Next-generation Sequencing

102.3K
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.

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

13.9K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

7.3K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) generates vast amounts of DNA data, posing significant storage and transmission challenges.
    • Existing compression methods for NGS data often overlook the critical aspect of quality scores.
    • Efficient compression of quality scores is essential for managing large genomic datasets.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an effective compression algorithm specifically for next-generation sequencing (NGS) quality score data.
    • To address the limitations of current compression techniques in handling quality score information.
    • To improve the overall compression efficiency of FASTQ formatted files.

    Main Methods:

    • A memetic algorithm (MA) based approach named MMQSC was developed for compressing NGS quality scores.
    • The algorithm extracts raw quality score sequences from FASTQ files.
    • Compression codebooks are generated using MA-based multimodal optimization, followed by substitutional compression.

    Main Results:

    • MMQSC demonstrates superior compression ratios compared to existing state-of-the-art methods on five diverse NGS datasets.
    • The algorithm achieves lossless and reference-free compression.
    • An average compression ratio of 22.82% was obtained on the experimental datasets.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed MMQSC algorithm effectively compresses NGS quality score data.
    • MMQSC offers a valuable tool for enhancing the overall compression of FASTQ files.
    • This method contributes to more efficient management of large-scale genomic data.
