DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

19.7K
Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

What is Gene Expression?

Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

What is Gene Expression?

10.1K
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is comprised  of nucleotides and proteins are comprised of amino acids, a mediator is required to convert the information encoded in DNA into proteins. This mediator is the messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA copies the blueprint from DNA by a process called transcription. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus by complementary base-pairing with the DNA template. The mRNA is then...

Reporter Genes02:11

Reporter Genes

12.4K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

Cell Specific Gene Expression01:58

Cell Specific Gene Expression

14.9K
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Systems Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Network analysis is crucial for gene expression data interpretation.
  • Gaussian Graphical Models (GGMs) are used for gene expression analysis, often requiring regularization due to high dimensionality and low sample size.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenges in constructing accurate GeO-GGMs and GeR-GGMs.
  • To propose a joint estimation method that exploits the hierarchical sparsity structure between gene expression and regulator networks.
  • To improve the performance of network construction by using information from one network to assist the other.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a joint estimation framework for GeO-GGMs and GeR-GGMs that enforces a hierarchical structure.
  • Developed a computational algorithm to implement the joint estimation.
  • Established theoretical consistency properties for the proposed method.

Main Results:

  • The assisted construction of GeO-GGMs and GeR-GGMs significantly outperforms separate construction methods in simulations.
  • Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data revealed novel findings distinct from existing approaches.
  • The proposed method demonstrates improved performance in constructing gene regulatory networks.

Conclusions:

  • Joint estimation leveraging hierarchical structures offers a more robust approach to building gene regulatory networks.
  • The developed method provides a valuable tool for analyzing complex gene expression and regulator data.
