Genetic Screens

5.9K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

7.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Comparative genomics
  • Model organism databases
  • Amphibian research

Background:

  • The diploid Xenopus (Silurana) tropicalis and tetraploid Xenopus laevis are key model organisms in biomedical research.
  • Genome sequences for X. tropicalis and X. laevis are now available, alongside rapidly growing transcriptomic and epigenetic data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review available genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic data resources for Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis.
  • To provide guidance on locating, downloading, and visualizing these data using public genome browsers.
  • To highlight the utility of Xenbase as a central Xenopus model organism database.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing Xenopus genomic and transcriptomic resources.
  • Description of data access and download procedures from various web resources.
  • Demonstration of data visualization and manipulation using public genome browsers, with a focus on Xenbase.

Main Results:

  • Multiple genome assemblies and extensive datasets are available for both X. tropicalis and X. laevis.
  • Various public web resources and genome browsers facilitate access to these data.
  • Xenbase serves as a comprehensive resource for Xenopus research data.

Conclusions:

  • The increasing availability of genomic and transcriptomic data significantly enhances Xenopus research.
  • Effective utilization of these resources, particularly through Xenbase, is crucial for advancing biomedical studies using Xenopus models.
