Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

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...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

7.3K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Convergent Evolution01:54

Convergent Evolution

34.3K
Evolution shapes the features of organisms over time, ensuring that they are suited for the environments in which they live. Sometimes, selection pressure leads to the rise of similar but unrelated adaptations in organisms with no recent common ancestors, a process known as convergent evolution.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Read-based phasing uses sequencing reads to determine haplotypes.
  • Genetic haplotyping infers haplotypes within a pedigree using Mendelian inheritance rules.
  • Integrating these methods offers potential for improved haplotype resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical framework for combining read-based and genetic haplotyping.
  • To present an algorithm and implementation for optimal haplotype phasing.
  • To evaluate the performance of the integrated approach using simulated and real data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a theoretical framework integrating read-based and pedigree information.
  • Designed a fixed-parameter algorithm for optimal haplotype phasing.
  • Implemented the algorithm and tested it on diverse datasets.

Main Results:

  • Jointly leveraging reads from related individuals significantly increases phased variants and accuracy.
  • Achieved high accuracy with low coverage (2×) per individual in a trio, comparable to separate analysis at 15× coverage.
  • Demonstrated superior performance in both simulated and real-world genetic data.

Conclusions:

  • The combined approach of read-based and genetic haplotyping offers a powerful strategy for accurate haplotype inference.
  • This method significantly enhances the number and accuracy of phased variants, particularly in low-coverage scenarios.
  • The implementation is publicly available, facilitating its application in genomic research.
