Cluster Sampling Method01:20

Cluster Sampling Method

14.8K
Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.9K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Gene Families01:57

Gene Families

10.0K
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...

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression02:35

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

24.9K
Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences  access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area. 
Topologically Associated Domains (TADs)
The 3-dimensional positioning of chromatin in the nucleus influences the...

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data01:25

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data

986
Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:

Vesicular Tubular Clusters01:45

Vesicular Tubular Clusters

3.2K
After budding out from the ER membrane, some COPII vesicles lose their coat and fuse with one another to form larger vesicles and interconnected tubules called vesicular tubular clusters or VTCs. These clusters constitute a compartment at the ER-Golgi interface known as ERGIC (Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Intermediate Compartment). The ERGIC is a mobile membrane-bound cargo transport system that sorts proteins secreted from ER and delivers them to the Golgi.
With the help of motor proteins such...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Hi-C sequencing provides a cost-effective method for analyzing chromosome spatial conformation.
  • Evidence suggests the existence of spatial gene clusters, where functionally related genes are spatially proximate within chromosomes.
  • These clusters are observed across related species, indicating conserved genomic organization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel computational model for identifying spatial gene clusters using Hi-C data.
  • To generalize existing gene cluster prediction models to handle spatial and graph-based data.
  • To accommodate gene duplicates within the spatial gene cluster model.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a gene cluster model, 'delta-teams with families,' extending sequence-based models to graphs for spatial data.
  • Created algorithmic solutions for the generalized models.
  • Implemented the 'delta-teams with families' algorithm into an automated workflow called GraphTeams.
  • Applied GraphTeams to Hi-C data from human and mouse genomes.

Main Results:

  • Presented the first gene cluster model capable of handling spatial data, generalizing the 'delta-teams' model to graphs.
  • The 'delta-teams with families' model effectively handles gene duplicates.
  • Discovered intra- and interchromosomal gene cluster candidates in human and mouse data.
  • Identified intrachromosomal clusters with closer spatial proximity than sequence proximity and interchromosomal clusters with differing chromosomal organization between species.

Conclusions:

  • The 'delta-teams with families' model offers a flexible approach for discovering gene cluster candidates in Hi-C data.
  • Analysis of human and mouse Hi-C data validated the approach by identifying known gene clusters.
  • The study identified novel gene cluster candidates warranting further experimental investigation.
