Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

21.0K
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.

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

37.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Genomics

40.8K
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...

Ogive Graph01:07

Ogive Graph

6.8K
An ogive graph is sometimes called a cumulative frequency polygon. It is one type of frequency polygon that shows cumulative frequency. In other words, the cumulative percentages are added to the graph from left to right. An ogive graph plots cumulative frequency on the vertical y-axis and class boundaries along the horizontal x-axis. It’s very similar to a histogram; only instead of rectangles, an ogive displays a single point where the top right of the rectangle would be. Creating this...

Graphing Antiderivatives01:30

Graphing Antiderivatives

76
The concept of an antiderivative is fundamental in calculus, describing how a function's values accumulate over time. This process is closely related to physical motion, such as the movement of a rolling ball. As the ball progresses, its position changes in response to variations in velocity, just as an antiderivative graph reflects the cumulative effect of the original function's values.Graphing an antiderivative requires interpreting how a function's values influence the shape of its...

Bar Graph01:07

Bar Graph

23.0K
A bar graph is also called a bar chart and consists of bars that are separated from each other. It either uses horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories. The bars can be rectangles, or they can be rectangular boxes (used in three-dimensional plots). One axis of the graph represents the specific categories being compared, and the other axis shows a discrete value. In this graph, the length of the bar for each category is proportional to the number or percent of individuals...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • High-quality haplotype-resolved de novo assemblies of diploid genomes are crucial for understanding structural variation in health and disease.
  • Existing assembly methods often fail to capture diploid genomes by collapsing sequences into a single haploid consensus.
  • Developing resource-efficient assemblers for accurate diploid genomes remains a significant bioinformatics challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel graph-based approach for diploid genome assembly.
  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method using combined Illumina and PacBio sequencing data.

Main Methods:

  • A novel graph-based algorithm for diploid genome assembly.
  • Integration of accurate Illumina sequencing data with long-read Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) data.
  • Evaluation on a pseudo-diploid yeast genome.

Main Results:

  • The method generates accurate and complete diploid assemblies with as little as 50× Illumina coverage and 10× PacBio coverage.
  • The approach successfully detects and phases structural variants within the diploid genomes.
  • Demonstrated effectiveness on a pseudo-diploid yeast genome.

Conclusions:

  • The novel graph-based approach provides an effective and resource-efficient solution for haplotype-resolved de novo diploid genome assembly.
  • This method advances the capability to capture the full diploid nature of genomes, aiding in the study of structural variation.
  • The approach offers a significant improvement for the bioinformatics community in assembling complex diploid genomes.
