Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

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...

Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features.

Sanger Sequencing

Sanger Sequencing

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Summary

A new software, VoSeq, simplifies managing molecular phylogenetic data. It provides a user-friendly interface for organizing DNA sequences and voucher specimens, aiding researchers in phylogenetic inference and data publication.

Area of Science:

Bioinformatics
Computational Biology
Molecular Phylogenetics

Background:

Increasing volume of molecular phylogenetic studies due to advancements in DNA sequencing technology.
Growing need for robust relational databases to manage diverse biological data, including DNA sequences, genes, and voucher specimens.
Lack of user-friendly, specialized tools for managing phylogenetic data hinders research workflow.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce VoSeq, a novel software application designed for efficient management of molecular phylogenetic data.
To provide researchers with an integrated solution for organizing sequence and voucher specimen data.
To facilitate the preparation of datasets for phylogenetic analysis and publication.

Main Methods:

Development of a relational database as the back-end for data storage.
