    Genome Annotation and Assembly

    21.5K
    The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

    Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

    28.3K
    Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

    DNA as a Genetic Template

    28.8K
    Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

    The DNA Helix01:07

    The DNA Helix

    31.7K
    Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the genetic material responsible for passing traits from generation to generation in all organisms and most viruses. DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides that wind around each other to form a spring-like structure called a double helix. However, the double helix is not perfectly symmetrical. Instead, there are regularly occurring grooves in the structure. The major groove occurs where the sugar-phosphate backbones are relatively far apart. This space...

    Protein Complex Assembly

    17.1K
    Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
    Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

    This paper surveys methods for assembling and visualizing DNA from base-pair sequences. It categorizes techniques into predictive, adaptive, and thermodynamic approaches for DNA structure analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • DNA's genetic information is typically represented by its nucleotide base-pair sequence (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine).
    • Determining the three-dimensional structure of DNA from its sequence is a long-standing research challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey and categorize major methods for assembling and visualizing DNA molecules from their base-pair sequences.
    • To present key software tools implementing these DNA structure prediction methods.

    Main Methods:
