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...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

5.0K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

RNA-seq

12.7K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

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...

Cis-regulatory Sequences

12.3K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Accurate RNA sequence and structure comparison is crucial for understanding RNA function and evolution.
  • Existing methods like LocARNA face computational challenges with large datasets.
  • Seed-based approaches offer speed improvements but can compromise accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel computational pipeline, RNA-unchained, for efficient and accurate comparison of query RNA sequences against static target RNA sets.
  • To evaluate the performance of RNA-unchained against established methods using a standard benchmark dataset.

Main Methods:

  • RNA-unchained utilizes a three-step approach: static indexing of target RNA sequence/structure seeds, seed-based searching and chaining for candidate homologs, and anchor-based exact alignment for finalization.
  • The method was benchmarked on Bralibase2.1, comparing its accuracy and speed against LocARNA and ExpLoc-P.

Main Results:

  • RNA-unchained demonstrates a substantial reduction in computation time compared to LocARNA.
  • Its performance in terms of speed is comparable to ExpLoc-P.
  • RNA-unchained achieves improved accuracy in the final alignments over both compared methods.

Conclusions:

  • RNA-unchained offers a significant advancement in RNA sequence and structure comparison, balancing computational efficiency with high accuracy.
  • This method presents a valuable tool for large-scale RNA analysis in bioinformatics and structural biology.
