Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.7K
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...

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...

Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

5.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Genome walking is a molecular biology technique used to determine DNA sequences of unknown genomic regions adjacent to a known DNA sequence.
  • It is particularly useful for identifying gene promoter regions when only the coding sequence is known.
  • This method also aids in capturing homologous genes across different species by targeting conserved sequence areas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the utility of genome walking for DNA sequence determination.
  • To highlight its applications in gene promoter identification and cross-species gene capture.
  • To discuss the future adaptation of genome walking principles to in silico methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based approaches.
  • Captures approximately 6-7 kb of DNA sequence per round.
  • Adaptable to in silico methods with the rise of next-generation sequencing.

Main Results:

  • Efficiently determines DNA sequences of unknown flanking genomic regions.
  • Successfully identifies gene promoter regions and homologous genes in new species.
  • Demonstrates potential for capturing 6-7 kb of sequence in a single round.

Conclusions:

  • Genome walking is an efficient method for characterizing unknown flanking DNA sequences.
  • It remains a valuable tool for smaller projects, especially PCR-based applications.
  • Future adaptations will integrate its principles into in silico methodologies for genomic analysis.
