Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.4K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.3K
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...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Precision medicine advancements rely on comprehensive human genomics data.
  • Current human reference genomes lack global diversity, hindering equitable health improvements.
  • Incorporating alternative haplotypes is vital for capturing genomic variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for localizing short DNA sequences (100 base pairs) from unmapped reads.
  • To identify regions of the human genome containing non-reference sequences.
  • To enhance the human reference genome for greater global diversity.

Main Methods:

  • Extracting unmapped reads from short-read sequencing data.
  • Computing the distribution of 100-mers (sequences of 100 base pairs) within unmapped reads.
  • Utilizing family genetic data to match k-mer distributions to inheritance patterns.
  • Employing a Hidden Markov Model and Maximum Likelihood Estimator for sequence localization.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm successfully localized 96% of k-mers.
  • Localization accuracy exceeded 90%.
  • A median resolution of less than 1 megabase (Mb) was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method accurately localizes diverse human genomic sequences.
  • This approach can significantly improve the human reference genome by including alternative haplotypes.
  • Enhancing the reference genome is a critical step towards addressing the diversity crisis in precision medicine.
