Drug Discovery: Overview

11.2K
Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...

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...

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data

37.0K
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...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

43.0K
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...

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

773.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Human cell lines HepG2, HuH-7, and Jurkat are standard for amplifying RNA viruses from environmental samples.
  • RNA sequencing (RNAseq) is a powerful tool for viral detection but can be confounded by host cell sequences.
  • Efficiently distinguishing viral RNA from host RNA is crucial for accurate analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a specialized subtraction database using sequences from common human cell lines.
  • To enhance the analysis of RNA sequencing data for environmental RNA virus detection.
  • To improve the efficiency of identifying viral sequences by reducing non-viral background noise.

Main Methods:

  • Sequencing of HepG2, HuH-7, and Jurkat human cell lines.
  • Development of a subtraction database containing expected non-viral sequences.
  • Analysis of RNAseq data from Sendai virus-infected cell lines using the subtraction database for host sequence removal.

Main Results:

  • The subtraction database effectively removed a significant number of non-viral reads from RNAseq datasets.
  • Mapping RNAseq reads to the subtraction database facilitated efficient secondary analyses.
  • Demonstrated successful host sequence subtraction in virus-infected cell line samples.

Conclusions:

  • A custom subtraction database significantly improves RNAseq analysis for environmental RNA virus detection.
  • This bioinformatics approach streamlines the process of identifying viral RNA in complex samples.
  • The developed method allows for more efficient and accurate viral discovery in environmental surveillance.
