Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.6K
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...

Sanger Sequencing

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...

Next-generation Sequencing

98.0K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

12.7K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Genomics

39.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Immunology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Defective viral genomes (DVGs) arise from viral replication errors and can modulate innate immune responses.
  • DVGs are significant for vaccine attenuation and immunogenicity, necessitating accurate detection methods.
  • Current methods like RT-PCR for DVG detection are laborious and limited in scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a high-throughput sequencing (HTS) based algorithm, DVG-profiler, for comprehensive DVG identification and quantification.
  • To assess the performance of DVG-profiler against in silico and experimental data, including comparisons with conventional methods.

Main Methods:

  • DVG-profiler utilizes HTS data to identify DVG breakpoints and segment directionality relative to a reference genome.
  • Algorithm validation involved in silico datasets and HTS data from parainfluenza virus 5, Sendai virus, and mumps virus.
  • Performance was benchmarked against RT-PCR and an alternative DVG detection algorithm.

Main Results:

  • DVG-profiler demonstrated high specificity, sensitivity, and robustness in identifying and quantifying DVGs.
  • The algorithm accurately detected DVGs across different viral preparations.
  • Results showed strong concordance with RT-PCR and superior performance compared to an alternative algorithm.

Conclusions:

  • DVG-profiler is a reliable and efficient tool for DVG analysis using HTS data.
  • The algorithm can be applied to basic virus research, vaccine development, and quality control of live attenuated vaccines.
  • DVG-profiler's implementation in a cloud-based environment enhances accessibility for HTS data analysis.
