Flow Cytometry

13.2K
The development of flow cytometry techniques began in 1934 with initial attempts by Andrew Moldavan, a bacteriologist who counted the cells in a flowing capillary system. Moldavan pumped cells through a capillary tube focused under a microscope for visualization. The invention of photometry allowed the measurement of differentially-stained cells, and Louis Kamentsky developed the first multiparameter flow cytometer in 1965 to identify and count the cancer cells in cervical tissue specimens.

Plasmids

47
Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA molecules found in bacteria, archaea, and some eukaryotic microbes like yeast. These small, circular DNA structures typically contain fewer than 30 genes, although some may exist linearly. Plasmids vary in their number within a cell, known as copy number. Single-copy plasmids are present in one copy per cell and multi-copy plasmids are present in multiple copies, reaching over 100 copies per cell.Plasmids usually replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Plasmid detection is crucial for understanding antimicrobial resistance spread.
  • Short-read sequencing assemblies often fragment plasmids and chromosomes into contigs, complicating plasmid identification.
  • Existing plasmid binning methods include de novo and reference-based approaches, each with limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved method for plasmid contig binning using assembly graph information.
  • To accurately distinguish plasmid contigs from chromosomal contigs and group plasmid contigs into distinct bins.

Main Methods:

  • PlasBin-flow, a hybrid method, models contig bins as subgraphs within the assembly graph.
  • It employs a mixed integer linear programming model incorporating network flow for sequencing coverage.
  • The model also considers plasmid gene content and GC content for improved accuracy.

Main Results:

  • PlasBin-flow was evaluated on a real dataset of bacterial samples.
  • The method leverages assembly graph structures to enhance plasmid binning accuracy.
  • Performance was demonstrated on actual bacterial sample data.

Conclusions:

  • PlasBin-flow offers a novel hybrid approach to plasmid binning.
  • Utilizing assembly graph information improves the accuracy of distinguishing and binning plasmid contigs.
  • The method shows promise for applications in tracking antimicrobial resistance through plasmid analysis.
