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...

Gene Duplication and Divergence

8.2K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

8.3K
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...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.5K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Genomics

41.5K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Accurate and consistent genome annotation is crucial as more genomes become available.
  • Existing methods struggle with annotating entire clades of closely related species simultaneously.

  • To develop a new comparative gene-finding approach for simultaneous annotation of multiple closely related genomes.
  • To improve the accuracy and consistency of gene structure prediction across a clade.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes multiple genome alignments of closely related species.
  • Simultaneously predicts protein-coding gene locations and structures.
  • Employs a graph-based binary labeling formulation, approximated via subgradient-based dual decomposition.
  • Exploits negative selection and sequence conservation for improved prediction.

Main Results:

  • Tested on whole-genome alignments of vertebrate and Drosophila species.
  • Demonstrated high accuracy for human, mouse, and Drosophila melanogaster annotations.
  • Outperformed previous methods in transferring annotations between closely related genomes.
  • Well-suited for annotating large numbers of genomes within a clade, especially with RNA-Seq data.

Conclusions:

  • The novel method provides accurate and consistent clade-wide genome annotation.
  • It offers a significant improvement over existing annotation transfer techniques.
  • The approach is particularly effective for closely and moderately related species.
