Modern Molecular Taxonomy

473
Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

17.7K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.5K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic genetics
  • Population genetics
  • Human genetics

Background:

  • Microhaplotype markers are crucial in forensic genetics but often lack sufficient polymorphism.
  • Existing markers limit their effectiveness in complex forensic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel set of highly polymorphic microhaplotype markers.
  • To evaluate the utility of these markers for forensic applications like individual identification, paternity testing, and biogeographic ancestry inference.

Main Methods:

  • Development of microhaplotype markers based on tri-allelic single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
  • Genotyping of 20 microhaplotype loci using the MiSeq PE300 platform on unrelated and familial samples.
  • Population differentiation analysis using data from the 1000 Genomes Project.

Main Results:

  • The 20 developed microhaplotype loci exhibit an average of over 3.5 effective number of alleles.
  • High cumulative powers of discrimination (1-3.3 × 10-18) and exclusion (1-1.928 × 10-7).
  • Successful differentiation among major continental populations (East Asian, South Asian, African, European).

Conclusions:

  • The newly developed microhaplotype markers significantly enrich existing databases.
  • These markers offer enhanced discriminatory power for individual identification and paternity testing.
  • The markers are effective for biogeographic ancestry inference, aiding forensic investigations.
