Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

7.1K
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...

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

777.0K
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...

Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

21.3K
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.

Next-generation Sequencing

100.3K
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.

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 Conversion02:08

Gene Conversion

10.8K
Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

HapSVAssembler reconstructs parental haplotypes from diploid genomes using a genetic algorithm, accurately identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and structural variations (SVs). This method improves heterozygosity estimation by accounting for large-scale SVs.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Diploid genomes contain paternal and maternal haplotypes with variations like SNPs and SVs.
  • Current genome assemblers often produce a single consensus sequence, obscuring haplotype differences.
  • Accurate haplotype reconstruction is crucial for genetic linkage and association studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement HapSVAssembler for reconstructing paternal and maternal haplotypes.
  • To identify heterozygous variants, including SNPs and structural variations (SVs).
  • To improve the accuracy of genome assembly and heterozygosity estimation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with paired-end sequencing data.
  • Developed a method to build a consensus sequence and identify heterozygous variants.
  • Formulated haplotype reconstruction as an optimization problem solved by the GA.

Main Results:

  • HapSVAssembler demonstrated high accuracy and contiguity across various sequencing conditions.
  • Successfully identified 12,781 heterozygous SNPs and 602 hemizygous SVs in a pilot study.
  • Showcased that SVs, despite lower counts, occupy larger genomic regions than SNPs.

Conclusions:

  • HapSVAssembler provides an accurate approach for haplotype reconstruction in diploid genomes.
  • The study highlights the significant impact of SVs on overall genome heterozygosity.
  • Findings suggest that traditional heterozygosity estimates based solely on SNPs may be underestimated.
