Replication in Eukaryotes

16.7K
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication is highly conserved and tightly regulated. Multiple linear chromosomes must be duplicated with high fidelity before cell division, so there are many proteins that fulfill specialized roles in the replication process. Replication occurs in three phases: initiation, elongation, and termination, and ends with two complete sets of chromosomes in the nucleus.

Replication in Prokaryotes

27.2K
DNA replication has three main steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. Replication in prokaryotes begins when initiator proteins bind to the single origin of replication (ori) on the cell's circular chromosome. Replication then proceeds around the entire circle of the chromosome in each direction from the two replication forks, resulting in two DNA molecules.

The Replisome

37.7K
DNA replication is carried out by a large complex of proteins that act in a coordinated matter to achieve high-fidelity DNA replication. Together this complex is known as the DNA replication machinery or the replisome.
The synthesis of the leading and lagging strands is a highly coordinated process. To explain this, the “Trombone model” was proposed by Bruce Alberts in 1980. The DNA loop formation starts when a primer is synthesized on the parent lagging strand. The loop grows with...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Handling highly similar metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) is crucial. Different tools remove varying numbers of MAGs, potentially losing valuable population-specific genes and complicating analyses.

Area of Science:

  • Microbial genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Evolutionary biology

Background:

  • Metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) are essential for studying microbial life.
  • Existing tools may produce MAGs not representing natural populations.
  • Redundancy among MAGs from independent datasets poses challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the issue of highly similar MAGs from independent datasets.
  • To evaluate the impact of redundancy removal on MAG quality and gene content.
  • To explore methods for analyzing closely related populations without dereplication.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of published MAG datasets for redundancy (>99% ANI).
  • Comparison of different software packages and parameters for MAG dereplication.
  • Assessment of gene loss in closely related genomes after redundancy removal.

Main Results:

  • A significant fraction of published MAGs share >99% average nucleotide identity (ANI).
  • Dereplication software and parameters vary widely in the number of MAGs removed.
  • Removal of closely related genomes results in the loss of population-specific auxiliary genes.

Conclusions:

  • Redundancy in MAG datasets is common and impacts downstream analyses.
  • Dereplication strategies need careful consideration to avoid losing biological information.
  • Alternative approaches can capture strain-specific dynamics without complete genome dereplication.
