Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

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...
Sanger Sequencing01:57

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...
Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

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.
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...
Long-patch Base Excision Repair01:02

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have increased the need for efficient pairwise sequence alignment.
  • Re-sequencing applications require aligning short reads to a reference genome, often involving low-quality data.
  • A key challenge is aligning remaining read segments to reference sequences with mismatches and single gaps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce GapMis, a novel tool for pairwise sequence alignment.
  • To address the specific challenge of sequence alignment with a single gap and mismatches.
  • To provide an efficient solution for re-sequencing tasks in bioinformatics.

Main Methods:

  • GapMis utilizes a modified dynamic programming approach.
  • The algorithm computes a unique version of the traditional dynamic programming matrix.
  • This method is specifically designed for pairwise sequence alignment with a single gap allowance.

Main Results:

  • Experimental results show GapMis is highly suitable for its intended task.
  • GapMis demonstrates superior efficiency compared to existing popular alignment tools.
