What the heck is bioinformatics? Interdisciplinary field combining statistics and computer science to understand biology. Came about with the huge increase in biological data with the sequencing of proteins and genomes. Essentially, we generate too much data for humans to parse through and interpret, so computers are used.

Know your -omics Bioinformatics is primarily used to study the “omics” Genomics Proteomics Transcriptomics Metabolomics

Why is this important in everyday life? This kind of –omic research has far reaching implications for medicine, agriculture, and science. Targeted cancer therapies, personalized medicine, rapid infection identification, genetic manipulation, etc. are already in use, though it is early. In the future, who knows what we can find in the depths of the genome of humans and other organisms.

In a First, Test of DNA Finds Root of Illness 14 year old male was infected by a bacteria they couldn’t culture. Sequencing and analysis has become fast enough for them to sequence the bacteria’s DNA to identify both the organism and the treatment – Penicillin. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/05/health/in-first-quick-dna-test-diagnoses-a-boys-illness.html?hpw&rref=us

Who knew cancer had an off switch? http://www.cbsnews.com/news/genetic-sequencing-could-change-cancer-treatment-forever/ http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/wolchok-video-who-knew-cancer-has-an-off-switch-video/ New cancer treatments sequence the cancer DNA to find out what went wrong or potential for “on/off switches” for specific, targeted therapies.

Microbiome Many bacteria cannot be cultured. Bioinformatics and metagenomic sequencing allows for insight into such systems as the gut, mouth, and skin microbiome. Implications for treatment for diabetes, skin conditions, dentistry, gastrointestinal disorders etc.

SPIDERGOAT!!!!!! http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-16554357 HOLY CRAP! SPIDERGOAT!!!! Utah State University managed to insert a gene into a goat that adds a protein that can be extracted to produce spider silk.

Genetics as a Discovery Science The great new frontier in biology lies on the small scale Bioinformatics is used to discover new genes, microorganisms, proteins, etc. by parsing through the gold mine of genetic data

Important Areas Sequencing Assembly Gene Finding Annotation Alignment Databases Protein Structure/Interaction Prediction Metagenomics

Sequencing In order to obtain genetic information, the DNA must be sequenced first. There are many methods of doing this, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Most don’t read the DNA continuously, but build it in fragments, which has to be assembled in to longer reads called contigs.

Sanger Sequencing This was the first method of sequencing and was the standard for 25 years. Now supplanted by next gen sequencing, but is still used for small scale projects. Works by adding in a small amount of fluorescent or radioactively labeled nucleotides that cannot be bonded to again, producing fragments of varying length. These fragments then undergo gel electrophoresis to separate the fragments.

Next Gen Sequencing and the 1000$ genome Right now, sequencing is still too expensive for entire genomes, so much of the work done now sequences smaller sections. The goal of the 1000$ genome is to make sequencing cheap and fast enough so that every person could feasibly have their genome sequenced. This one here is Proton, using Ion torrent sequencing. Detects changes in pH as bases are added. Other names include Illumina and PacBio

Assembly Source: http://gcat.davidson.edu/phast/debruijn.html Most sequencing technologies don’t produce one long read, so the fragments must be assembled. This process often requires powerful computers to do in a timely fashion. There are still a few problems with this, especially when the sequence has repeated regions. Source: http://gcat.davidson.edu/phast/debruijn.html

Gene Finding Once the section of DNA has been sequenced, genes are found using pattern recognition. They look for a start codon downstream of a Shine-Delgarno (prokaryotes) or Kozak (eukaryotes) consensus sequence. Then looks for the potential stop codons as well as introns and exons (eukaryotes) Also look for promoter sequences for transcripts

Annotation Experimentally figuring out what a particular gene does is costly and at times difficult or impossible to do. Annotation is used to make an educated guess about what it does by comparing it to similar sequences, following the axiom of structure yielding function i.e. something with a similar sequence is likely to have a similar function

Protein Structure Prediction Like with gene prediction, the prediction of a proteins structure is difficult and costly, so many algorithms have been developed to attempt to predict structure from a sequence. Pretty good at predicting secondary structure. Not as good at tertiary or quaternary. Also working on predicting protein interactions.

Alignment In order to search for, annotate, or find genes, they have to be aligned against others. This is where things like BLAST come in. BLAST, or Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, uses an pairwise alignment algorithm to compare a sequence to other sequences one at a time in a particular database, whether that sequence be protein or gene. BLAST is the most commonly used one, but isn’t the best.

Multiple Alignment By aligning multiple sequences at once, phylogeny of organisms or proteins can be determined, as long as those sequences really are similar. 16S multiple alignments is often what is used to determine prokaryotic phylogeny, where the definition of species is funky. 16S is used as it is highly conserved and is found in all prokaryotic organisms. Later we will do one with a eukaryotic phylogeny

Databases Bioinformatics also seeks to compile huge collections of similar data in order to consolidate information in one place. It also has to be organized in such a way that is useful to other scientists. These databases include things like UniProt, SEED, KEGG, RCSB/PDB etc. All of those listed make great resources for creating your own activities

Metagenomics Many bacteria can’t be cultured, so much of the picture of the microbiome is hazy. Metagenomics is the shotgun or grenade approach Sequence everything below a certain size cell. Gives insight into the genetics of unculturable organisms

Activity Go on the SM2 website and locate the instructions for the activity There are 6 different prokaryotic operons, each containing multiple gene sequences. Organize yourselves into 6 groups and try to figure out the probable function of each gene and what organism it comes from. Then search NCBI for papers on one of the genes functions. Discuss with the group and the class what you learned.

NCBI ORF Finder This looks for potential genes in a particular DNA sequence Does this by looking for start codons, then continues until it hits a stop codon. Searches in 6 “frames” as codons are triplets and for “backwards sequences”. All are possible sites for translation.

What do the BLAST scores mean? E- Value: The probability of finding an equal or better match by chance. Query Cover: % of the query sequence length that is included in the aligned segment with that result. Identity: percent similarity Total score: Sum of the alignment scores from all segments from the same database that match the query sequence. This will only differ from the mx score if several parts of the database sequence match different parts of the query sequence. Blast Page

Take home message With faster sequencing and increased genetic and proteomic research, bioinformatics becomes more and more important. Right now we are literally producing too much data to go through. Bioinformatics provides computational methods to utilize these massive datasets for practical use in medicine and science. This is the direction that all genetic and proteomic research is going and will eventually become standard practice to teach when teaching genetics. For now, this makes a great addition for teaching genetics by getting the students working with sequences. Activities can be designed around Central Dogma to teach how genetic information flows in living systems and how scientists today gather and use that information.
