Epistasis Analysis01:09

Epistasis Analysis

6.0K
Although Mendel chose seven unrelated traits in peas to study gene segregation, most traits involve multiple gene interactions that create a spectrum of phenotypes. When the interaction of various genes or alleles at different locations influences a phenotype, this is called epistasis. Epistasis often involves one gene masking or interfering with the expression of another (antagonistic epistasis). Epistasis often occurs when different genes are part of the same biochemical pathway. The...

Genetic Screens

5.8K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Structure of a Gene01:30

Structure of a Gene

16.2K
A gene is the fundamental unit of heredity. Every individual has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Although most people contain the same genes, there is a small fraction that is slightly different amongst people. A gene with a small difference in its sequence of DNA bases forms different alleles, contributing to different phenotypes.
However, only 1% of the DNA is composed of genes that encode proteins; the rest, 99% is non-coding DNA. This non-coding DNA performs...

Combinatorial Gene Control02:33

Combinatorial Gene Control

9.7K
Combinatorial gene control is the synergistic action of several transcriptional factors to regulate the expression of a single gene. The absence of one or more of these factors may lead to a significant difference in the level of gene expression or repression.
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...

Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

21.1K
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
  • Epigenomics
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Vast genomic and epigenomic data offer opportunities to study gene functions globally.
  • Network-based studies (PPI, co-expression) capture gene functional relationships but leave mechanisms unclear.
  • Understanding gene function and interaction mechanisms remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct a novel gene co-opening network based on chromatin accessibility.
  • To identify functional gene clusters and predict novel gene functions.
  • To prioritize disease genes for Psoriasis and demonstrate the network's utility in disease gene identification.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a gene co-opening network utilizing chromatin accessibility data.
  • Network analysis to detect functional clusters.
  • Integration with Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) data for disease gene prioritization.

Main Results:

  • Genes involved in specific biological processes or diseases cluster together in the co-opening network.
  • The network effectively detects functional gene modules.
  • The co-opening network, combined with GWAS data, successfully prioritized disease genes for Psoriasis.

Conclusions:

  • The gene co-opening network provides a novel perspective for understanding gene associations.
  • This approach enhances the interpretation of complex disease mechanisms.
  • Chromatin accessibility networks offer a powerful tool for functional genomics and disease gene discovery.
