pipelines for promoter analysis and protein-ligand docking.

Main Results:

Created Gerontome, a user-friendly web server for aging-related gene information.
The platform includes pipelines for investigating age-dependent gene regulation and protein-ligand interactions.
Aging-related genes are categorized using Gene Ontology (GO) for structured analysis.

Conclusions:

Gerontome offers web interfaces for querying and browsing comprehensive aging-related gene data.
The platform provides integrated analysis tools to support aging research.
Gerontome is freely accessible at http://gerontome.kobic.re.kr.
