Summary
This study integrates genomic imaging with ontological standards for diagnosing and treating genetic disorders. The framework resolves imaging data heterogeneity and integrates structural genomic information with clinical data.
Area of Science:
- Bioinformatics
- Genomic Imaging
- Translational Medicine
Background:
- Translational bioinformatics requires integrated frameworks for clinical applications.
- Genomic imaging offers high-resolution data for diagnosing genetic disorders.
- Existing ontological standards present challenges in data integration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an integrated framework for translational bioinformatics using genomic imaging.
- To address the heterogeneity of bioimaging data in clinical applications.
- To fuse multiple ontological standards for enhanced data integration.
Main Methods:
- Developed novel image processing techniques for genomic imaging data.
- Integrated Gene Ontology (GO), Clinical Bioinformatics Ontology (CBO), Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), and Microarray Gene Expression Data Ontology (MGED).
- Utilized an ontological framework to resolve imaging data heterogeneity.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated that imaging data heterogeneity can be resolved at different ontological levels.
- Successfully integrated structural genomic information with textual clinical data.
- Established a framework for improved diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders.
Conclusions:
- The integrated framework effectively resolves bioimaging data heterogeneity.
- Structural genomic information can be readily incorporated into clinical information bases.

02:02Genomics
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...
01:29Translational Regulation
Translational regulation in prokaryotes ensures efficient protein synthesis by controlling ribosome access to mRNA. This regulation is mediated by secondary RNA structures, including translational riboswitches, RNA thermometers, and small RNAs (sRNAs), which respond to intracellular and environmental signals to modulate gene expression.Translational RiboswitchesRiboswitches in the leader region of mRNAs can regulate translation by altering the accessibility of the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence,...
02:24Ribosome 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.

01:33Proteomics
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term proteomics...

01:20Cotranslational Protein Translocation
Translocation of proteins across membranes is an ancient process that occurs even in bacteria and archaebacteria. In fact, the components of the translocation machinery are still conserved between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
