Reporter Genes02:11

Reporter Genes

12.2K
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.

The Central Dogma

The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...

Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

7.3K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Pseudogenes were historically considered nonfunctional genetic elements.
  • Recent large-scale sequencing projects reveal pseudogenes' significant evolutionary and regulatory roles.
  • High-quality pseudogene annotation is crucial for human and model organisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To manually annotate and characterize pseudogenes in the human and mouse reference genomes.
  • To compare the creation, development, and activity of pseudogene complements in humans and mice.
  • To leverage functional-genomics, evolutionary, and phenotypical data for comprehensive pseudogene analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Manual annotation of pseudogenes using GENCODE standards.
  • Comparative analysis of pseudogene complements in human and mouse genomes.
  • Integration of functional-genomics, evolutionary, and phenotypical data.

Main Results:

  • Human pseudogenes originated from a single burst of retrotransposition.
  • Mouse pseudogenes show continuous renewal due to active transposable elements.
  • ~10% of pseudogenes are transcribed in both humans and mice, indicating shared activity patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Pseudogene annotation and characterization are vital for understanding genome evolution.
  • Comparative genomics reveals distinct yet shared pseudogene biology between humans and mice.
  • Developed resources based on GENCODE annotations aid pseudogene research.
