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...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

5.7K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Next-generation Sequencing

88.4K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Genomics

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...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

4.9K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

753.8K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Pangenome analysis can be misleading due to irrelevant genetic variants. This study introduces a new method to impute personalized pangenome subgraphs, significantly improving variant genotyping accuracy for both short and long reads.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Pangenomes offer improved genetic diversity representation over single references.
  • Comparing samples to pangenomes can introduce errors from irrelevant variants, often filtered by allele frequency, which is suboptimal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel approach for accurate variant genotyping within pangenome graphs.
  • To address the challenge of irrelevant variants in pangenome comparisons.

Main Methods:

  • Imputation of a personalized pangenome subgraph by sampling local haplotypes.
  • Utilizing k-mer counts from sequencing reads for imputation.
  • Implementation within the vg toolkit for the Giraffe short-read aligner.

Main Results:

  • Reduced small variant genotyping errors by fourfold compared to Genome Analysis Toolkit.
  • Achieved short-read structural variant genotyping accuracy competitive with long-read methods.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method enhances the accuracy of pangenome-based variant calling.
  • This approach improves the utility of pangenomes for diverse genomic analyses.
