Long-read sequence and assembly of segmental duplications [PDF]

open access: yesNature Methods, 2018
We have developed a computational method based on polyploid phasing of long sequence reads to resolve collapsed regions of segmental duplications within genome assemblies. Segmental Duplication Assembler (SDA; https://github.com/mvollger/SDA ) constructs graphs in which paralogous sequence variants define the nodes and long-read sequences provide ...

long-read-tools.org: an interactive catalogue of analysis methods for long-read sequencing data [PDF]

open access: yesGigaScience, 2021
Abstract Background The data produced by long-read third-generation sequencers have unique characteristics compared to short-read sequencing data, often requiring tailored analysis tools for tasks ranging from quality control to downstream processing.

lra: A long read aligner for sequences and contigs

open access: yesPLOS Computational Biology, 2021
It is computationally challenging to detect variation by aligning single-molecule sequencing (SMS) reads, or contigs from SMS assemblies. One approach to efficiently align SMS reads is sparse dynamic programming (SDP), where optimal chains of exact matches are found between the sequence and the genome.

Long-read sequence assembly of the gorilla genome [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2016
Improving on the gorilla genome Access to complete, high-quality genomes of nonhuman primates will also help us understand human biology. Gordon et al. used long-read sequencing technology to improve genome data on our close relative the gorilla.

Long-Read Sequencing for the Metagenomic Analysis of Microbiomes

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2023
One technology, long-read sequencing, and one research field, microbiome studies, have risen to prominence over the last decade. But how can one be used in the other? What changes are being wrought? And what limitations remain? [Graphic: see text]

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Can long-read sequencing tackle the barriers, which the next-generation could not? A review

open access: yesPathology and Oncology Research
The large-scale heterogeneity of genetic diseases necessitated the deeper examination of nucleotide sequence alterations enhancing the discovery of new targeted drug attack points.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Streamlining Quantitative Analysis of Long RNA Sequencing Reads [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Transcriptome analyses allow for linking RNA expression profiles to cellular pathways and phenotypes. Despite improvements in sequencing methodology, whole transcriptome analyses are still tedious, especially for methodologies producing long reads. Currently, available data analysis software often lacks cost- and time-efficient workflows.
