Genetic Variation

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences found among individuals of the same species. This diversity is crucial for a species' survival because it helps organisms adapt to environmental changes. Genetic variation begins with fertilization, where an egg and sperm cell merge. Each of these cells carries 23 chromosomes, up to 46 in the fertilized egg. Chromosomes are long DNA strands that contain genes, the basic units of heredity.
Genes exist in different versions called alleles,...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

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...

End Point Prediction: Gran Plot

End Point Prediction: Gran Plot

A Gran plot is used to predict the equivalence volume or endpoint of a potentiometric or acid-base titration without reaching the endpoint. Typically, titration data is collected as a function of the titrant's volume up to a point less than the equivalence volume and then transformed into a linear format. The straight line is extended to the x-axis, indicating the necessary titrant volume to achieve the equivalence point.
For potentiometric titration, the Gran plot is created by plotting...

To improve the specificity and efficiency of variant classification compared to existing in silico methods.

Main Methods:

Developed DL-RP-MDS, integrating protein structural and thermodynamic information derived from Ramachandran plot-molecular dynamics simulation (RP-MDS).
Employed an unsupervised learning model (auto-encoder) and a neural network classifier to identify patterns in structural changes.

Main Results:

DL-RP-MDS demonstrated higher specificity in classifying variants of TP53, MLH1, and MSH2 genes compared to over 20 widely used in silico methods.
The system effectively identifies statistical significance patterns of structural changes induced by genetic variants.
