Using Drosophila melanogaster as a Model for Genotoxic Chemical Mutational Studies with a New Program, SnpSift

Pablo Cingolani, Viral Patel, Melissa Coon et al. · 1 Jan 2012

This paper describes a new program SnpSift for filtering differential DNA sequence variants between two or more experimental genomes after genotoxic chemical exposure. Here, we illustrate how SnpSift can be used to identify candidate phenotype-relevant variants including single nucleotide polymorphisms, multiple nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions, and deletions (InDels) in mutant strains isolated from genome-wide chemical mutagenesis…

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Technologies and Related Computational Data Analysis

Geng Chen, Baitang Ning, Tieliu Shi · 5 Apr 2019

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies allow the dissection of gene expression at single-cell resolution, which greatly revolutionizes transcriptomic studies. A number of scRNA-seq protocols have been developed, and these methods possess their unique features with distinct advantages and disadvantages. Due to technical limitations and biological factors, scRNA-seq data are noisier and more complex than bulk…

Novel R tools for analysis of genome-wide population genetic data with emphasis on clonality

Zhian N. Kamvar, Jonah C. Brooks, Niklaus J. Grà ⁄ nwald · 10 Jun 2015

To gain a detailed understanding of how plant microbes evolve and adapt to hosts, pesticides, and other factors, knowledge of the population dynamics and evolutionary history of populations is crucial. Plant pathogen populations are often clonal or partially clonal which requires different analytical tools. With the advent of high throughput sequencing technologies, obtaining genome-wide population…

Non-coding RNA: what is functional and what is junk?

Alexander F. Palazzo, Eliza S. Lee · 26 Jan 2015

The genomes of large multicellular eukaryotes are mostly comprised of non-protein coding DNA. Although there has been much agreement that a small fraction of these genomes has important biological functions, there has been much debate as to whether the rest contributes to development and/or homeostasis. Much of the speculation has centered on the genomic regions…

Predicting Diabetes Mellitus With Machine Learning Techniques

Quan Zou, Kaiyang Qu, Yamei Luo et al. · 6 Nov 2018

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. It may cause many complications. According to the growing morbidity in recent years, in 2040, the world's diabetic patients will reach 642 million, which means that one of the ten adults in the future is suffering from diabetes. There is no doubt that this alarming figure…
