Automated sequencing machines, particularly those made by PE Applied Biosystems, use 4 colors, so they can read all 4 bases at once. All the Genes? • Any human gene can now be found in the genome by similarity searching with over 95% certainty. • However, the sequence still has many gaps – unlikely to find an uninterrupted genomic segment for any gene – still can’t identify pseudogenes with certainty • This will improve as more sequence data accumulates Finding Genes in genome Sequence is Not Easy • About 2% of human DNA encodes functional genes. • Genes are interspersed among long stretches of non-coding DNA. • Repeats, pseudo-genes, and introns confound matters Impact on Bioinformatics • Genomics produces high-throughput, highquality data, and bioinformatics provides the analysis and interpretation of these massive data sets. • It is impossible to separate genomics laboratory technologies from the computational tools required for data analysis. Six basic questions about genomes [1] how is a genome sequenced? [2] when is the project finished? [3] sequence one individual or many? [4] what information is in the DNA? [5] how many genes are in the genome? [6] how can whole genomes be compared? [1] Genome projects: sequencing strategies Hierarchical shotgun method Assemble contigs from various chromosomes, then sequence and assemble them. A contig is a set of overlapping clones or sequences from which a sequence can be obtained. The sequence may be draft or finished. A contig is thus a chromosome map showing the locations of those regions of a chromosome where contiguous DNA segments overlap. Contig maps are important because they provide the ability to study a complete, and often large segment of the genome by examining a series of overlapping clones which then provide an unbroken succession of information about that region. Scaffold: an ordered set of contigs placed on a chromosome. Shotgun An approach used to decode an organism's genome by shredding it into smaller fragments of DNA which can be sequenced individually. The sequences of these fragments are then ordered, based on overlaps in the genetic code, and finally reassembled into the complete sequence. The 'whole genome shotgun' method is applied to the entire genome all at once, while the 'hierarchical shotgun' method is applied to large, overlapping DNA fragments of known location in the genome. http://www.genome.gov/glossary.cfm 3. Whole Genome Shotgun Sequencing genome cut many times at random • plasmids (2 – 10 Kbp) • cosmids (40 Kbp) ~500 bp forward-reverse linked reads known dist ~500 bp ARACHNE: Whole Genome Shotgun Assembly 1. Find overlapping reads 2. Merge good pairs of reads into longer contigs 3. Link contigs to form supercontigs 4. Derive consensus sequence ..ACGATTACAATAGGTT.. http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/wga/ [2] When is the project finished? Get five to ten-fold coverage Finished sequence: a clone insert is contiguously sequenced with high quality standard of error rate 0.01%. There are usually no gaps in the sequence. Draft sequence: clone sequences may contain several regions separated by gaps. The true order and orientation of the pieces may not be known. Repetitive DNA sequences: five classes [1] Interspersed repeats: transposon-derived repeats -- 45% of human genome; LTR, SINE, LINE [2] Processed pseudogenes [3] Simple sequence repeats -- micro- and minisatellites -- ACAAACT, 11 million times in a Drosophila -- Human genome has 50,000 CA dinucleotide repeats [4] Segmental duplications (about 5% of human genome) [5] Tandem repeats (e.g. telomeres, centromeres) • LINE and SINE repeats. A LINE (long interspersed nuclear element) encodes a reverse transcriptase (RT) and perhaps other proteins. Mammalian genomes contain an old LINE family, called LINE2, which apparently stopped transposing before the mammalian radiation, and a younger family, called L1 or LINE1, many of which were inserted after the mammalian radiation (and are still being inserted). A SINE (short interspersed nuclear element) generally moves using RT from a LINE. Examples include the MIR elements, which co-evolved with the LINE2 elements. Since the mammalian radiation, each lineage has evolved its own SINE family. Primates have Alu elements and mice have B1, B2, etc. The process of insertion of a LINE or SINE into the genome causes a short sequence (721 bp for Alus) to be repeated, with one copy (in the same orientation) at each end of the inserted sequence. Alus have accumulated preferentially in GC-rich regions, L1s in GC-poor regions. What is the function of nongenic DNA? Hypotheses: • Nongenic DNA performs essential functions, such as regulation of gene expression. • Nongenic DNA is inert, genetically and physiologically. Excess DNA is incidental and is called “junk DNA.” • Nongenic DNA is a functional parasite or selfish DNA (retrotransposons). • Nongenic DNA has a structural function. Clasificación del ADN FUNCIONAL (secuencias que cumplen una función) - Codante (se traducen en proteínas) -No codante (no se traducen) * Transcrito (cumple función a nivel de RNA: subun. ribos.) * No transcrito (cumple función a nivel de DNA: intrón, promotor, enhancer, etc.) NO-FUNCIONAL (secuencias que no cumplen ninguna función: “Junk DNA” – basura) Gene-finding algorithms Homology-based searches (“extrinsic”) Rely on previously identified genes Algorithm-based searches (“intrinsic”) Investigate nucleotide composition, openreading frames, and other intrinsic properties of genomic DNA DNA intron RNA Mature RNA protein Homology-based searching: compare DNA to expressed genes (ESTs) DNA intron RNA RNA protein DNA RNA Algorithm-based searching: compare DNA in exons (unique codon usage) to introns (unique splices sites) to noncoding DNA. Identify open reading frames (ORFs). [6] how can whole genomes be compared? -- molecular phylogeny -- You can BLAST (or PSI-BLAST) all the DNA and/or protein in one genome against another -- We looked at TaxPlot and COG for bacterial (and for some eukaryotic) genomes Orthologue & Paralogue • Orthologue- homologous genes with identical function in different organisms. • Paralogue- homologous genes in the same organism originated from gene duplication.
