Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation02:19

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

4.4K
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

407
A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Protein Networks

4.4K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Constitutive and Regulated Gene Expression

677
Gene expression in prokaryotes is governed by constitutive and regulated systems, allowing cells to balance the production of essential proteins with adaptive responses to environmental changes.Constitutive Gene ExpressionConstitutive, or housekeeping, genes are continuously expressed as they encode proteins vital for fundamental cellular processes. These include enzymes for glycolysis, ribosomal components for protein synthesis, and proteins involved in DNA replication. Their constant...

Operon Model01:23

Operon Model

812
The operon model represents a fundamental mechanism of gene regulation in prokaryotes, enabling coordinated expression of genes involved in related metabolic or functional pathways. Operons consist of structural genes, a promoter, and an operator, with transcription regulated by repressors, activators, and small effector molecules.Structure and Function of OperonsAn operon is a cluster of structural genes transcribed together under the control of a single promoter. The promoter region...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Oscillatory genes, crucial in biological processes like the circadian clock and cell cycle, are difficult to identify from static single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data due to the absence of temporal information.
  • Existing methods, such as Oscope, can identify co-oscillatory gene pairs but lack a robust statistical framework for selecting truly oscillatory genes.
  • The challenge lies in distinguishing genuine periodic expression patterns from noise in snapshot scRNA-seq experiments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a statistically principled method for identifying oscillatory genes from snapshot single-cell data.
  • To improve upon the Oscope algorithm by enhancing its optimization scheme and introducing a reliable gene selection criterion.
  • To provide a more accurate and computationally efficient pseudo-time estimation for gene expression analysis.

Main Methods:

  • The study refines the optimization process of the Oscope algorithm.
  • A non-parametric hypothesis test is introduced for selecting oscillatory genes based on a false discovery rate (FDR) threshold.
  • A novel pseudo-time estimation method is proposed and compared against the extended nearest insertion approach.

Main Results:

  • The enhanced method, OscoNet, demonstrates increased sensitivity in detecting known oscillatory genes compared to the original Oscope.
  • OscoNet successfully identifies larger sets of oscillatory genes without relying on arbitrary thresholds.
  • The proposed pseudo-time estimation is more accurate in reconstructing cellular trajectories and significantly reduces computation time.

Conclusions:

  • OscoNet provides a robust and versatile framework for detecting oscillatory gene networks from single-cell data.
  • The method addresses key limitations of previous approaches, offering improved sensitivity and statistical rigor.
  • OscoNet represents a significant advancement in analyzing dynamic biological processes using snapshot scRNA-seq data.
