Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

9.5K
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.

Comparing Mitochondrial, Chloroplast, and Prokaryotic Genomes

The present-day mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes have retained some of the characteristics of their ancestral prokaryotes and also have acquired new attributes during their evolution within eukaryotic cells. Like prokaryotic genomes, mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes neither bind with histone-like proteins nor show complex packaging into chromosome-like structures, as observed in eukaryotes. Unlike mitotic cell divisions observed in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts...

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle

8.5K
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...

Summary

A review of 146 mitogenome studies found that none provided complete metadata. Enhancing GenBank records with 13 key metadata fields could significantly improve the discoverability and research value of mitogenome data.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Biodiversity Informatics

Background:

  • Mitogenome metadata are crucial for digital discoverability and interoperability of sequence and specimen data.
  • Existing biodiversity and genomics metadata standards offer a framework for data description.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the completeness of mitogenome metadata in publications from the journal Mitochondrial DNA (2005-2014).
  • To evaluate the potential for mitogenome misidentification based on sequence diversity and taxonomic metadata.
  • To propose essential metadata fields for enhancing the research value of GenBank records.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewed 146 mitogenome manuscripts and their GenBank records for 13 specified metadata fields across collection, biological, and taxonomic categories.
  • Analyzed sequence diversity and taxonomic metadata for Lepidoptera and Perciformes mitogenomes using the Barcode of Life Datasystems (BOLD) and GenBank.
  • Scored metadata presence and completeness for each project.

Main Results:

  • None of the 146 reviewed projects provided all 13 assessed metadata fields.
  • Only 17 projects included metadata across all three main categories (collection, biological, taxonomic).
  • Comparisons with BOLD data suggest potential misidentification in some mitogenomes.

Conclusions:

  • Significant gaps exist in the provision of comprehensive mitogenome metadata in published research.
  • The proposed 13 metadata fields, if consistently included in GenBank records, would substantially increase the utility and value of mitogenome data.
  • Improving metadata standards and implementation is essential for advancing mitogenome research and biodiversity informatics.
