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...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Sanger Sequencing

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...

Next-generation Sequencing

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....

Improving Translational Accuracy

Improving Translational Accuracy

Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Background:

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) generates vast genomic data but suffers from high error rates.
Existing error correction methods demand excessive memory, limiting their use on commodity hardware for large genomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a memory-efficient algorithm for accurate NGS read error correction.
To improve downstream genomic analysis by enhancing read accuracy and assembly.

Main Methods:

Introduced BLESS (BLoom-filter-based Error correction Solution), a novel algorithm utilizing a minimum-sized Bloom filter.
Implemented read extension capabilities similar to DNA assemblers for end-of-read error correction.

Main Results:

Achieved a 40x average memory usage reduction compared to previous methods.
Corrected errors in 69% of initially unaligned reads, improving alignment rates.
Enhanced de novo assembly by 50% in length and reduced assembly errors by 66%.

Conclusions:

BLESS offers a computationally efficient and accurate solution for NGS read error correction.
The algorithm's reduced memory footprint makes large-scale genomic analysis feasible on standard computers.
