Homologous Recombination02:31

Homologous Recombination

58.8K
The basic reaction of homologous recombination (HR) involves two chromatids that contain DNA sequences sharing a significant stretch of identity. One of these sequences uses a strand from another as a template to synthesize DNA in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The final product is a novel amalgamation of the two substrates. To ensure an accurate recombination of sequences, HR is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. At these stages, the DNA has been replicated already and the...

The Replisome

31.1K
DNA replication is carried out by a large complex of proteins that act in a coordinated matter to achieve high-fidelity DNA replication. Together this complex is known as the DNA replication machinery or the replisome.
The synthesis of the leading and lagging strands is a highly coordinated process. To explain this, the “Trombone model” was proposed by Bruce Alberts in 1980. The DNA loop formation starts when a primer is synthesized on the parent lagging strand. The loop grows with...

Next-generation Sequencing

87.7K
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.

Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

DNA Isolation01:24

DNA Isolation

35.3K
DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) presents de novo genome assembly challenges, especially for single-cell projects.
  • Existing NGS assemblers often fail to leverage multiple read-pair libraries and assume uniform read coverage, which is not applicable to single-cell data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an algorithm that accurately resolves repeats in genome assembly.
  • To address limitations of current assemblers in handling multiple read-pair libraries and non-uniform coverage in single-cell projects.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the exSPAnder algorithm.
  • Application to both standard and single-cell genome assembly projects utilizing multiple read-pair libraries.

Main Results:

  • The exSPAnder algorithm demonstrates accurate repeat resolution.
  • Successfully applied to complex assembly scenarios involving single and multiple read-pair libraries.

Conclusions:

  • exSPAnder offers an effective solution for repeat resolution in diverse genome assembly contexts.
  • Improves the assembly of standard and single-cell sequencing data by effectively utilizing multiple read-pair libraries.
