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...

RNA-seq

12.2K
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...

Sanger Sequencing

775.3K
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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.8K
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%...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • DNA repeats are crucial in biological research, necessitating efficient identification tools.
  • Existing methods for repeat detection can yield large datasets, requiring further refinement.
  • Identifying biologically relevant repeats is essential for advancing genetic research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for statistically filtering repeats within biological sequences.
  • To identify a subset of repeats with a low probability of random occurrence.
  • To reduce the volume of data for analysis, thereby focusing on significant biological signals.

Main Methods:

  • A novel statistical method was defined to select significant repeats from a determined set.
  • The method was applied to DNA, RNA, and protein sequences across arbitrary alphabets.
  • Performance was evaluated using randomly generated sequences and real biological data.

Main Results:

  • The method successfully identified statistically significant repeats in biological sequences.
  • For viral sequences, shorter repeats were often more statistically significant due to high frequency.
  • In bacterial sequences, a majority of identified repeats were found to be statistically significant.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method effectively isolates statistically significant repeats, improving the focus of biological research.
  • This approach offers a valuable tool for analyzing repeat patterns in various biological contexts.
  • The findings suggest that repeat significance can vary based on sequence type and organism.
