Identification of bacterial antibiotic resistance genes in next-generation sequencing data (review of literature)

The spread of antibiotic-resistant human bacterial pathogens is a serious threat to modern medicine. Antibiotic susceptibility testing is essential for treatment regimens optimization and preventing dissemination of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, development of antibiotic susceptibility testing methods is a priority challenge of laboratory medicine. The aim of this review is to analyze the capabilities of the bioinformatics tools for bacterial whole genome sequence data processing. The PubMed database, Russian scientific electronic library eLIBRARY, information networks of World health organization and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) were used during the analysis. In this review, the platforms for whole genome sequencing, which are suitable for detection of bacterial genetic resistance determinants, are described. The classic step of genetic resistance determinants searching is an alignment between the query nucleotide/protein sequence and the subject (database) nucleotide/protein sequence, which is performed using the nucleotide and protein sequence databases. The most commonly used databases are Resfinder, CARD, Bacterial Antimicrobial Resistance Reference Gene Database. The results of the resistance determinants searching in genome assemblies is more correct in comparison to results of the searching in contigs. The new resistance genes searching bioinformatics tools, such as neural networks and machine learning, are discussed in the review. After critical appraisal of the current antibiotic resistance databases we designed a protocol for predicting antibiotic resistance using whole genome sequence data. The designed protocol can be used as a basis of the algorithm for qualitative and quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility testing based on whole genome sequence data.

Dna Replication Timing

Abstract Motivation Genomic DNA replicates according to a reproducible spatiotemporal program, with some loci replicating early in S phase while others replicate late. Despite being a central cellular process, DNA replication timing studies have been limited in scale due to technical challenges. Results We present TIGER (Timing Inferred from Genome Replication), a computational approach for extracting DNA replication timing information from whole genome sequence data obtained from proliferating cell samples. The presence of replicating cells in a biological specimen leads to non-uniform representation of genomic DNA that depends on the timing of replication of different genomic loci. Replication dynamics can hence be observed in genome sequence data by analyzing DNA copy number along chromosomes while accounting for other sources of sequence coverage variation. TIGER is applicable to any species with a contiguous genome assembly and rivals the quality of experimental measurements of DNA replication timing. It provides a straightforward approach for measuring replication timing and can readily be applied at scale. Availability and Implementation TIGER is available at https://github.com/TheKorenLab/TIGER. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online

Abstract In this study, we detected genome wide footprints of selection in Hanwoo and Angus beef cattle using different allele frequency and haplotype-based methods based on imputed whole genome sequence data. Our dataset included 13,202 Angus and 10,437 Hanwoo animals with 10,057,633 and 13,241,550 imputed SNPs, respectively. A subset of data with 6,873,624 common SNPs between the two populations was used to estimate signatures of selection parameters, both within (runs of homozygosity and extended haplotype homozygosity) and between (allele fixation index, extended haplotype homozygosity) the breeds in order to infer evidence of selection. We observed that correlations between various measures of selection ranged between 0.01 to 0.42. Assuming these parameters were complementary to each other, we combined them into a composite selection signal to identify regions under selection in both beef breeds. The composite signal was based on the average of fractional ranks of individual selection measures for every SNP. We identified some selection signatures that were common between the breeds while others were independent. We also observed that more genomic regions were selected in Angus as compared to Hanwoo. Candidate genes within significant genomic regions may help explain mechanisms of adaptation, domestication history and loci for important traits in Angus and Hanwoo cattle. In the future, we will use the top SNPs under selection for genomic prediction of carcass traits in both breeds.
