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...

Sanger Sequencing

777.2K
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

100.4K
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.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

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.

DNA Isolation01:24

DNA Isolation

45.8K
DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Chunking, the grouping of sequential items into chunks, is theorized to reduce working memory load.
  • Existing methods for chunk detection and strategy identification are inconsistent and difficult to implement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a simple, reliable algorithm for identifying chunks in sequences and assessing chunking pattern consistency.
  • To provide a method that quantifies individual chunk features and overall chunking dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • A novel ranking-based algorithm is proposed for sequence analysis.
  • The algorithm identifies chunk positions and estimates chunking pattern consistency across blocks.
  • Validation involved simulated data across various noise levels, chunk lengths, and numbers, as well as real reaction time series data.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm demonstrates validity and efficiency, particularly in realistic noise conditions with sufficient sequence repetitions (≥4).
  • It accurately confirmed findings from three published experiments when applied to reaction time data.
  • The method is robust to outliers and provides concurrent estimation of chunk position and dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • This non-parametric algorithm offers a robust, easy-to-implement solution for analyzing chunking behavior.
  • It enables reliable estimation of both sequence-specific and general chunking effects.
  • The algorithm is publicly available for researchers studying working memory and sequence processing.
