Genomics

41.2K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Next-generation Sequencing

100.0K
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.

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...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Public access computer-based information systems for medicine and biology have existed for two decades.
  • Early systems were primarily bibliographic, indexing citations rather than containing direct information.
  • A significant shift is occurring from printed resources to factual databases in basic biology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the evolution of biological databases from bibliographic to factual systems.
  • To emphasize the critical role of factual databases in managing and analyzing large-scale biological data.
  • To address the challenge of integrating information across disparate biological databases.

Main Methods:

  • The abstract discusses the transition driven by automated sequencing technologies (DNA, RNA, proteins).
  • It highlights the dependence on computerized factual databases for data acquisition, storage, retrieval, and analysis.
  • The Human Genome Project's impact on nucleic acid data information science is noted.

Main Results:

  • Factual databases now store the sought-after information, unlike pointer-based bibliographic systems.
  • Automated sequencing has generated massive datasets requiring sophisticated database management.
  • There is a growing need for accessing and integrating information across multiple, currently stand-alone, biological databases.

Conclusions:

  • The transition to factual databases is crucial for handling the explosion of biological sequence data.
  • Integrating information from diverse biological databases is a major challenge but promises knowledge synergy.
  • Future biological research relies heavily on advanced information systems capable of data integration and analysis.
