RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.9K
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...

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.1K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.8K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

765.2K
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...

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

95.5K
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.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Enhancers are crucial genomic regulatory elements controlling gene expression.
  • Accurate enhancer detection and strength evaluation are significant bioinformatics challenges.
  • Current methods often rely on statistical features of fixed-length sequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved model for enhancer detection and transcriptional regulation strength evaluation.
  • To introduce a novel encoding strategy incorporating k-mer location information (SeqPose).
  • To utilize an attention-based bi-directional long-short term memory (BD-LSTM) model for enhanced prediction.

Main Methods:

  • DNA sequence encoding using SeqPose to include k-mer location information.
  • Employing a two-layer BD-LSTM model (spEnhancer) with an attention mechanism.
  • Feature selection using the Chi-squared test and removal of redundant positions.
  • Comparative analysis against state-of-the-art methods using independent test datasets.

Main Results:

  • The spEnhancer model demonstrated competitive detection performance on training data.
  • spEnhancer achieved superior overall performance (MCC) on the independent test dataset for binary classification.
  • The SeqPose strategy, by removing redundant positions, appears to enhance DNA sequence-based prediction models.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed spEnhancer model offers a robust approach to enhancer detection and strength evaluation.
  • Incorporating sequence location information via SeqPose and attention mechanisms improves predictive accuracy.
  • spEnhancer can serve as a valuable complementary tool for identifying novel enhancers.
