Quantifying selection in high-throughput Immunoglobulin sequencing data sets
High-throughput immunoglobulin sequencing promises new insights into the somatic hypermutation and antigen-driven selection processes that underlie B-cell affinity maturation and adaptive immunity. The ability to estimate positive and negative selection from these sequence data has broad applications not only for understanding the immune response to pathogens, but is also critical to determinin...
متن کاملHigh-throughput sequencing of immunoglobulin genes: Life without a template
Immunoglobulin (that is, antibody) and T cell receptor genes are created through somatic gene rearrangement from gene segment libraries. Immunoglobulin genes are further diversified by somatic hypermutation and selection during the immune response. Studying the repertoires of these genes yields valuable insights into immune system function in infections, aging, autoimmune diseases and cancers. ...
متن کاملHigh-throughput transcriptome sequencing: methods development and data analysis of large expression data sets
Template switching (TS) has been an inherent mechanism of reverse transcriptase, which has been exploited in several transcriptome analysis methods, such as CAGE, RNA-Seq and short RNA sequencing. TS is an attractive option, given the simplicity of the protocol, which does not require an adaptor mediated step and thus minimizes sample loss. As such, it has been used in several studies that deal...
متن کاملCompression of Structured High-Throughput Sequencing Data
Large biological datasets are being produced at a rapid pace and create substantial storage challenges, particularly in the domain of high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Most approaches currently used to store HTS data are either unable to quickly adapt to the requirements of new sequencing or analysis methods (because they do not support schema evolution), or fail to provide state of the art com...
متن کاملCharacterizing Transcriptomes from High-Throughput Sequencing Data
The DNA in our cells contains our genetic hereditary information, and is literally the blueprint of our body. The functional units of the genome are regions of continuous DNA sequence, and are called genes. According to the Central Dogma of Biology, the DNA sequence of the gene is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is in turn translated to proteins, which perform most tasks in the c...
