RNA-seq

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Background:

Long fragment read (LFR) technologies like stLFR and 10X Genomics Chromium enable haplotyping and genome assembly.
Sparse read coverage and barcode misassignment in current LFR data hinder efficient genome assembly using long-range information.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel algorithm, IterCluster, for accurate clustering of barcodes from the same genomic region using LFR data.
To improve de novo genome assembly by addressing limitations in current LFR data processing.

Main Methods:

Designed IterCluster, an alignment-free clustering algorithm utilizing k-mer frequency features and Markov Cluster (MCL) approach.
Validated IterCluster using BGI stLFR and 10X Genomics Chromium reads datasets.
Applied IterCluster to a human genome dataset for de novo assembly improvement.

Main Results:

IterCluster demonstrated higher precision and recall on BGI stLFR data compared to 10X Genomics data.
IterCluster significantly improved de novo assembly results, increasing scaffold/contig N50 from 13.2/7.1 kbp to 17.1/11.9 kbp.
The algorithm successfully identified sufficient reads within target regions for adequate genome sequence depth.

Conclusions:

IterCluster offers a novel and effective method for LFR barcode enrichment and clustering.
The algorithm provides a new approach for enhancing de novo genome assembly using LFR data.
IterCluster is an open-source tool, facilitating its adoption in genomic research.
