概括

我们所有人的研究计划中的长读序列 (LRS) 揭示了与疾病相关的复杂结构变异 (SV),特别是在非洲裔美国人群中. 这推动了精准医学的进步,因为它揭示了以前通过短读测序错过的遗传洞察力.

科学领域:

基因组学和生物信息学
人类遗传学人类遗传学
精准医学是一门精准的医学.

背景情况:

我们所有人的研究计划 (AoU) 旨在建立一个国家生物库,将基因组数据与电子健康记录 (EHR) 联系起来.
短读全基因组测序 (srWGS) 在检测复杂结构变异 (SV) 方面存在局限性.

研究的目的:

介绍 AoU 中长读序列 (LRS) 的第一个大规模分析.
开发一个框架来获得有关人类健康和疾病的SV的基因组洞察力.
将SV归纳到现有的srWGS数据集中,用于特征关联研究.

主要方法:

使用太平洋生物科学HiFi技术,对1027名自称黑人或非洲裔美国人的LRS数据进行联合分析.
开发队列级别的变量调用和用于SV归算的可扩展工作流程.
分析了10,000名AoU参与者与srWGS和匹配的EHR的SV疾病关联.

主要成果:

从LRS数据中构建了一个包括重复扩展,临床相关的单元型 (例如,HLA,CYP2D6) 和SVs在内的综合变异调用集.
在226种疾病中确定了291种SV疾病关联,其中50.9%涉及srWGS中缺席的SV.
精细测绘确定了191对SV疾病对,其中SV是最强的关联驱动因素,特别是在非洲血统的个体中.

结论:

LRS为srWGS错过的复杂的SV提供了关键的基因组洞察力,影响了对人类健康和疾病的理解.
开发的归算框架使大队伍中可扩展的SV分析成为可能.
将LRS集成到像AoU这样的生物库中,对于精准医学来说具有变革性的意义,特别是对于在基因组研究中代表性不足的祖先.

RNA-seq

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...

Next-generation Sequencing

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.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....
