Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines01:24

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

219
A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

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.

Oligosaccharide Assembly01:24

Oligosaccharide Assembly

3.2K
Protein glycosylation starts in the ER lumen and continues in the Golgi apparatus. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the addition of sugar molecules or glycosylation of proteins. Usually, these enzymes add sugars to the hydroxyl groups of selected serine or threonine residues to form O-linked glycans or the amino groups of asparagine residues to form N-linked glycans. Different positions on the same polypeptide chain can contain differently linked glycans.
Multiple sugar molecules that may or may...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.4K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

2.7K
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Comparative Genomics
  • Population Genetics

Background:

  • Linear reference genomes limit genomic analyses due to missing sequences and inability to capture population diversity.
  • Reference-allele bias in current methods hinders accurate genetic variation studies.
  • A more comprehensive reference is needed to fully explore cattle genetic diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct a cattle pangenome incorporating taurine, indicine cattle, and yak assemblies.
  • To identify novel genetic sequences and transcripts absent in the current Bos taurus reference genome.
  • To improve the accuracy of genomic read alignment and variant discovery in cattle.

Main Methods:

  • Assembled a pangenome using six reference-quality genomes (taurine cattle, indicine cattle, yak).
  • Analyzed transcriptomes from 56 cattle to identify non-reference transcripts.
  • Utilized whole-genome sequencing data from five cattle breeds for alignment and variant calling.

Main Results:

  • The pangenome includes over 70 million additional bases compared to the Bos taurus reference.
  • Identified millions of bases unique to yak, indicine cattle, and individual taurine assemblies.
  • Discovered novel transcripts, including immune-related genes, and 83,250 polymorphic sites.
  • Demonstrated accurate read alignment to pangenome sequences, improving variant detection and genetic differentiation capture.

Conclusions:

  • The developed cattle pangenome provides a more inclusive genomic resource, overcoming limitations of linear references.
  • This resource enables the discovery of previously inaccessible genetic variation, including functional genes and polymorphic sites.
  • The pangenome framework facilitates deeper genetic investigations and better understanding of cattle diversity and breed differentiation.
