Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

21.4K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

777.3K
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...

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.

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...

Protein Complex Assembly

17.0K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Short-read sequencing is widely used for de novo genome assembly.
  • Current assembly methods often produce mis-assembled contigs due to deleted or rearranged sequences.
  • Reliable tools for identifying these mis-assemblies are currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors contributing to genome mis-assembly.
  • To evaluate existing tools for detecting mis-assembled contigs.
  • To develop a novel, accurate method for identifying mis-assemblies.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of various genome sequencing data to assess factors influencing mis-assembly.
  • Evaluation of existing mis-assembly detection tools.
  • Development and application of a novel unsupervised learning-based approach.

Main Results:

  • Identified key factors related to sequence, sequencing, and assembly that cause mis-assemblies.
  • Existing mis-assembly detection tools show room for improvement.
  • The proposed unsupervised learning method demonstrated reasonable performance in identifying mis-assembled contigs.

Conclusions:

  • Mis-assembly is a significant challenge in de novo genome assembly from short reads.
  • The novel unsupervised learning approach shows promise as a complementary tool to enhance the accuracy of existing methods.
