Mismatch Repair

7.1K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The Mutator Protein Family Plays a Key Role in DNA Mismatch Repair
The human genome has more than 3 billion base pairs of DNA per cell. Prior to cell division, that vast amount of genetic...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

19.9K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

19.3K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Point and Frameshift Mutations01:30

Point and Frameshift Mutations

1.6K
Point mutations are genetic alterations involving the change of a single nucleotide base pair in DNA. Depending on how the alteration affects protein synthesis, they can lead to various consequences.Point mutations fall into the following types:Silent mutations occur when a nucleotide change does not alter the amino acid sequence due to the redundancy of the genetic code. For instance, changing ACC to ACA still encodes threonine, leaving the protein function unaffected. This occurs because...

Genome Copying Errors02:46

Genome Copying Errors

5.5K
DNA replication is a well-evolved process that copies millions of base pairs with high fidelity during each cell division. Occasionally a wrong base or a long stretch of wrong bases may get added to the daughter strands. If the errors are left unchecked, cells might accumulate several mutations that might endanger their  survival. Therefore, the copying errors are checked and repaired at three levels.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A new pipeline called MAC (Multi-Nucleotide Variant Annotation Corrector) accurately corrects misannotated multi-nucleotide variants (MNVs) in cancer sequencing data. This tool improves the translation of genomic variations into protein function by correctly identifying and annotating these complex variants.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has advanced cancer variation studies.
  • Accurate annotation of genomic data requires sophisticated tools.
  • Multi-nucleotide variants (MNVs) are challenging to annotate correctly with current methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrative pipeline for correcting misannotated multi-nucleotide variants (MNVs).
  • To improve the accuracy of amino acid predictions from genomic sequencing data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed MAC (Multi-Nucleotide Variant Annotation Corrector) pipeline.
  • MAC utilizes SNV files and corresponding BAM files as input.
  • Tested on a dataset of 3024 SNVs with whole-genome sequencing BAM files.

Main Results:

  • MAC identified eight potentially mis-annotated SNVs from the test dataset.
  • The pipeline successfully corrected amino acid predictions for seven of these variants.
  • Demonstrated the ability to handle MNVs affecting single protein codons.

Conclusions:

  • MAC accurately identifies and corrects amino acid predictions for MNVs missed by SNV-based pipelines.
  • The software facilitates precise translation of genomic sequence to protein function.
  • MAC is freely available, offering a valuable tool for genomic research.
