Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.6K
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...

Alternative RNA Splicing02:18

Alternative RNA Splicing

23.8K
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...

Sanger Sequencing

766.7K
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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.3K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

7.5K
Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

6.2K
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Structural variations (SVs) significantly impact human diseases, traits, and evolution.
  • Accurate SV detection is crucial for individual genome characterization.
  • Current next-generation sequencing (NGS) tools struggle with low sensitivity, especially for insertion detection, due to short read lengths.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel tool, ClipSV, for improved structural variation discovery.
  • To enhance the sensitivity of SV detection, with a focus on insertions.

Main Methods:

  • ClipSV employs a read extension and spliced alignment approach to overcome read length limitations.
  • It reconstructs long sequences from SV-associated short reads.
  • Tree-based decision rules are implemented for comprehensive insertion characterization.

Main Results:

  • ClipSV demonstrated superior performance compared to existing popular tools in evaluations.
  • The tool showed significantly improved sensitivity for insertion detection.
  • Performance was validated using both simulated and real sequencing data.

Conclusions:

  • ClipSV offers improved structural variation discovery, especially for insertions.
  • The tool effectively addresses the limitations of short sequencing reads.
  • ClipSV is anticipated to be a valuable tool for routine genomic applications and future SV characterization studies.
