Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

17.4K
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%...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.6K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

6.1K
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...

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

87.7K
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.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Area of Science:

  • Genomics and Bioinformatics
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Background:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with rare or de novo structural variations in 5%-10% of families.
  • Current methods like microarray and short-read sequencing often fail to fully characterize complex structural variants and their breakpoints at nucleotide resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To utilize Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION long-read genome sequencing to characterize complex genomic rearrangements (CGRs) in ASD families.
  • To resolve breakpoint junctions at nucleotide resolution and investigate the impact of these rearrangements on gene activity and methylation.

Main Methods:

  • Employed long-read genome sequencing (PromethION) to analyze CGRs in 13 carriers from five ASD families.
  • Resolved breakpoint junctions at nucleotide resolution for identified CGRs.
  • Analyzed methylation status directly from long-read data across rearranged loci.

Main Results:

  • Successfully resolved all breakpoint junctions at nucleotide resolution for the investigated CGRs.
  • Identified potential fusion genes (e.g., IL1RAPL1-DMD, SUPT16H-CHD8) resulting from duplication rearrangements.
  • Detected an identical founder variant involving ANK2 in two families from the same region and aberrant methylation in a CREBBP locus rearrangement.

Conclusions:

  • Nanopore sequencing is highly effective in pinpointing CGRs associated with ASD.
  • This approach provides nucleotide-level resolution for complex structural variations, aiding in understanding disease mechanisms.
  • Highlights the importance of a gene-centric approach to describing complex chromosomal rearrangements in ASD.
