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.

RNA-seq

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...

Background:

The rapid growth of computational models in Systems Biology necessitates methods for organization and retrieval.
Researchers need tools to effectively search, explore, combine, and align these models with experimental data.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop general and flexible similarity measures for Systems Biology models based on semantic annotations.
To implement a platform for retrieving, clustering, and aligning Systems Biology models and experimental data sets.

Main Methods:

Computation of similarity measures from semantic annotations of Systems Biology models.
Utilization of a large, extensible ontology for model representation.
Development of a platform for model and data retrieval, clustering, and alignment.

Main Results:

A platform capable of searching the BioModels Database for relevant models using initial models, data sets, or biological concepts.
Semantic feature vectors representing models, enabling visualization, exploration, and statistical analysis of model collections.

Conclusions:

Proposed similarity measures and the developed platform enhance the accessibility and usability of Systems Biology models.
Semantic representation of models opens new avenues for large-scale analysis and discovery in Systems Biology.
