Multi-species Conserved Sequences02:51

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...

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

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...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

14.9K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Nucleic Acid Structure01:25

Nucleic Acid Structure

9.8K
The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms  a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is crucial for analyzing biological sequences.
    • Existing MSA tools often use default parameters, limiting accuracy.
    • Parameter tuning is sequence-dependent but often overlooked.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel framework for optimizing MSA tool performance.
    • To enhance alignment accuracy by adapting parameters to sequence characteristics.
    • To improve the efficiency and reliability of bioinformatics analyses.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a characteristic-based framework for MSA.
    • Extracted characteristics from unaligned sequences.
    • Matched sequences to optimal parameter configurations from similar datasets.
    • Evaluated the framework using the MUSCLE aligner and benchmark datasets.

    Main Results:

    • The framework significantly improved MUSCLE's alignment accuracy and conservation.
    • Improvements were most notable in scenarios with low sequence identity.
    • Demonstrated the effectiveness of characteristic-based parameter optimization.

    Conclusions:

    • Characteristic-based optimization enhances MSA tool performance.
    • The proposed framework offers a flexible and effective approach to improve alignment quality.
    • This method is particularly beneficial for challenging, low-identity sequence sets.
