Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

15.3K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.1K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Leaky Scanning02:28

Leaky Scanning

5.2K
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA.  Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Translational Regulation01:29

Translational Regulation

45
Translational regulation in prokaryotes ensures efficient protein synthesis by controlling ribosome access to mRNA. This regulation is mediated by secondary RNA structures, including translational riboswitches, RNA thermometers, and small RNAs (sRNAs), which respond to intracellular and environmental signals to modulate gene expression.Translational RiboswitchesRiboswitches in the leader region of mRNAs can regulate translation by altering the accessibility of the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence,...

Viruses with RNA Genomes01:29

Viruses with RNA Genomes

56
RNA viruses are categorized into positive-strand, negative-strand, or double-stranded groups based on their genomic structure and replication mechanisms. This classification dictates how they exploit host cellular machinery for protein synthesis and replication. Some RNA viruses also utilize reverse transcription as part of their life cycle, further diversifying their replication strategies.Positive-Strand RNA VirusesPositive-strand RNA viruses have genomes that function directly as messenger...

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, utilize subgenomic messenger RNAs (sgRNAs) for gene expression.
  • sgRNAs are synthesized via discontinuous transcription involving template switching at Transcription Regulatory Sequences (TRS).
  • Both canonical (c-sgRNA) and non-canonical (nc-sgRNA) forms of sgRNAs exist, with nc-sgRNAs being less abundant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of bioinformatic tools for identifying, characterizing, and quantifying SARS-CoV-2 sgRNAs.
  • To address the need for reliable and broadly applicable software for analyzing next-generation sequencing (NGS) data of sgRNAs.
  • To underscore the significance of sgRNA research for elucidating viral expression strategies and identifying potential biomarkers of viral activity.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of sequence data generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS).
  • Application and evaluation of bioinformatic tools for sgRNA identification and characterization.
  • Comparative assessment of existing software for reliability and platform compatibility.

Main Results:

  • Currently, few bioinformatic tools exist for comprehensive sgRNA analysis.
  • The reliability and applicability of existing tools across different NGS platforms require thorough validation.
