Telomeres and Telomerase

22.9K
In eukaryotic DNA replication, a single-stranded DNA fragment remains at the end of a chromosome after the removal of the final primer. This section of DNA cannot be replicated in the same manner as the rest of the strand because there is no 3’ end to which the newly synthesized DNA can attach. This non-replicated fragment results in gradual loss of the chromosomal DNA during each cell duplication. Additionally, it can induce a DNA damage response by enzymes that recognize single-stranded...

Next-generation Sequencing

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.

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Sanger Sequencing

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...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics and Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Telomeres protect eukaryotic chromosome ends but exhibit sequence divergence across species.
  • Existing bioinformatic tools struggle to identify novel telomeric motifs in many sequencing libraries.
  • Short sequencing reads lack positional context, hindering motif discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for identifying novel telomeric repeat motifs using long sequencing reads.
  • To overcome the limitations of current short-read-based bioinformatic tools for telomere research.
  • To explore the evolutionary divergence of telomeric sequences.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of the TeloSearchLR algorithm.
  • Utilizing the positional information inherent in long sequencing reads.
  • Comparative analysis with existing short-read search tools.

Main Results:

  • TeloSearchLR successfully identifies novel telomeric motifs where short-read tools fail.
  • The algorithm can detect unusually long telomeric motifs not maintained by telomerase.
  • TeloSearchLR assists in anchoring terminal scaffolds for genome assembly.

Conclusions:

  • Long-read sequencing and TeloSearchLR offer a powerful approach for discovering diverse telomeric repeat motifs.
  • This method advances our understanding of telomere evolution and genome structure.
  • TeloSearchLR has practical applications in genomics and chromosome research.
