RNA Interference

27.4K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which a small non-coding RNA molecule blocks the post-transcriptional expression of a gene by binding to its messenger RNA (mRNA) and preventing the protein from being translated.
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

Experimental RNAi

7.0K
RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing its transcription or activating the RNA degradation process. The mechanism was discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello in 1998 in plants. Today, it is observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals. This precise cellular mechanism of gene silencing has been developed into a technique that provides an efficient way to identify and determine the...

siRNA - Small Interfering RNAs

18.0K
Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, are short regulatory RNA molecules that can silence genes post-transcriptionally, as well as the transcriptional level in some cases. siRNAs are important for protecting cells against viral infections and silencing transposable genetic elements.
In the cytoplasm, siRNA is processed from a double-stranded RNA, which comes from either endogenous DNA transcription or exogenous sources like a virus. This double-stranded RNA is then cleaved by the...

Filtration00:53

Filtration

3.3K
Filtration is a physical separation process that involves passing a suspension through a porous medium to separate solids from fluids. During filtration, solids collect on the porous medium while liquids, also collectively known as the filtrate, pass through. The filtration medium is selected based on the filtration purpose, quantity, and nature of the precipitate. The general criteria for a suitable filtering medium are that it is inert, mechanically strong, nonabsorbent toward dissolved...

Sanger Sequencing

769.7K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have advanced, yet reliable detection of insertions and deletions (indels) remains challenging.
  • Accurate indel identification is critical for applications in personalized healthcare, disease genomics, and population genetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust method for reliable indel detection using machine learning.
  • To improve the performance of variant calling pipelines by filtering erroneous indel calls.

Main Methods:

  • Developed SICaRiO, a gradient boosting classifier trained on the 'Genome in a Bottle' (GIAB) gold-standard dataset.
  • Utilized genomic features computable from public resources, avoiding reliance on sequencing pipeline-specific data like read depth.
  • Analyzed prediction difficulty for different indel categories across various sequencing pipelines.

Main Results:

  • The SICaRiO filtering scheme significantly enhances the performance of multiple variant calling pipelines.
  • Identified genomic features that contribute to erroneous indel calls by sequencing pipelines.
  • Ranked genomic features based on their predictivity for distinguishing false positive indel calls.

Conclusions:

  • SICaRiO offers a reliable method for true indel detection, improving genomic data analysis.
  • The approach leverages accessible genomic features, making it broadly applicable.
  • Understanding genomic contexts of false positives can guide future variant calling improvements.
