Genomics

35.5K
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...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

9.4K
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...

Master Transcription Regulators

6.1K
Master transcription regulators are regulatory proteins that are predominantly responsible for regulating the expression of multiple genes. Often these genes work in concert to drive a  complex process. Activation of a master transcription regulator can lead to a cascade of transcriptional activation necessary for that outcome. These regulators can directly bind to the regulatory sequences of the various genes involved, or they can indirectly regulate transcription by binding to regulatory...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Transcriptomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • The American mink transcriptome is largely uncharacterized, hindering genetic and expression studies.
  • High-throughput sequencing technologies offer opportunities to explore complex genomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generate a comprehensive set of annotated American mink transcript sequences.
  • To establish a foundational dataset for future mink gene expression profiling and whole-genome sequencing projects.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized HiSeq2000 Illumina sequencing to generate approximately 90 Gb of raw transcript data.
  • Employed a combined Velvet and Phrap assembly approach for unique contigs.
  • Performed gene annotation using custom scripts, blast algorithms, and comparative analysis against dog and human genomes.

Main Results:

  • Assembled contigs showed significant matches to dog (136,000) and human (30,000) genomes, covering over 17,000 unique gene locations.
  • Annotated transcripts represented more than 16,000 known genes.
  • Identified seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pigmentation-associated genes through transcript-genomic comparison.

Conclusions:

  • This work provides the first extensive transcriptome for the American mink.
  • The generated dataset serves as a crucial resource for advancing research in mink genetics and expression analysis.
  • Facilitates future whole-genome sequencing efforts and detailed annotation of the mink genome.
