Mismatch Repair

7.1K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

7.3K
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

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.

Improving Translational Accuracy

15.6K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Third-generation sequencing (TGS) error correction often uses multiple sequence alignment (MSA). Our MSA Limit pipeline reveals that popular MSA methods aren't always optimal, and the best choice depends on sequencing data characteristics.

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Third-generation sequencing (TGS) technologies generate long reads but with higher error rates.
  • Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is crucial for processing TGS data and mitigating errors.

  • To guide users in selecting optimal MSA tools for their specific TGS experimental settings.

Main Methods:

  • Developed MSA Limit, an automated pipeline for executing and evaluating various MSA methods.
  • Tested the pipeline using both real and simulated TGS datasets.
  • Analyzed alignment accuracy, computational time, and memory consumption across different MSA tools.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that popular MSA methods do not consistently perform optimally for TGS data.
  • Showcased that the most effective MSA method is context-dependent, varying with sequencing depth, genome features, and error profiles.
  • Highlighted the utility of MSA Limit in uncovering performance variations among MSA algorithms.
