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.

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

52.0K
Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes

53.0K
Eukaryotes have large genomes compared to prokaryotes. To fit their genomes into a cell, eukaryotic DNA is packaged extraordinarily tightly inside the nucleus. To achieve this, DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, which are packaged into nucleosomes that are joined by linker DNA and coil into chromatin fibers. Additional fibrous proteins further compact the chromatin, which is recognizable as chromosomes during certain phases of cell division.

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

9.1K
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region02:40

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

18.8K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Current genome annotation pipelines often fail to fully utilize single-molecule, full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) sequencing data.
  • This limitation hinders accurate transcript structure and alternative splicing identification, crucial for comprehensive genome annotation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present Long-Read Annotation (LoReAn) software, an automated pipeline designed to enhance genome annotation accuracy.
  • To integrate diverse data types, including short- and long-read cDNA sequencing, protein evidence, and ab initio predictions, for improved gene structure determination.

Main Methods:

  • LoReAn software was developed as an automated annotation pipeline.
  • The pipeline integrates data from short- and long-read cDNA sequencing (Pacific Biosciences, MinION), protein evidence, and ab initio predictions.
  • Annotations were performed on fungal (Verticillium dahliae, Plicaturopsis crispa) and plant (Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa) genomes.

Main Results:

  • LoReAn demonstrated superior performance compared to popular annotation pipelines.
  • The pipeline accurately predicted gene structure by effectively integrating single-molecule cDNA sequencing data.
  • LoReAn successfully identified genes that were missed by other conventional annotation methods.

Conclusions:

  • LoReAn software represents a significant advancement in genome annotation by effectively leveraging long-read cDNA sequencing data.
  • The pipeline's ability to accurately predict gene structure and capture previously missed genes offers a more comprehensive understanding of genomes.
  • LoReAn provides a robust solution for improving the accuracy and completeness of genome annotations across various species.
