Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

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...
Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

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%...
DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...
Nucleic Acid Structure01:25

Nucleic Acid Structure

The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms  a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.

Genetic Variation01:25

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences found among individuals of the same species. This diversity is crucial for a species' survival because it helps organisms adapt to environmental changes. Genetic variation begins with fertilization, where an egg and sperm cell merge. Each of these cells carries 23 chromosomes, up to 46 in the fertilized egg. Chromosomes are long DNA strands that contain genes, the basic units of heredity.
Genes exist in different versions called alleles, which...
Modern Molecular Taxonomy01:29

Modern Molecular Taxonomy

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Single-cell DNA methylation (scDNAm) sequencing offers high-resolution epigenetic profiling.
  • Trajectory inference tracks genomic changes across cell states.
  • Existing methods lack pseudotime methylation modeling for scDNAm data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel hierarchical Bayesian framework for scDNAm data analysis.
  • To model methylation changes along pseudotime and identify differentially methylated genes.
  • To provide a tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and developmental processes.

Main Methods:

  • Developed mist (methylation inference for single-cell along trajectory), a hierarchical Bayesian framework.
  • Implemented stage-specific variation modeling and differential methylation analysis.
  • Validated through simulations and application to multi-omics developmental datasets.

Main Results:

  • mist demonstrates superior accuracy in detecting differential methylation along pseudotime compared to existing methods.
  • The framework successfully identifies key developmental regulators in mouse and human brain development.
  • Identified methylation patterns align with observed lineage transitions during development.

Conclusions:

  • mist provides a robust method for analyzing scDNAm data along developmental trajectories.
  • The tool facilitates the discovery of novel epigenetic regulators in complex biological systems.
  • mist is available as an R/Bioconductor package for broader scientific use.
