RNA-seq

11.1K
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...

Next-generation Sequencing

95.9K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Sanger Sequencing

766.9K
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...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

11.9K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • DNA barcodes are crucial for sample identification but are prone to errors during synthesis, amplification, and sequencing.
  • These errors, including insertions, deletions, and substitutions, can lead to misidentification and index hopping, compromising experimental integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust DNA barcode construction scheme resistant to sequencing errors.
  • To create an effective barcode identification method capable of correcting insertion, deletion, and substitution errors in noisy sequencing reads.

Main Methods:

  • A novel DNA barcode construction combining cyclic block codes with pseudo-random sequences, converting bit pairs to DNA bases.
  • A barcode identification scheme utilizing cyclic shifting and dynamic programming to detect and correct insertion/deletion errors.
  • Erasure-and-error-correction decoding applied to corrupted DNA barcode sequences.

Main Results:

  • The combined cyclic shift and dynamic programming approach significantly reduced bit error rates compared to dynamic programming alone.
  • The proposed method demonstrated improved accuracy in estimating insertion and deletion errors in DNA barcodes.
  • Overall identification error rates were shown to be low, particularly in typical third-generation sequencing scenarios with base mutation probabilities below 0.1.

Conclusions:

  • The developed DNA barcode construction and identification method effectively mitigates sequencing errors.
  • This approach offers enhanced reliability for DNA barcodes, especially in applications requiring long barcodes or facing significant error rates.
  • The method provides a valuable tool for improving data accuracy in molecular biology and genomics research.
