Cloning of Dolly the Sheep01:08

Cloning of Dolly the Sheep

8.7K
The first successfully cloned mammal was Dolly, a sheep, born on 5th July 1996 at Roslin Institute, Scotland. The cloned sheep was named after the American singer Dolly Parton. Dolly lived for seven years and died of respiratory complications, which is speculated to be due to the actual age of her DNA. Because the DNA in cloned cells belongs to an older individual,  the cloned individual’s life expectancy may be affected. Indeed, analysis of Dolly’s DNA revealed shorter...

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...

Improving Translational Accuracy

11.6K
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...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

5.8K
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...

The Central Dogma01:20

The Central Dogma

21.2K
The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Animal and Plant Breeding
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Genomic prediction commonly uses linear mixed models to estimate marker effects and breeding values.
  • Ridge regression-best linear unbiased prediction (RR-BLUP) assumes normally distributed, uncorrelated SNP marker effects with equal variances.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop DAIRRy-BLUP, a parallel, distributed-memory RR-BLUP implementation.
  • To enable the analysis of large-scale genomic datasets for more accurate predictions.
  • To assess the impact of data size and SNP density on prediction accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a parallel, distributed-memory RR-BLUP using the Average Information algorithm for variance component estimation.
  • Utilized single-trait observations (Y).
  • Designed for large-scale datasets where SNP marker dimensionality exceeds single-node capacity.

Main Results:

  • DAIRRy-BLUP successfully analyzed datasets with up to 1,000,000 individuals and 360,000 SNPs.
  • Increased phenotypic and genotypic records significantly improved prediction accuracy.
  • SNP density had a less pronounced effect on prediction accuracy compared to data volume.

Conclusions:

  • DAIRRy-BLUP provides a scalable solution for genomic prediction in large populations.
  • Maximizing the number of phenotypic and genotypic records is crucial for enhancing prediction accuracy.
  • The study highlights the importance of data quantity over SNP density for effective genomic prediction.
