Genetic Screens

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Mechanism of Ciliary Motion

Mechanism of Ciliary Motion

The ciliary structures were first seen in 1647 by Antonie Leeuwenhoek while observing the protozoans. In lower organisms, these appendages are responsible for cell movement, while in higher organisms, these appendages help in the movement of the extracellular fluids within the body cavities.
The cilia are made up of microtubules in a 9+2 arrangement, with nine microtubule doublet ring bundles, surrounding a pair of central singlet microtubule bundles. The doublet microtubule bundles are...

Area of Science:

Genomics
Molecular Biology
Bioinformatics

Background:

Cilia play crucial roles in cellular functions and development.
Cilia-related genetic disorders (ciliopathies) often have incomplete genetic diagnoses.
Existing methods for identifying ciliary genes are limited and often rely on single strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a comprehensive method for predicting human ciliary genes.
To improve the accuracy and completeness of genetic diagnoses for ciliopathies.
To create a database of human genes with predicted ciliary function.

Main Methods:

Developed CilioGenics, a novel computational approach.
Integrated single-cell RNA sequencing, protein-protein interaction networks, comparative genomics, transcription factor network analysis, and text mining.
Assigned a CilioGenics score to each human gene indicating its probability of being a ciliary gene.

Main Results:

CilioGenics demonstrates superior performance in predicting ciliary genes compared to single-method approaches.
Identified 258 new ciliary gene candidates within the top 500 predicted genes.
Experimentally validated 31 of these new candidates.

Conclusions:

CilioGenics provides a robust and integrated platform for ciliary gene discovery.
The findings significantly expand the list of known ciliary genes, aiding ciliopathy diagnosis.
The CilioGenics database offers a valuable resource for researchers studying cilia and related diseases.
