Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.2K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

6.2K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

What is Gene Expression?

9.8K
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is comprised  of nucleotides and proteins are comprised of amino acids, a mediator is required to convert the information encoded in DNA into proteins. This mediator is the messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA copies the blueprint from DNA by a process called transcription. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus by complementary base-pairing with the DNA template. The mRNA is then...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Gene set analysis is crucial for interpreting microarray data, but existing permutation tests struggle with time-series and complex experimental designs.
  • Permutation tests require sufficient sample sizes and assume sample exchangeability, which is often violated in longitudinal studies.
  • Complex correlation structures in longitudinal data can hinder accurate significance assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust gene set analysis method suitable for complex experimental designs, including longitudinal data.
  • To address the limitations of permutation tests in handling small sample sizes and non-exchangeable samples.
  • To incorporate gene network dependencies and complex correlation structures into significance testing.

Main Methods:

  • A novel rotation test is proposed as an alternative to the permutation test for assessing gene set significance.
  • The method incorporates gene network information to model dependencies between genes and estimate sample correlations.
  • It is designed to handle complex experimental designs and analyze longitudinal microarray data.

Main Results:

  • The rotation test accurately computes p-values even with very small sample sizes.
  • Simulations on longitudinal data demonstrate improved identification of important gene sets by accounting for sample correlation structures.
  • Application to real data successfully identified gene sets with both constant and strong time-trend expressions.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed rotation test offers a more accurate and versatile approach to gene set analysis, especially for longitudinal and complex microarray data.
  • Incorporating gene dependencies and correlation structures enhances the power to detect significant gene sets.
  • The method effectively identifies differentially expressed gene sets and those exhibiting significant temporal trends.
