New high-throughput sequencing technologies make it possible to apply sequence-based approaches in an unanticipated number of fields. In the field of evolutionary genetics, it is now feasible to apply sequencing-based approaches for a wide range of comparative genomic studies. For example, high-throughput sequencing can be applied to study the genomes from ancient specimens of different hominin...

MOTIVATION High-throughput sequencing technologies produce very large amounts of data and sequencing errors constitute one of the major problems in analyzing such data. Current algorithms for correcting these errors are not very accurate and do not automatically adapt to the given data. RESULTS We present HiTEC, an algorithm that provides a highly accurate, robust and fully automated method t...

This protocol describes how to perform the tissue culture and high-throughput sequencing library preparation for a CRISPR-based screen. First, pantropic lentivirus is prepared from a single guide RNA (sgRNA) plasmid pool and applied to the target cells. Following antibiotic selection and a harvest of the initial population, cells are then cultured under the desired screening condition(s) for 14...

Novel high throughput sequencing technologies have redefined the way genome sequencing is performed. They are able to produce millions of short sequences in a single experiment and with a much lower cost than previous methods. In this paper, we address the problem of efficiently mapping and classifying millions of degenerate and weighted sequences to a reference genome, based on whether they oc...

A high throughput technique used to determine a part of the nucleotide sequence an organism’s genome is called next generation sequencing (NGS). NGS has been Proven revolutionary in genomics. Clinical diagnostics, Plant diseases diagnostic and other aspects medical are now made possible by sequencing. Techniques NGS: there different techniques which being real life sciences i.e., Illumina seque...

We have identified new genomic alterations in the breast cancer cell line HCC1954, using high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. With 120 Mb of cDNA sequences, we were able to identify genomic rearrangement events leading to fusions or truncations of genes including MRE11 and NSD1, genes already implicated in oncogenesis, and 7 rearrangements involving other additional genes. This approach de...

Chemically engineered small molecules targeting specific genomic sequences play an important role in drug development research. Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides (PIPs) are a group of molecules that can bind to the DNA minor-groove and can be engineered to target specific sequences. Their biological effects rely primarily on their selective DNA binding. However, the binding mechanism of PIPs at the ...

Proteins and their interactions are essential for the survival of each human cell. Knowledge of their tissue occurrence is important for understanding biological processes. Therefore, we analyzed microarray and high-throughput RNA-sequencing data to identify tissue-specific and universally expressed genes. Gene expression data were used to investigate the presence of proteins, protein interacti...

Connectivity determines the function of neural circuits. Historically, circuit mapping has usually been viewed as a problem of microscopy, but no current method can achieve high-throughput mapping of entire circuits with single neuron precision. Here we describe a novel approach to determining connectivity. We propose BOINC ("barcoding of individual neuronal connections"), a method for converti...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY High-throughput sequencing of genomic DNA can recover complete chloroplast genome sequences, but the sequence data are usually dominated by sequences from nuclear/mitochondrial genomes. To overcome this deficiency, a simple enrichment method for chloroplast DNA from small amounts of plant tissue was tested for eight plant species including a gymnosperm and various angiosper...
