Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

19.1K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Export of Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Genes

3.7K
A eukaryotic cell can have up to three different types of genetic systems: nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast. During evolution, organelles have exported many genes to the nucleus; this transfer is still ongoing in some plant species. Approximately 18% of the Arabidopsis thaliana nuclear genome is thought to be derived from the chloroplast’s cyanobacterial ancestor, and around 75% of the yeast genome derived from the mitochondria’s bacterial ancestor. This export has occurred...

Comparing Mitochondrial, Chloroplast, and Prokaryotic Genomes

12.6K
The present-day mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes have retained some of the characteristics of their ancestral prokaryotes and also have acquired new attributes during their evolution within eukaryotic cells. Like prokaryotic genomes, mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes neither bind with histone-like proteins nor show complex packaging into chromosome-like structures, as observed in eukaryotes. Unlike mitotic cell divisions observed in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • Plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) exhibit complex structural variations, unlike the typical single circular structure in animals.
  • Assembling the complete plant mitogenome remains a significant challenge in evolutionary biology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel graph-based sequence assembly toolkit (GSAT) for constructing high-quality mitochondrial master graphs (MMGs).
  • To analyze the pan-structural landscape of plant mitogenomes, focusing on model species like rice and Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • To evaluate the impact of nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (NUMTs) and mitochondrial plastid DNA segments (MTPTs) on mitogenome structure assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a graph-based sequence assembly toolkit (GSAT).
  • Construction of mitochondrial master graphs (MMGs) for Oryza sativa and Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • Analysis of MMG lengths, contigs, links, and circular structures.
  • Evaluation of the influence of NUMTs and MTPTs on homologous structure frequency.

Main Results:

  • GSAT successfully constructed MMGs for rice (346,562 bp, 9 contigs, 12 links) and thale cress (358,041 bp, 6 contigs, 8 links).
  • MMGs were divisible into minimum master and secondary circles.
  • NUMTs significantly affected frequency evaluation in thale cress but had a weaker effect in rice; MTPTs had no effect.
  • MMG structures were found at higher frequencies than non-MMG structures, supporting multiple dominant circular and linear molecules.

Conclusions:

  • The developed GSAT provides an efficient and accurate model for assembling plant mitogenomes.
  • This approach enables comprehensive assessment of pan-structural variations in plant mitogenomes.
  • The findings advance our understanding of plant mitogenome complexity and evolution.
