Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

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...

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.

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...

Background:

Genome projects generate vast amounts of complex data requiring robust management.
Tracking data lineage and computational steps is crucial for reproducibility and analysis in genomics.

Purpose of the Study:

To implement the PROV-DM model for managing data provenance in genome project workflows.
To facilitate efficient access, comparison, and utilization of workflow execution details for biological research.

Main Methods:

Utilized the PROV-DM model to store details of workflow executions, including data, tools, versions, and parameters.
Developed a provenance simulator to aid in the inclusion of provenance data for genome project workflows.
Conducted a case study involving Bacillus cereus metabolic pathway gene identification and phylogenetic comparison.

Main Results:

The PROV-DM model successfully managed detailed provenance information for genome project workflows.
Biologists can now access, compare, and leverage workflow execution details more effectively.
The provenance simulator streamlined the integration of provenance data.
