Whole genome composition distance for HIV-1 genotyping.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Existing HIV-1 genotyping systems require a computationally expensive phase of multiple sequence alignments and the alignments must have a sufficiently high quality for accurate genotyping. This is particularly a challenge when the number of strains is large. Here we propose a whole genome composition distance (WGCD) to measure the evolutionary closeness between two HIV-1 whole genomic RNA sequences, and use that measure to develop an HIV-1 genotyping system. Such a WGCD-based genotyping system avoids multiple sequence alignments and does not require any pre-knowledge about the evolutionary rates. Experimental results showed that the system is able to correctly identify the known subtypes, sub-subtypes, and individual circulating recombinant forms.

متن کاملI-37: Establishing High Resolution Genomic Profiles of Single Cells Using Microarray and Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies
The nature and pace of genome mutation is largely unknown. Standard methods to investigate DNA-mutation rely on arraying or sequencing DNA from a population of cells, hence the genetic composition of individual cells is lost and de novo mutation in cell(s) is concealed within the bulk signal. We developed methods based on (SNP-) arraying and next-generation sequencing of single-cell whole-genom...
متن کاملEffects of electron-beam irradiation on whole genome amplification.
Electron-beam (E-beam) irradiation, currently being used to sterilize mail addressed to selected ZIP codes in the United States, has significant negative effects on the genomic integrity of DNA extracted from buccal-cell washes. We investigated the yield, composition, and genotyping performance of whole genome amplified DNA (wgaDNA) derived from 24 matched samples of E-beam-irradiated and nonir...
متن کاملFull-length RNA structure prediction of the HIV-1 genome reveals a conserved core domain
A distance constrained secondary structural model of the ≈10 kb RNA genome of the HIV-1 has been predicted but higher-order structures, involving long distance interactions, are currently unknown. We present the first global RNA secondary structure model for the HIV-1 genome, which integrates both comparative structure analysis and information from experimental data in a full-length prediction ...
متن کاملNucleotide composition string selection in HIV-1 subtyping using whole genomes
MOTIVATION The availability of the whole genomic sequences of HIV-1 viruses provides an excellent resource for studying the HIV-1 phylogenies using all the genetic materials. However, such huge volumes of data create computational challenges in both memory consumption and CPU usage. RESULTS We propose the complete composition vector representation for an HIV-1 strain, and a string scoring met...
