RNA-seq

12.4K
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...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

13.6K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Sanger Sequencing

777.7K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Third-generation sequencing technologies offer longer reads than second-generation methods but have unique error profiles.
  • Existing read simulators are primarily designed for second-generation data, leaving a gap for third-generation sequencing simulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a realistic read simulator for third-generation sequencing data.
  • To address the limited availability of simulation tools for Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of public PacBio SMRT sequencing data.
  • Development of a novel error model based on sequencing data characteristics.
  • Implementation of the error model into a new read simulator named SimLoRD.

Main Results:

  • SimLoRD allows users to select read length distributions.
  • The simulator models error probabilities based on the number of sequencing passes.
  • The developed error model enhances the realism of SMRT read simulation.

Conclusions:

  • SimLoRD provides a highly realistic simulation of PacBio SMRT sequencing data.
  • This tool addresses a critical need for accurate simulation in third-generation sequencing research.
  • SimLoRD is available as open-source software for the scientific community.
