Special section on Epigenomics. Compbio.mit.edu - MIT Computational Biology Group. Comparative analysis of multiple genomes in a phylogenetic framework dramatically improves the precision and sensitivity of evolutionary inference, producing more robust results than single-genome analyses can provide.

The genomes of 12 Drosophila species, ten of which are presented here for the first time (sechellia, simulans, yakuba, erecta, ananassae, persimilis, willistoni, mojavensis, virilis and grimshawi), illustrate how rates and patterns of sequence divergence across taxa can illuminate evolutionary processes on a genomic scale. These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.

In some genes the protein-coding sections of the DNA ("exons") are interrupted by non-coding regions ("introns"). RNA splicing removes the introns from pre mRNA to produce the final set of instructions for the protein. Transcript: As DNA is transcribed into RNA it needs to be edited to remove non-coding regions, or introns, shown in green. This editing process is called splicing, which involves removing the introns, leaving only the yellow, protein-coding regions, called exons.

Focusing on the cell permits a detailed understanding of the tissues and organisms that cells compose. Some organisms have only one cell, while others are organized into cooperative groups with huge numbers of cells. On the whole, cell biology focuses on the structure and function of a cell, from the most general properties shared by all cells, to the unique, highly intricate functions particular to specialized cells.

Genome sequence assembly primer. The ability of an assembly program to produce a single contig is also limited by regions of the genome that occur in multiple near-identical copies throughout the genome (repeats).

Genome sequence assembly primer

The reads originating from different copies of a repeat appear identical to the assembler and cause assembly errors. A simple example is shown in Figure 5, where the assembler incorrectly collapses the two copies of repeat A leading to the creation of two contigs instead of one (Figure 6). Greedy assemblers - The first assembly programs followed a simple but effective strategy in which the assembler greedily joins together the reads that are most similar to each other.

An example is shown in Figure 8, where the assembler joins, in order, reads 1 and 2 (overlap = 200 bp), then reads 3 and 4 (overlap = 150 bp), then reads 2 and 3 (overlap = 50 bp) thereby creating a single contig from the four reads provided in the input.

Our goal is to produce smart bioinformatics tools that will engage life scientists in a more effective computational biology: developing visual analysis tools that provide fast, easy-to-use access to bioinformatic data collections and high performance computing facilities; providing clean and accessible ways for non-programmers to assemble collections of components to produce custom analytic systems; bridging the gap between data sets stored in standard office documents on the individual desktop and scientific knowledge collections distributed across the planet.

Food is digested and broken down in many controlled chemical steps, capturing chemical energy along the way. Much of the machinery of the cell is involved in this process in one way or another, including the digestion of proteins and nucleic acids into their components, breakage of these molecules into carbon dioxide, water and other small molecules, and the linkage of this breakdown with the formation of energy-storing molecules like ATP.
