From DNA to Protein03:06

From DNA to Protein

18.3K
The flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to mRNA to protein is described by the central dogma, which states that genes specify the sequence of mRNAs, which in turn specify the sequence of amino acids making up all proteins. The decoding of one molecule to another is performed by specific proteins and RNAs. Because the information stored in DNA is so central to cellular function, it makes intuitive sense that the cell would make mRNA copies of this information for protein synthesis...

DNA as a Genetic Template

21.9K
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

9.8K
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 Conversion

9.7K
Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

17.7K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Evolution

Background:

  • Previous research identified a maximal C3 self-complementary trinucleotide circular code (X) in bacterial and eukaryotic genes.
  • Understanding dinucleotide occurrences within codon sites is crucial for deciphering genetic code properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze dinucleotide occurrences across the three codon sites (1-2, 2-3, 1-3).
  • To identify and characterize circular codes within these dinucleotide patterns.
  • To explore the evolutionary relationship between dinucleotide and trinucleotide codes.

Main Methods:

  • Computation of codon usage for large gene sets from bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes.
  • Application of a method previously used to identify trinucleotide circular codes.
  • Analysis of dinucleotide occurrences at specific codon positions (1-2, 2-3, 1-3).

Main Results:

  • Discovery of two distinct dinucleotide circular codes in codon sites 1-2 and 2-3, which are shifted versions of each other.
  • Identification of a circular, self-complementary dinucleotide code in codon site 1-3, derived from the projection of trinucleotide code X.
  • Demonstration that trinucleotide code circularity and self-complementarity are induced by underlying dinucleotide codes.

Conclusions:

  • The findings reveal novel dinucleotide circular codes within gene structures.
  • These dinucleotide codes appear to be fundamental to the properties of trinucleotide codes.
  • The study proposes evolutionary pathways for the emergence of trinucleotide codes from dinucleotide codes.
