Genomics

36.4K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

End Point Prediction: Gran Plot01:07

End Point Prediction: Gran Plot

344
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...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

13.5K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Classification of Illness

7.5K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Human Genetics

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Understanding phenotype-genotype relationships is key in biology and medicine.
  • The omnigenic model suggests core genes mediate trait effects, influenced by peripheral regulatory networks.
  • Identifying core genes is essential for understanding disease mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational method for predicting core-like genes associated with diseases.
  • To validate the predicted core-like genes using external biological data.
  • To identify novel druggable targets for therapeutic development.

Main Methods:

  • A positive-unlabeled graph representation learning ensemble approach was developed.
  • Nested cross-validation was used for training and prediction.
  • Mouse knockout phenotypes were employed for external validation.

Main Results:

  • Predicted core-like genes showed disease-relevant phenotypes in mouse knockouts, similar to Mendelian genes.
  • Candidate genes exhibited core gene properties: transcriptional deregulation and loss-of-function intolerance.
  • Identified genes are enriched for druggable targets, including many currently untargeted ones.

Conclusions:

  • The graph learning approach effectively predicts core-like genes.
  • These predicted genes represent promising, druggable targets for future drug development.
  • The study highlights the potential of computational methods for biological interpretation and drug discovery.
