  • Improving the Prediction of Transcription Factor Binding Sites To
    Improving the prediction of transcription factor binding sites to aid the interpretation of non-coding single nucleotide variants. Narayan Jayaram Research Department of Structural and Molecular Biology University College London A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration I, Narayan Jayaram confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Narayan Jayaram 2 Abstract Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) that occur in transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) can disrupt the binding of transcription factors and alter gene expression which can cause inherited diseases and act as driver SNVs in cancer. The identification of SNVs in TFBSs has historically been challenging given the limited number of experimentally characterised TFBSs. The recent ENCODE project has resulted in the availability of ChIP-Seq data that provides genome wide sets of regions bound by transcription factors. These data have the potential to improve the identification of SNVs in TFBSs. However, as the ChIP-Seq data identify a broader range of DNA in which a transcription factor binds, computational prediction is required to identify the precise TFBS. Prediction of TFBSs involves scanning a DNA sequence with a Position Weight Matrix (PWM) using a pattern matching tool. This thesis focusses on the prediction of TFBSs by: (a) evaluating a set of locally-installable pattern-matching tools and identifying the best performing tool (FIMO), (b) using the ENCODE ChIP-Seq data to evaluate a set of de novo motif discovery tools that are used to derive PWMs which can handle large volumes of data, (c) identifying the best performing tool (rGADEM), (d) using rGADEM to generate a set of PWMs from the ENCODE ChIP-Seq data and (e) by finally checking that the selection of the best pattern matching tool is not unduly influenced by the choice of PWMs.

  • Applied Category Theory for Genomics – an Initiative
    Applied Category Theory for Genomics { An Initiative Yanying Wu1,2 1Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, University of Oxford, UK 2Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford, UK 06 Sept, 2020 Abstract The ultimate secret of all lives on earth is hidden in their genomes { a totality of DNA sequences. We currently know the whole genome sequence of many organisms, while our understanding of the genome architecture on a systematic level remains rudimentary. Applied category theory opens a promising way to integrate the humongous amount of heterogeneous informations in genomics, to advance our knowledge regarding genome organization, and to provide us with a deep and holistic view of our own genomes. In this work we explain why applied category theory carries such a hope, and we move on to show how it could actually do so, albeit in baby steps. The manuscript intends to be readable to both mathematicians and biologists, therefore no prior knowledge is required from either side. arXiv:2009.02822v1 [q-bio.GN] 6 Sep 2020 1 Introduction DNA, the genetic material of all living beings on this planet, holds the secret of life. The complete set of DNA sequences in an organism constitutes its genome { the blueprint and instruction manual of that organism, be it a human or fly [1]. Therefore, genomics, which studies the contents and meaning of genomes, has been standing in the central stage of scientific research since its birth. The twentieth century witnessed three milestones of genomics research [1]. It began with the discovery of Mendel's laws of inheritance [2], sparked a climax in the middle with the reveal of DNA double helix structure [3], and ended with the accomplishment of a first draft of complete human genome sequences [4].

    Janet Thornton Bioinformatician avant la lettre Michael Gross B ioinformatics is very much a buzzword of our time, with new courses and institutes dedicated to it sprouting up almost everywhere. Most significantly, the flood of genome data has raised the gen- eral awareness of the need to deve-lop new computational approaches to make sense of all the raw information collected. Professor Janet Thornton, the current director of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), an EMBL outpost based at the Hinxton campus near Cambridge, has been in the field even before there was a word for it.
