Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.7K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

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...

RNA-seq

11.4K
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...

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...

Human Genetics

1.2K
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Genomics

39.2K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Hematology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients exhibit extensive genetic variations in RHD and RHCE genes, increasing alloimmunization risk.
  • Current serologic typing for Rh antigens is limited, necessitating advanced genetic methods.
  • Understanding RH genetic diversity is crucial for managing transfusion complications in SCD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel algorithm, RHtyper, for high-throughput RH genotyping using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data.
  • To accurately identify diverse RHD and RHCE alleles in patients with SCD.
  • To provide a cloud-based tool for accessible RH genotyping.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the RHtyper algorithm for RH (RHD and RHCE) genotyping from WGS data.
  • Validation of RHtyper against established methods (RH BeadChip, Sanger sequencing, targeted assays) in 57 SCD patients.
  • Application of RHtyper to WGS data from 827 additional SCD patients.

Main Results:

  • RHtyper achieved 100% accuracy for RHD and 98.2% for RHCE in validation.
  • Analysis of 884 SCD patients identified 38 RHD and 28 RHCE distinct alleles, including a novel RHD DAU allele.
  • The tool processed samples rapidly, averaging 3.4 minutes for RHD and 3.3 minutes for RHCE per sample.

Conclusions:

  • RHtyper offers a comprehensive, accurate, and high-throughput solution for RH genotyping from WGS data.
  • The algorithm facilitates the detailed characterization of RH genetic variation in SCD populations.
  • RHtyper is available as a cloud-based application, empowering researchers and clinicians in managing transfusion strategies for SCD patients.
