Book excerpt: Knighting in sequence biology Edward N. Trifonov Genome classification, construction of phylogenetic trees, became today a major approach in studying evolutionary relatedness of various species in their vast - versity. Although the modern genome clustering delivers the trees which are very similar to those generated by classical means, and basic terminology is the same, the phenotypic traits and habitats are not anymore the playground for the classi- cation. The sequence space is the playground now. The phenotypic traits are - placed by sequence characteristics, “words”, in particular. Matter-of-factually, the phenotype and genotype merged, to confusion of both classical and modern p- logeneticists. Accordingly, a completely new vocabulary of stringology, information theory and applied mathematics took over. And a new brand of scientists emerged – those who do know the math and, simultaneously, (do?) know biology. The book is written by the authors of this new brand. There is no way to test their literacy in biology, as no biologist by training would even try to enter into the elite circle of those who masters their almost occult language.

Download or read book Computational Genomics with R written by Altuna Akalin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational Genomics with R provides a starting point for beginners in genomic data analysis and also guides more advanced practitioners to sophisticated data analysis techniques in genomics. The book covers topics from R programming, to machine learning and statistics, to the latest genomic data analysis techniques. The text provides accessible information and explanations, always with the genomics context in the background. This also contains practical and well-documented examples in R so readers can analyze their data by simply reusing the code presented. As the field of computational genomics is interdisciplinary, it requires different starting points for people with different backgrounds. For example, a biologist might skip sections on basic genome biology and start with R programming, whereas a computer scientist might want to start with genome biology. After reading: You will have the basics of R and be able to dive right into specialized uses of R for computational genomics such as using Bioconductor packages. You will be familiar with statistics, supervised and unsupervised learning techniques that are important in data modeling, and exploratory analysis of high-dimensional data. You will understand genomic intervals and operations on them that are used for tasks such as aligned read counting and genomic feature annotation. You will know the basics of processing and quality checking high-throughput sequencing data. You will be able to do sequence analysis, such as calculating GC content for parts of a genome or finding transcription factor binding sites. You will know about visualization techniques used in genomics, such as heatmaps, meta-gene plots, and genomic track visualization. You will be familiar with analysis of different high-throughput sequencing data sets, such as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and BS-seq. You will know basic techniques for integrating and interpreting multi-omics datasets. Altuna Akalin is a group leader and head of the Bioinformatics and Omics Data Science Platform at the Berlin Institute of Medical Systems Biology, Max Delbrück Center, Berlin. He has been developing computational methods for analyzing and integrating large-scale genomics data sets since 2002. He has published an extensive body of work in this area. The framework for this book grew out of the yearly computational genomics courses he has been organizing and teaching since 2015.

The basic and applied science will be of use to researchers, breeders, and advanced students.
Download or read book From Agriculture Genome to Phenome Genome Wide Association Prediction and Selection written by Kefei Chen and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advances in “omics” technologies have enabled unprecedented progress in agricultural and biological sciences. The synergy of high-performance computing, high throughput omics approaches, and high dimensional phenotyping data with high spatial and temporal resolution have demonstrated the capacity to enhance our understanding of biological mechanisms but also to provide powerful insights into dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits with agricultural and economical importance. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a useful approach to identify mutations that underlie diseases and complex traits and has provided important insights in exploring genetic profiles. However, it is less suitable for quantitative traits influenced by a large number of genes with small effects. In addition, false discoveries are a major concern and can be partially attributed to population structure. Genomic selection holds the promise to overcome the limitations by using whole-genome information to predict the genetic merits of phenotypes. It has been a powerful tool for predicting the breeding values of candidates for selection in breeding populations. One of the challenges of genomic prediction of breeding values with large-p-with-small-n regressions is to develop robust and efficient approaches that accurately predict phenotypic traits as functions of genotypic and environmental inputs. In addition, the integration of multi-omics data in phenotypic prediction would offer the opportunity to understand the flow of information that underlies the phenotypic traits.

Download or read book Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics written by Edward R. Dougherty and published by Hindawi Publishing Corporation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in genomic studies have stimulated synergetic research and development in many cross-disciplinary areas. Processing the vast genomic data, especially the recent large-scale microarray gene expression data, to reveal the complex biological functionality, represents enormous challenges to signal processing and statistics. This perspective naturally leads to a new field, genomic signal processing (GSP), which studies the processing of genomic signals by integrating the theory of signal processing and statistics. Written by an international, interdisciplinary team of authors, this invaluable edited volume is accessible to students just entering this emergent field, and to researchers, both in academia and in industry, in the fields of molecular biology, engineering, statistics, and signal processing. The book provides tutorial-level overviews and addresses the specific needs of genomic signal processing students and researchers as a reference book. The book aims to address current genomic challenges by exploiting potential synergies between genomics, signal processing, and statistics, with special emphasis on signal processing and statistical tools for structural and functional understanding of genomic data. The first part of this book provides a brief history of genomic research and a background introduction from both biological and signal-processing/statistical perspectives, so that readers can easily follow the material presented in the rest of the book. In what follows, overviews of state-of-the-art techniques are provided. We start with a chapter on sequence analysis, and follow with chapters on feature selection, classification, and clustering of microarray data. We then discuss the modeling, analysis, and simulation of biological regulatory networks, especially gene regulatory networks based on Boolean and Bayesian approaches. Visualization and compression of gene data, and supercomputer implementation of genomic signal processing systems are also treated. Finally, we discuss systems biology and medical applications of genomic research as well as the future trends in genomic signal processing and statistics research.
