Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

7.2K
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...

Sanger Sequencing

762.2K
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...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

16.9K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

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...

Mismatch Repair01:20

Mismatch Repair

5.5K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The Mutator Protein Family Plays a Key Role in DNA Mismatch Repair
The human genome has more than 3 billion base pairs of DNA per cell. Prior to cell division, that vast amount of genetic...

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals

1.2K
Spin systems where the difference in chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei is greater than ten times J are called first-order spin systems. These nuclei are weakly coupled, and their chemical shifts and coupling constant can generally be estimated from the well-separated signals in the spectrum.
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Ambiguous representations of small insertions and deletions (indels) complicate genomic analysis. The indelPost Python library resolves these ambiguities for both simple and complex indels, improving variant accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Small insertions and deletions (indels) can be represented ambiguously by different genomic analysis tools.
  • This representational ambiguity, particularly for complex indels, hinders accurate comparisons between datasets and can lead to misannotation of variant effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational tool, indelPost, that harmonizes ambiguous indel representations.
  • To enable accurate analysis of complex indels and improve variant effect prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized realignment and read-based phasing to resolve indel ambiguities.
  • Developed indelPost as a Python library for harmonizing simple and complex indel representations.

Main Results:

  • indelPost successfully resolves representational ambiguities for both simple and complex indels.
  • The tool accurately derives complex indel alleles from standard small variant caller outputs.
  • indelPost demonstrates improved performance compared to a specialized complex indel analysis tool.

Conclusions:

  • indelPost provides an effective solution for harmonizing ambiguous indel data in genomic analyses.
  • The library enhances the accuracy of variant effect annotation by correctly identifying complex indel alleles.
