Synthetic Biology

5.7K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Export of Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Genes

4.3K
A eukaryotic cell can have up to three different types of genetic systems: nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast. During evolution, organelles have exported many genes to the nucleus; this transfer is still ongoing in some plant species. Approximately 18% of the Arabidopsis thaliana nuclear genome is thought to be derived from the chloroplast’s cyanobacterial ancestor, and around 75% of the yeast genome derived from the mitochondria’s bacterial ancestor. This export has occurred...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • The Unix 'make' program is a common tool in bioinformatics pipelines.
  • Limitations of 'make' include timestamp dependency, lack of cluster support, and restricted extensibility for large datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce BioMake, a novel utility designed to overcome the limitations of traditional 'make' in bioinformatics.
  • To enhance the functionality of 'make' for large-scale data analysis and parallel processing.

Main Methods:

  • BioMake is a make-like utility compatible with GNU Make features.
  • It incorporates support for cluster job-queue engines and MD5 signatures as an alternative to file timestamps.
  • Logic programming extensions in Prolog are integrated for enhanced flexibility.

Main Results:

  • BioMake offers improved performance and flexibility for bioinformatics workflows.
  • It provides compatibility with existing GNU Make features.
  • MD5 signatures offer a robust alternative to timestamp-based dependency checking.

Conclusions:

  • BioMake addresses key limitations of 'make' for large-scale bioinformatics analyses.
  • The tool enhances parallel processing capabilities and offers greater flexibility through logic programming extensions.
  • BioMake is a valuable addition to the bioinformatics software toolkit.
