Multi-species Conserved Sequences02:51

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

3.9K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Telomeres and Telomerase

23.3K
In eukaryotic DNA replication, a single-stranded DNA fragment remains at the end of a chromosome after the removal of the final primer. This section of DNA cannot be replicated in the same manner as the rest of the strand because there is no 3’ end to which the newly synthesized DNA can attach. This non-replicated fragment results in gradual loss of the chromosomal DNA during each cell duplication. Additionally, it can induce a DNA damage response by enzymes that recognize single-stranded...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

9.9K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

7.1K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Chromosomal position can influence gene transcriptional regulation.
  • Telomeres, the ends of chromosomes, are known to affect gene expression across genomic distances (telomere position effect over long distances - TPE-OLD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational framework for identifying genes likely influenced by their chromosomal position.
  • To provide a user-friendly web interface for exploring gene positional properties across species, focusing on telomere proximity.
  • To enable researchers to assess gene susceptibility to position effects like TPE-OLD.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computational framework with adjustable scoring methods to evaluate positional variation.
  • Implementation of a web interface for exploring human genes and their orthologs.
  • Ranking of candidate genes based on positional properties and susceptibility to position effects.
  • Evaluation of the method using TPE-OLD as a case study.
  • Inclusion of enrichment analyses for user-provided gene lists.

Main Results:

  • A framework is presented for suggesting genes influenced by chromosomal position.
  • The framework allows exploration of gene positions relative to telomeres across species.
  • Candidate genes susceptible to position effects, such as TPE-OLD, can be identified and analyzed.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework aids in identifying genes affected by their genomic location.
  • Researchers can utilize the tool to investigate positional effects on gene regulation, particularly TPE-OLD.
  • The study provides a valuable resource for exploring gene position and its regulatory impact across species.
