Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

19.0K
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.

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.2K
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...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.6K
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:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) link genetic variations to gene expression and complex traits.
  • TWAS performance relies on genome-wide association study (GWAS) sample size and gene expression prediction accuracy.

Approach:

  • Introduced Summary-level Unified Method for Modeling Integrated Transcriptome using Functional Annotations (SUMMIT-FA).
  • Leveraged functional annotation resources (MACIE database) and large expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) summary data.
  • Developed gene expression prediction models using SUMMIT-FA with eQTLGen consortium data.

Key Points:

  • SUMMIT-FA significantly enhances gene expression prediction model accuracy, particularly in whole blood.
  • The method identifies substantially more gene-trait associations compared to existing approaches.
  • SUMMIT-FA improves the predictive power for identifying key genes in complex traits.

Conclusions:

  • SUMMIT-FA represents a significant advancement in gene expression prediction for TWAS.
  • The approach offers improved power for genetic discovery in complex traits.
  • Functional annotations are crucial for boosting the accuracy of gene-trait association studies.
