Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes03:21

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.

Genomics

40.6K
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...

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes

4.8K
Lymph nodes are bean-shaped structures that cluster along the lymphatic vessels in the inguinal, axillary, and cervical regions. Each node is divided into compartments by a capsule that extends trabeculae inward.
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

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...

Gene Families01:57

Gene Families

9.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Machine learning in genomics

Background:

  • Existing bioinformatics tools analyze gene expression at the gene set level.
  • Inter-gene set associations are often overlooked in current analyses.
  • Deep learning offers potential for unbiased gene set combination and biological interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel deep learning model for integrating gene sets.
  • To introduce and validate the concept of a 'gene superset' for enhanced biological analysis.
  • To assess the model's capability in cancer subtype classification and prognostic prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a gene superset autoencoder (GSAE), a multi-layer autoencoder.
  • Incorporated a priori defined gene sets into the autoencoder architecture.
  • Trained the GSAE using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) genomic data.

Main Results:

  • Gene supersets, represented in the latent layer, captured crucial biological features.
  • The GSAE demonstrated the ability to discriminate tumor subtypes and predict prognosis.
  • Biological relevance of component gene sets within significant supersets was confirmed.

Conclusions:

  • Gene supersets effectively retain biological information relevant to tumor subtypes and clinical prognosis.
  • The autoencoder model with gene supersets provides reproducible survival analysis.
  • The approach enables accurate prediction of cancer subtypes.
