Gene Duplication and Divergence

Gene Duplication and Divergence

The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Tandem mass spectrometry, also known as MS/MS or MS2, is an analytical technique that employs two mass analyzers. Essentially it is a series of mass spectrometers that helps isolate a particular biomolecule and then helps study its chemical properties.
This technique helps gather information regarding the protein from which the peptide was obtained and to study the peptides’ amino acid sequence. Identifying peptides from a complex mixture is an important component of the growing field of...

Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Tandem mass spectrometry is a technique that uses multiple mass analyzers in series to obtain a higher selectivity and signal-to-noise ratio for the analyte. Instruments with multiple analyzers separated by an interaction cell enable secondary fragmentation and selected study of the fragment ions.
Secondary fragmentations occur in the interaction cell and can be induced by various factors. Fragmentation induced by collision with inert gases, such as N2, Ar, He, etc., is called collision-induced...

Polytene Chromosomes

Polytene Chromosomes

Polytene chromosomes are giant interphase chromosomes with several DNA strands placed side by side. They were discovered in the year 1881 by Balbiani in salivary glands, intestine, muscles, malpighian tubules, and hypoderm of larvae Chironomus plumosus. Hence, these are also called "Salivary gland chromosomes." These are found in insects of the order Diptera and Collembola; in certain organs of mammals; and synergids, antipodes of flowering plants. Polytene chromosomes are also...

Structural Variations

Background:

Tandem duplications (TDs) are significant structural variations (SVs) implicated in gene evolution and human diseases.
Current SV detection methods often fail to accurately identify TDs, misclassifying them as insertions due to a lack of specialized algorithms.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel module, Pindel-TD, for precise detection of tandem duplications.
To enhance the capability of the Pindel tool for identifying TDs across a wide size range at single nucleotide resolution.

Main Methods:

Development of Pindel-TD, a tandem duplication detection module utilizing a TD-specific pattern growth approach.
Evaluation using simulated and real sequencing data (HG002), comparing performance against leading SV detection methods.

Main Results:

Pindel-TD demonstrated superior performance over existing methods in precision, recall, F1-score, and robustness.
Application to K562 cancer cell line data identified a TD in the SAGE1 gene's seventh exon, explaining its elevated expression.

Conclusions:

Pindel-TD significantly improves the detection accuracy of tandem duplications, addressing a critical gap in current SV analysis.
This tool offers a valuable resource for research into genetic variation, disease mechanisms, and gene function.
