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...

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...

Gene Families

10.1K
Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Genome Annotation and Assembly

21.2K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • Ortholog detection is crucial for understanding gene evolution, phylogenetic relationships, and predicting gene function.
  • Reliable protein region annotation is a limitation in genomics due to scarce experimental proteome-level evidence.
  • Current ortholog collections primarily rely on protein sequence comparisons and available transcriptome data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Transcriptologs, a new method for ortholog prediction.
  • To leverage messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence similarities for ortholog identification.
  • To improve upon traditional protein-based ortholog detection methods.

Main Methods:

  • Developed Transcriptologs, a method utilizing translated mRNA fragment similarities between species.
  • Implemented an extension procedure for BLAST-based alignments.
  • Defined orthologs using the Bidirectional Best Hit (BBH) approach.

Main Results:

  • Transcriptologs demonstrated superior performance in specific cases compared to classical protein-based analyses.
  • The method achieved higher alignment quality in tests using Arabidopsis thaliana and Sorghum bicolor transcript collections.
  • Transcriptologs successfully identified similarities not detectable by conventional protein sequence comparisons.

Conclusions:

  • Transcriptologs offers a valuable alternative for ortholog prediction, especially when experimental proteomic data is limited.
  • The method enhances the accuracy and scope of genomic comparisons.
  • Utilizing transcriptome data provides a powerful approach for advancing ortholog discovery and functional genomics.
