Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.9K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

8.1K
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...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.0K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

21.5K
Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

Genetic Variation01:25

Genetic Variation

1.5K
Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences found among individuals of the same species. This diversity is crucial for a species' survival because it helps organisms adapt to environmental changes. Genetic variation begins with fertilization, where an egg and sperm cell merge. Each of these cells carries 23 chromosomes, up to 46 in the fertilized egg. Chromosomes are long DNA strands that contain genes, the basic units of heredity.
Genes exist in different versions called alleles,...

Genomics02:02

Genomics

41.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Genomic studies often involve analyzing associations between multiple sets of genomic features, such as intervals across the genome.
  • Current methods are limited to pairwise associations, hindering the discovery of complex, higher-order genomic relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel computational method, the Genomic Interval Overlap Model (GINOM), for testing significant associations among multiple genomic features.
  • To enable the identification of complex, higher-order associations that are biologically significant.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Genomic Interval Overlap Model (GINOM).
  • Application of GINOM to simulated and real genomic data.
  • Utilizing GINOM to investigate L1 retrotransposable element insertion patterns in lung cancer genomics.

Main Results:

  • GINOM successfully identified higher-order associations in both simulated and real datasets.
  • A significant pairwise association was found between L1 insertions and heterochromatic marks in lung cancer data.
  • GINOM detected an association between L1 insertions and gene bodies with facultative heterochromatic marks, explaining insertion bias.

Conclusions:

  • GINOM is an effective tool for uncovering complex associations between multiple genomic features.
  • The method provides novel insights into the mechanisms driving L1 retrotransposable element insertion bias in cancer.
  • GINOM's findings suggest a link between L1 insertions, facultative heterochromatin, and cancer-associated genes.
