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:

Sanger sequencing is a cost-effective DNA sequencing method widely used in molecular diagnostics.
Analyzing mixed DNA samples, common in clinical settings, is challenging with traditional Sanger sequencing.
Current methods for mixed DNA analysis, such as clone sequencing, are complex, time-consuming, and expensive.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel computational method, base-calling with vocabulary (BCV), for deciphering mixed DNA sequences from Sanger chromatograms.
To demonstrate the utility of BCV in analyzing complex clinical samples containing mixtures of similar DNA sequences.

Main Methods:

The base-calling with vocabulary (BCV) algorithm takes a Sanger chromatogram and a dictionary of expected similar sequences as input.
BCV was tested on datasets with varying levels of sequence degeneracy (0% and 3-14%).
The method was applied to assemble consensus sequences for HIV variants, detect drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, and characterize bacterial communities via 16S rRNA sequencing.

Main Results:

BCV successfully deciphered mixed DNA sequences from Sanger chromatograms, even with significant sequence degeneracy.
The method enabled the assembly of consensus HIV genome fragments from mixed viral populations.
BCV identified drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and facilitated bacterial community characterization in clinical samples.

Conclusions:

The base-calling with vocabulary (BCV) method offers a computationally efficient solution for analyzing mixed DNA samples using Sanger sequencing.
BCV overcomes limitations of traditional methods, providing a valuable tool for molecular diagnostics and microbial community analysis.
This approach has significant implications for clinical sample analysis, pathogen identification, and understanding microbial diversity.
