Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

89.1K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Downsampling01:20

Downsampling

169
When considering a sampled sequence with zero values between sampling instants, one can replace it by taking every N-th value of the sequence. At these integer multiples of N, the original and sampled sequences coincide. This process, known as decimation, involves extracting every N-th sample from a sequence, thereby creating a more efficient sequence.
The Fourier transform of the decimated sequence reveals a combination of scaled and shifted versions of the original spectrum. This...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

11.2K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Fast Fourier Transform01:10

Fast Fourier Transform

355
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a computational algorithm designed to compute the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) efficiently. By breaking down the calculations into smaller, manageable sections, the FFT significantly reduces the computational complexity involved. Direct computation of an N-point DFT requires N2 complex multiplications, whereas the FFT algorithm needs only (N/2)log⁡2N multiplications, offering a much faster performance.
The computational efficiency of the FFT becomes...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Data Compression

Background:

  • Increasing throughput of sequencing instruments leads to massive data storage and transmission costs.
  • Existing sequencing data compression tools often lack sufficient compression ratios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel framework for compressing sequencing data with a higher compression ratio.
  • To introduce repaq, a lossless non-reference compressor for FASTQ files.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step compression framework: repackaging data into a binary stream, then compressing with LZMA.
  • Development of a new encoding strategy for LZMA compression.
  • Implementation of FPGA-accelerated LZMA for faster compression.
  • Introduction of a multifile redundancy elimination method for paired-end data.

Main Results:

  • Repaq achieves significantly higher compression ratios compared to other FASTQ compressors.
  • Compression ratios exceeding 25 were observed for deep sequencing data, outperforming Gzip by nearly four times.
  • The framework is adaptable for compressing various sequencing data formats.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed two-step framework and repaq offer a substantial improvement in sequencing data compression.
  • FPGA acceleration enhances the practical applicability of the compression method.
  • The repaq compressor provides an efficient solution for managing large-scale sequencing data.
