Exon Recombination02:32

Exon Recombination

4.3K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes. 
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

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...

Overview of Transposition and Recombination

20.1K
Transposons make up a significant part of genomes of various organisms. Therefore, it is believed that transposition played a major evolutionary role in speciation by changing genome sizes and modifying gene expression patterns. For example, in bacteria, transposition can lead to conferring antibiotic resistance. Movement of transposable elements within the genetic pool of pathogenic bacteria can aid in transfer of antibiotic-resistant genetic elements. In eukaryotes, transposons can carry out...

Homologous Recombination

65.0K
The basic reaction of homologous recombination (HR) involves two chromatids that contain DNA sequences sharing a significant stretch of identity. One of these sequences uses a strand from another as a template to synthesize DNA in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The final product is a novel amalgamation of the two substrates. To ensure an accurate recombination of sequences, HR is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. At these stages, the DNA has been replicated already and the...

Viral Recombination00:57

Viral Recombination

25.5K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Genetics

Background:

  • Recombination is unevenly distributed across genomes, with distinct hotspots and coldspots.
  • Identifying these regions is crucial for understanding recombination mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel computational predictor, SVM-EL, for identifying recombination hotspots and coldspots.
  • To evaluate the predictor's performance on the yeast genome.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the SVM-EL predictor combining Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Ensemble Learning (EL).
  • Utilized three sequence features: k-mer (Kmer), dinucleotide-based auto-cross covariance (DACC), and pseudo dinucleotide composition (PseDNC).
  • These features capture nucleic acid composition and order information.

Main Results:

  • The SVM-EL predictor achieved an accuracy of 82.89% on a benchmark dataset.
  • Performance surpassed that of several related computational methods.
  • Demonstrated the effectiveness of incorporating sequence composition and order information.

Conclusions:

  • SVM-EL is an effective computational tool for identifying yeast recombination hotspots/coldspots.
  • The predictor offers valuable insights into recombination mechanisms.
  • This approach advances genomic analysis and the study of genetic variation.
