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.

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...

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...

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...

Area of Science:

Genomics and Genetics
Systems Biology
Computational Biology

Background:

Understanding complex traits requires linking genetic variation to gene expression changes.
Current methods often struggle to integrate these two data types effectively.
Identifying the genomic underpinnings of expression variation in complex traits remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a computational framework for integrating gene expression and genotype data.
To identify biological pathways associated with complex traits by considering both genetic and expression variations.
To analyze differences between estrogen receptor (ER) positive and negative breast cancer subtypes.

Main Methods:

Developed a framework integrating gene expression and genotype data.
Utilized pathway analysis and multi-task learning for predictive modeling.
Simulated data to test framework performance and pathway discovery capabilities.
Applied the framework to ER-positive and ER-negative breast cancer data.

Main Results:

The multi-task learning model showed predictive performance comparable to existing methods.
The framework successfully identified pathways with both genetic and expression differences related to the phenotype.
Analysis of breast cancer samples revealed top pathways related to estrogen, steroids, cell signaling, and cell cycle.

Conclusions:

The developed framework provides valuable biological pathway knowledge for complex traits.
While not enhancing predictive accuracy, multi-task learning aids in discovering biologically relevant pathways.
The findings highlight the importance of integrating multi-omics data for understanding complex trait genetics.
