Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.8K
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...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

44.8K
A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data

38.1K
Data that are countable or measurable in specific units are called numerical or quantitative data. Quantitative data are always numbers. Quantitative data are the result of counting or measuring the attributes of a population. Amount of money, pulse rate, weight, number of people living in a town, and number of students who opt for statistics are examples of quantitative data.
Quantitative data may be either discrete or continuous. All quantitative data that take on only specific numerical...

Sequences01:29

Sequences

278
Sequences are fundamental mathematical objects consisting of ordered lists of numbers that follow a specific rule or pattern. Sequences are critical in various mathematical concepts, including calculus, series, and number theory. They can model real-world phenomena such as population growth, financial investments, and physical processes like the diminishing height of a bouncing ball.Each number in a sequence is referred to as a term. Typically, the terms are denoted as a1, a2, a3,…, where...

Sanger Sequencing

774.7K
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...

Arithmetic Sequences01:30

Arithmetic Sequences

240
An arithmetic sequence is a structured arrangement of numbers where each term is derived by adding a constant value, known as the common difference, to the previous term. This consistent pattern allows for the efficient computation of any term within the sequence as well as the cumulative sum of multiple terms. The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:Here, aₙ represents the nth term of the sequence, a is the first term, d is the common difference, and n is the...

  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Genotyping is crucial for bioinformatics, with reduced representation next-generation sequencing (NGS) being a common approach.
  • While NGS genotyping is established for diploids, methods for polyploids are emerging but often overlook key data complexities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel empirical Bayes approach for accurate genotyping of polyploid individuals using NGS data.
  • To address and model common challenges in NGS data, including sequencing error, allelic bias, overdispersion, and preferential chromosome pairing.

Main Methods:

  • An empirical Bayes framework leveraging Mendelian segregation for related individuals.
  • Novel models to account for preferential chromosome pairing in polyploid genotyping.
  • Derivation of oracle genotyping error rates for read depth recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Accurate genotyping of polyploid individuals was demonstrated through simulations.
  • The method was successfully applied to a hexaploid sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) dataset.
  • The developed R package 'updog' is available for public use.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method offers a robust solution for polyploid genotyping by accounting for inherent NGS data complexities.
  • This work advances the field of polyploid genomics, providing tools for more accurate genetic analysis.
