RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.3K
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...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.2K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Sanger Sequencing

776.6K
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 Sequencing03:00

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

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Transcript prediction is a graph problem using exons as nodes and reads as exon chains.
  • Third-generation sequencing offers long reads valuable for identifying longer exon chains.
  • High error rates in third-generation sequencing complicate accurate alignment around splice sites.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey methods for identifying exon chains from long reads in splicing graphs.
  • To experimentally evaluate these methods using simulated data for sensitivity/precision analysis.
  • To assess the impact of second-generation sequencing data on improving long-read-based transcript prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Modeling transcript prediction as a graph problem with exons as nodes.
  • Utilizing long reads from third-generation sequencing to identify exon chains.
  • Surveying and experimentally evaluating various exon chain identification approaches.
  • Integrating second-generation sequencing data for error correction or graph projection.

Main Results:

  • Incorrect alignments of long reads introduce spurious graph elements, leading to inaccurate transcript predictions.
  • Second-generation sequencing reads significantly improve exon chain correctness.
  • Combining short and long reads enhances transcript prediction accuracy.
  • Accurate exon chains directly correlate with increased transcript prediction accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating short reads from second-generation sequencing is crucial for accurate long-read alignment and transcript prediction.
  • Hybrid approaches leveraging both short and long reads offer superior performance in transcript prediction.
  • Optimized exon chain identification improves the reliability and accuracy of transcript prediction pipelines.
