Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.7K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.3K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Crossing Over01:30

Crossing Over

6.2K
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis I. Genetic recombination gives rise to allelic diversity in the newly formed daughter cells. In humans, crossing over produces genetically distinct haploid egg and sperm cells that undergo fertilization to produce unique offspring. Before cell division starts, the germ cell’s chromosome(s) undergo duplication in the S phase of the cell cycle. As the cells enter prophase I,...

Gene Conversion02:08

Gene Conversion

10.6K
Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Meiotic recombination rates exhibit significant genomic variation, characterized by localized crossover hotspots and coldspots.
  • Previous methods for mapping these recombination patterns required extensive resources, such as analyzing hundreds of offspring, limiting large-scale studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce ReMIX, a novel, cost-effective method for detecting and quantifying meiotic crossovers from a single individual's gamete DNA.
  • To enable high-resolution, genome-wide mapping of recombination landscapes and variation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes Illumina sequencing of 10X Genomics linked-read libraries.
  • Reconstructs haplotypes and identifies rare DNA molecules spanning crossover breakpoints.
  • Applies the method to gamete DNA from a single mouse and stickleback fish.

Main Results:

  • ReMIX successfully identified meiotic recombination hotspots and landscapes.
  • The method's findings in a single mouse and fish accurately mirrored results previously obtained from hundreds of offspring.
  • Demonstrated high-resolution, high-throughput, and low-cost quantification of recombination variation.

Conclusions:

  • ReMIX offers a powerful and accessible approach to study meiotic recombination variation across diverse organisms.
  • Facilitates detailed analysis of recombination landscapes at the individual level, overcoming previous cost and effort barriers.
