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...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.9K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

RNA-seq03:21

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...

Per-Unit Sequence Models

484
An ideal Y-Y transformer, grounded through neutral impedances, displays per-unit sequence networks akin to those of a single-phase ideal transformer when subjected to balanced positive- or negative-sequence currents. These currents do not produce neutral currents, and their associated voltage drops.
Zero-sequence currents, which are identical in magnitude and phase, generate a neutral current, resulting in voltage drops across the neutral impedance and the low-voltage winding. If the...

Next-generation Sequencing

100.6K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

13.5K
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.

Background:

  • Multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) are foundational for homology-based inference in bioinformatics.
  • Applications like 3D structure modeling and functional annotation are sensitive to MSA quality.
  • Ignoring uncertain or non-homologous regions in MSAs can introduce significant bias.

  • To improve the reliability of homology inference by distinguishing conserved regions.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced LEON-BIS, a novel method employing a Bayesian framework.
  • LEON-BIS estimates homologous relations at multiple levels: core blocks, regions, and full-length proteins.
  • Sequences are clustered into sub-families to refine relation predictions.

Main Results:

  • LEON-BIS demonstrates high accuracy and reliability in large-scale comparisons.
  • The method effectively detects homologous sequence segments with high sensitivity and specificity.
  • Predictions were validated using well-annotated alignment databases.

Conclusions:

  • LEON-BIS utilizes Bayesian statistics to differentiate conserved portions of MSAs within families and subfamilies.
  • The method enhances the accuracy of homology detection in MSAs.
  • LEON-BIS is valuable for high-throughput genome annotation, structure prediction, and protein interaction prediction.
