Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.3K
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...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

22.3K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.6K
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...

Synthetic Biology

5.8K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Genomics

41.8K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

  • Population Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Static genome assemblies represent a limited view of a species' genetic diversity.
  • Understanding natural sequence variation is crucial for evolutionary and conservation studies.
  • The dispensable genome, encompassing non-core genetic material, remains underexplored due to technical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid and cost-effective method for harvesting and mapping the dispensable genome.
  • To enable comprehensive analysis of population-level natural sequence variation.
  • To provide a more complete picture of a species' genetic makeup beyond reference assemblies.

Main Methods:

  • A novel approach for DNA extraction and sequencing from diverse population samples.
  • Bioinformatic pipelines designed to identify and map variable genomic regions.
  • Comparative genomics techniques to distinguish dispensable from core genomic elements.

Main Results:

  • Successfully harvested and mapped significant portions of the dispensable genome across multiple species.
  • Identified novel genetic variants and structural variations previously absent from reference genomes.
  • Demonstrated the cost-effectiveness and speed of the developed approach.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers a scalable solution for exploring the dispensable genome.
  • This approach significantly enhances our ability to study population-level genetic diversity.
