Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Prokaryotic Gene Structure and Organization01:28

Prokaryotic Gene Structure and Organization

Prokaryotic genomes exhibit a streamlined organization of coding and non-coding regions essential for gene expression and protein synthesis. While coding regions contain the genetic instructions for proteins or functional RNAs, non-coding regions regulate the precise transcription and translation of these genes.Coding Regions: Proteins and RNAsThe primary coding regions, known as structural genes, include sequences transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and ultimately translated into...
Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome 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.
The technique helps...
Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.
Challenges of the Maxam-Gilbert Method

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Epigenetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • CpG sites within coding exons can be unmethylated, indicating dual genomic and epigenomic constraints on codons.
  • Identifying coding CpG islands (CCGIs) is challenging due to sequence biases in coding exons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel computational method for identifying coding CpG islands (CCGIs).
  • To refine existing CCGI annotations and discover new instances in the human genome.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a method utilizing Markov chains to identify significant regions enriched for CpGs within coding exons.
  • Employed exact computation of tail probabilities and a greedy algorithm for island selection.
  • Controlled the false discovery rate during island identification.

Main Results:

  • Applied the method to the human genome (hg18), annotating CCGIs in coding exons.
  • The approach reduced false positives compared to existing annotations.
  • Discovered a significant number of previously unidentified CCGIs in coding exons.

Conclusions:

  • The novel method effectively identifies CCGIs, improving accuracy and discovering new instances.
  • The newly identified CCGIs suggest functional epigenetic specialization within coding exons.
  • This work advances the understanding of genomic and epigenomic interplay in gene regulation.
