Genomics

36.0K
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...

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...

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

7.5K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.5K
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...

What is Population Genetics?

57.6K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

87.6K
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
  • Bioinformatics
  • Comparative Genomics

Background:

  • Traditional linear reference genomes have limitations in representing the full spectrum of genetic diversity within a species.
  • Pangenomes aim to encompass all genomic variations within a population, offering a more complete representation.
  • Current terminology for describing different types of pangenomes is inconsistent, leading to confusion in the research community.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the concept of pangenomes for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
  • To address the ambiguity in current pangenome terminology.
  • To propose a formalization of language for describing pangenomes to enhance clarity and specificity in scientific discourse.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on pangenome construction and application.
  • Analysis of current terminology used in pangenomics research.
  • Development of a proposed glossary and framework for standardized pangenome description.

Main Results:

  • Identification of the limitations of linear reference genomes.
  • Demonstration of the diverse types of genomic information encompassed by the term 'pangenome'.
  • Proposal of a formalized language and glossary to differentiate pangenome types.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized language is crucial for clear communication and advancement in pangenomics research.
  • The proposed formalization will benefit both experienced researchers and newcomers to the field.
  • Adoption of consistent terminology will facilitate more precise discussions and comparisons of pangenome studies.
