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.

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Gene Families

Gene Families

Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

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...

Area of Science:

Bioinformatics
Computational Biology
Genomics

Background:

Gene Ontology (GO) annotations are essential for interpreting gene lists.
Evaluating GO's effectiveness in gene set enrichment analysis is crucial.
Existing methods lack quantitative assessments tied to experimental data.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce a novel task-based framework to evaluate GO annotations and structure.
Quantify the impact of GO on gene set enrichment analysis.
Provide a flexible and powerful tool for GO assessment.

Main Methods:

Developed a task-based framework for GO evaluation.
Implemented a quantitative assessment method.
Anchored evaluations to experimental data and gene set enrichment analysis.

Main Results:

Assessed GO annotation and structure changes from 2004-2012.
Demonstrated improving quality of GO annotations in recalling biological traits.
Differentiated the impact of annotation set changes versus ontology structure changes.

Conclusions:

The developed framework provides a powerful tool for evaluating GO usefulness.
The approach is flexible for assessing current and past GO states.
Applicable for developing new gene annotation methods.
