Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.1K
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%...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.5K
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...

Sanger Sequencing

761.2K
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

93.9K
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:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Single cell sequencing reveals genomic heterogeneity but faces challenges from whole genome amplification.
  • Amplification introduces allelic bias and copy errors, violating bulk sequencing variant caller assumptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust method for accurate single nucleotide variant calling in single cell DNA sequencing data.
  • To address the limitations of amplification bias and errors in single cell genomics.

Main Methods:

  • ProSolo probabilistically models single cell and bulk sequencing data jointly.
  • Integrates site-specific multiple displacement amplification (MDA) biases efficiently.
  • Implements a novel approach for reliable false discovery rate control.

Main Results:

  • Achieves higher accuracy in single nucleotide variant calling and genotyping compared to state-of-the-art tools.
  • Supports imputation of genotypes with insufficient coverage.
  • Provides a scalable and computationally efficient solution.
