Unraveling Genetic Mysteries with Proformer: A Hybrid Macaron Transformer Model
ByDeotima Chakraborty March 4, 2024October 22, 2026

The ability to comprehensively decode the cis-regulatory logic that controls the expression values is made possible by the revolutionary high-throughput measurement of the cis-regulatory activity of millions of randomly produced promoters. Researchers from the University of Minnesota developed an end-to-end transformer encoder architecture called Performer to predict the expression values from DNA sequences. Proformer is…

Unlock the Potential of DeepMod2: A Deep Learning Framework for Precise DNA Methylation Analysis using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing
ByDeotima Chakraborty February 27, 2024October 22, 2026

Reduced representation methylation sequencing for CpG islands or imprinted areas is made possible by Oxford Nanopore sequencing, which offers a distinct advantage over other techniques by identifying DNA methylations from the ionic current signal of individual molecules. Here, scientists present DeepMod2, a thorough deep-learning framework that uses the ionic current signal from Nanopore sequencing to…

Mount Sinai Researchers Introduce mEnrich-seq: A New Approach to Enriching Taxa of Interest in Microbiomes
ByDeotima Chakraborty January 8, 2024January 8, 2024

In this study, researchers at Icahn School of Medicine developed mEnrich-seq, a method that can enrich taxa of interest from metagenomic DNA before sequencing. This is introduced as existing technologies could only sequence the desired bacterial taxa (pathogens, beneficial microorganisms, or low-abundance taxa), and not the large background of other taxa in a microbiome sample…

Scientists Assemble the First Complete Human Y Chromosome Sequence: A Milestone in Genomics Research
ByNeegar Naushaba Iqbal August 26, 2023August 29, 2023

The sequencing and assembly of the human Y chromosome have been challenging due to its intricate repeat structure, which encompasses lengthy palindromes, tandem repeats, and segmental duplications. The existing GRCh38 reference sequence lacks over half of the Y chromosome’s content, leaving it as the final unfinished human chromosome. Addressing these limitations, the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium…

NT-seq – A New Sequencing Technique for Genome-Wide Mapping of Different Types of DNA Methylation
ByDr. Tamanna Anwar July 3, 2022July 3, 2022

Baylor College of Medicine researchers introduce a new sequencing technique ‘NT-seq’ for simultaneously mapping all three forms of DNA methylation. All known methylation motifs in Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori genomes were reliably detected by NT-seq, which may also be utilized to find de novo methylation motifs. NT-seq offers a quick and effective way for genome-wide mapping of different…
