Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

8.4K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

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...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

75
Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Background:

  • Genomic studies generate extensive candidate gene lists, necessitating methods to identify truly relevant genes.
  • Gene prioritization integrates diverse genomic data to rank candidate genes for specific biological contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an extended version of the Endeavour gene prioritization tool.
  • To enhance gene prioritization by integrating a larger number of data sources and supporting multiple species.

Main Methods:

  • Profiling candidate genes across 75 diverse genomic data sources.
  • Integrating heterogeneous information into a global gene ranking system.
  • Validating performance using cross-validation benchmarks and a time-stamped Human Phenotype Ontology dataset.

Main Results:

  • Endeavour's performance (Area Under the Curve) reached 88% for human phenotypes and 95% for worm gene function in cross-validation.
  • Validation using a time-stamped benchmark with 3854 novel gene-phenotype associations yielded 82% performance.
  • The extended Endeavour tool demonstrates efficient candidate gene prioritization.
