RNA-seq03:21

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...
Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features.
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...
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.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • High-throughput sequencing generates short reads, potentially containing valuable phase information from heterozygote genotypes.
  • Current haplotype inference methods do not routinely utilize this phase-informative read data.
  • Accurate haplotype phasing is crucial for genetic studies, including medical sequencing and rare disease research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend the SHAPEIT2 method to leverage phase-informative sequencing reads for improved haplotype phasing accuracy.
  • To integrate read information probabilistically using base quality scores.
  • To enhance the utility of high-coverage sequencing data and existing genotype calls for phasing.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an extension of SHAPEIT2 to incorporate phase-informative sequencing reads.
  • Utilized a probabilistic model that includes base quality scores from sequencing reads.
  • Tested the method on high-coverage trio data and simulated sequencing reads from the 1000 Genomes Project (1000GP).

Main Results:

  • The enhanced method increased the mean distance between switch errors by 22% (from 274.4 kb to 328.6 kb).
  • Phasing performance was substantially improved with longer reads (5-20 kb) even with high error rates (4%-15%).
  • Mixtures of insert sizes yielded optimal results for short 100 bp paired-end reads.

Conclusions:

  • Incorporating phase-informative sequencing reads significantly improves haplotype phasing accuracy.
  • The method is effective for high-coverage data, single-sample phasing, and can utilize reference haplotype panels.
  • This advancement has direct applications in medical sequencing and the study of genetic disorders.
