WeavePop: Un flujo de trabajo de bioinformática para explorar y analizar variantes genómicas de poblaciones
bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology
|September 2, 2025
Resumen
Desarrollamos WeavePop, un flujo de trabajo reproducible para analizar variantes genómicas en organismos haploides. Esta herramienta simplifica el descubrimiento de variantes e integra los resultados en una base de datos explorable.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La genómica
- La bioinformática
- Biología computacional
Sus antecedentes:
- El análisis de variantes genómicas a partir de datos de secuenciación de lectura corta es complejo y difícil de reproducir.
- Los métodos existentes requieren múltiples pasos y herramientas computacionales, lo que dificulta la coherencia entre proyectos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar un flujo de trabajo reproducible y escalable para el análisis de variantes genómicas en organismos haploides eucariotas.
- Simplificar la identificación y la exploración de variantes pequeñas y variantes de número de ejemplares dentro de una población.
Principales métodos:
- Desarrolló WeavePop, un flujo de trabajo Snakemake para el análisis de variantes genómicas.
- El flujo de trabajo incluye la alineación de muestras, el ensamblaje y la anotación basados en referencias, y la identificación de variantes (variantes pequeñas y variantes de número de copias).
- Los resultados se integran en una base de datos compartible con una interfaz gráfica web.
Principales resultados:
- WeavePop permite el análisis de variantes genómicas reproducibles y escalables.
- El flujo de trabajo identificó con éxito pequeñas variantes y variantes de número de copias en una gran colección de aislamientos de Cryptococcus neoformans.
- La base de datos integrada y la interfaz web facilitan la exploración de las variantes a nivel de población.
Conclusiones:
- WeavePop proporciona una solución aerodinámica y robusta para el descubrimiento de variantes genómicas en eucariotas haploides.
- El flujo de trabajo mejora la reproducibilidad y la accesibilidad del análisis de variantes, ayudando a los estudios de genética de poblaciones.
- Esta herramienta simplifica los análisis genómicos complejos, haciendo que el descubrimiento de variantes sea más sencillo para los investigadores.

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons
6.1K
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...

Genomics
37.4K
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...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
14.1K
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...

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes
47.6K
Eukaryotes have large genomes compared to prokaryotes. To fit their genomes into a cell, eukaryotic DNA is packaged extraordinarily tightly inside the nucleus. To achieve this, DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, which are packaged into nucleosomes that are joined by linker DNA and coil into chromatin fibers. Additional fibrous proteins further compact the chromatin, which is recognizable as chromosomes during certain phases of cell division.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
17.9K
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%...

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...
