Introduction to bioinformatics databases and on-line tools

The goal of this excercise is to

• see results of bioinformatics research in the form of on-line tools used by many biologists
• get to know some basic tools in case you might want to try your algorithms on biology data
• review some of the topics from the lectures

NCBI, Genbank, Pubmed, blast

• National Center for Biotechnology Information http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
• Collects publicly available data in molecular biology
• We can search for keywords in various databases
• BLAST finds alignments of query sequence and a specified sequence database
  • convenient, because no need to download large database, but also very slow
• Try sequence below at http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi
  • the sequence is from the human genome but we will try to find its homolog in chicken
  • choose nucleotide blast, database reference genomic sequence, organism chicken (taxid:9031), program blastn)
  • on which chromosome is the best chicken homolog, what is alignment length, score, E-value, identity level?

UCSC genome browser

• http://genome.ucsc.edu/
• nice interface for browsing genomes, lot of data for some genomes (particularly human), but not all sequenced genomes represented
• also allows custom queries and data download

Basics

• on the front page choose Genomes in the top blue menu bar
• select genome and its version, optionally enter position or keyword, press submit
• on the browser screen top image shows chromosome map, selected region in red
• below a view of selected region and various track with information pertaining to these regions
• tracks can be switched on and off and configured in the bottom part of the page
  • different display levels, full contains all information but takes a lot of vertical space
• navigation at the top (move, zoom, etc.)
• various actions in the menu
• clicking at the browser figure allows you to get more information

Blat

• Instead of BLAST, UCSC genome browser uses faster but less sensitive BLAT (good for the same or very closely related species)
• Go to http//genome.ucsc.edu/, choose Blat in the top blue menu bar, enter DNA sequence above, search in the human genome
  • What is the identity level for the top found match? What is its span in the genome? (Notice that other matches are much shorter)
  • Using Details link in the left column you can see the alignment itself, Browser link takes you to the browser at the matching region
• Go to the browser, switch on Vertebrate net/chain on full
  • this track allows you to move to corresponding parts of other genomes
  • in the chicken chain notice chromosome number of the corresponding region in chicken
• Optionally, you can try to use BLAT to map the query to the chicken genome directly
  • on the blue bar press genomes, choose vertebrate and chicken, then blat on the top bar in submenu Tools
  • what is not idemtity level and span of the best match? Is it on the same chromosome? How does it compare with the values obtained at NCBI?

Sequencing

• UCSC genome browser has numbered version of individual genomes - errors and missing parts are fixed over time
• Go to genome.ucsc.edu, choose Genomes in the Blue bar, select human, see when were the last version of the human genome added
  • if you are interested in detail, each assembly has a description at the bottom of the page
• Go to the browser for human assembly hg19, region chr2:110,000,000-110,300,000, you can use this link: [1]
• Display tracks "Assembly" and "Gap" in the full mode.
  • What is the length of the unsequenced gap in the middle? (you can click on the gap to get details; only an estimate, not sequenced in this assembly)
  • This gaps is closed in the most recent assembly hg38. You can have a look by transfering to corresponding region in hg38 - click on the blue bar View -> In other genomes (convert), seelect hg38. Notice that the length of the region shrank from 300,000 to 158,880. So the gap length estimate was not very accurate.

Komparativna genomika

• V casti multiz alignments vidite zarovnania k roznym inym genomom (da sa zapinat, ze ku ktorym). Mozete si pozriet, ako sa uroven zarovnania zmeni ked sa priblizujeme a vzdalujeme (zoom in/zoom out).
• Ked sa priblizite spat na gen MAGEA2B a potom tak, aby ste boli na urovni "base", t.j. zobrazenych cca 100bp, v obdlzniku multiz alignment uvidite zarovnanie s homologickym usekom v inych genomoch. Konkretne v MAGEA2B vidime pomerne dost rozdielov v proteine medzi clovekom a makakom rezus, vdaka ktorym bol zrejme klasifikovany ako pod pozitivnym vyberom.
• V casti conservation by PhyloP vidime graf toho, ako silne su zachovane jednotlive stlpce zarovnania
• Da sa zapnut track Placental Chain/Net a pozriet sa na ktorych chromozomoch je ortologicky usek v inych genomoch

Objavenie génu HAR1 pomocou komparatívnej genomiky

• Pollard KS, Salama SR, Lambert N, et al. (September 2006). "An RNA gene expressed during cortical development evolved rapidly in humans". Nature 443 (7108): 167–72. doi:10.1038/nature05113. PMID 16915236. pdf
• Zobrali všetky regióny dĺžky aspoň 100bp s > 96% podobnosťou medzi šimpanzom a myšou/potkanom (35,000)
• Porovnali s ostatnými cicavcami, zistili, ktoré majú veľa mutáci v človeku, ale málo inde (pravdepodobnostný model)
• 49 štatisticky významných regiónov, 96% nekódujúcich oblastiach
• Najvýznamnejší HAR1: 118nt, 18 substitúcii u človeka, očakávali by sme 0.27. Iba 2 zmeny medzi šimpanzom a sliepkou (310 miliónov rokov), ale nebol nájdený v rybách a žabe.
• Nezdá sa byť polymorfný u človeka
• Prekrývajúce sa RNA gény HAR1R a HAR1F
• HAR1F je exprimovaný v neokortexe u 7 a 9 týždenných embrií, neskôr aj v iných častiach mozgu (u človeka aj iných primátov)
• Všetky substitúcie v človeku A/T->C/G, stabilnejšia RNA štruktúra (ale tiež sú blízko k telomére, kde je viacej takýchto mutácii kvôli rekombinácii a biased gene conversion)
• Môžete si pozrieť tento region v browseri: chr20:61,203,911-61,204,071 (hg18), pricom ak sa este priblizite, uvidite zarovnanie aj s bazami a mozete vidiet, ze vela zmien je specifickych pre cloveka
• Vynimkou je slon, niektore zmeny v slonovi su sposobene nizkou kvalitou sekvencie. Ked pomocou nastroja In other genomes (convert) v polozke View na hornej liste premapujete do novsej verzie ludskeho genomu (hg19), uvidite, ze aj v najnovsej verzii genomu slona su mnohe zmeny, nechyba tam uz vsak cast sekvencie, ako vo verzii pouzitej v hg18.

Práca s tabuľkami, sťahovanie anotácií

• Položka Tables na hornej lište umožnuje robiť rafinované veci s tabuľkami, ktoré obsahujú súradnice génov a pod.
• Základná vec: vyexportovať napr. všetky gény v zobrazenom výseku v niektorom formáte:
  • sequence: fasta súbor proteínov, génov alebo mRNA s rôznymi nastaveniami
  • GTF: súradnice
  • Hyperlinks to genome browser: klikacia stránka
• Namiesto exportu si môžeme pozrieť rôzne štatistiky

• Zložitejšie: prienik dvoch tabuliek, napr. gény, ktoré sú viac než 50% pokryté simple repeats
  • V intersection zvolíme group: Variation and repeats, track: RepeatMasker, nastavíme records that have at least 50% overlap with RepeatMasker
  • V summary/statistics zistíme, kolko ich je v genóme, môžeme si ich preklikať cez Hyperlinks to genome browser

• Filter na tabuľku, napr. gény, ktoré majú v názve ribosomal (postup pre drozofilu):
  • V casti hg19.kgXref based filters políčko description dáme *ribosomal*

Populacna genomika v UCSC genome browseri

UCSC genome browser ma viacero trackov tykajucich sa populacnej genomiky a polymorfizmov

• Pozrite si napriklad region chr2:174,862-436,468 v hg19
• V casti Phenotype and Disease Associations si zapnite GAD view
• V casti Variation and Repeats si zapnite
  • HGDP Allele Freq na Pack (po kliknuti na SNP zobrazi mapu sveta s distribuciou alel)
  • "DGV Struct Var" na Pack
• Track Genome Variants obsahuje genomy niekolkych ludi, napr Jima Watsona
• Takisto sa da pozriet genom ludi z jaskyne Denisova a Neandertalcov

V starsej verzii ludskeho genomu je aj trojuholnikovy graf linkage disequilibria

• region vyssie premapovany do hg18
• zapnite "HapMap LD Phased" na Full (cast Variation and Repeats)
• vsimnite si, ze miery LD sa medzi ludskymi podpopulaciami lisia (YRI: Nigeria; CEU: Europa; JPT+CHB: Japonsko, Cina)

Browser diverzity u S.cerevisae:

• [2]

Phylogenetic trees, mobyle portal

Preparing data, skip

• UCSC browser allows us to download multiple alignments of individual genes (DNA or protein sequences). Skip the following steps, the resulting alignment can be downloaded here: http://compbio.fmph.uniba.sk/vyuka/mbi-data/cb06/cb06-aln.fa
  • In UCSC browser find gene PDE7B (phosphodiesterase 7B)
  • In the blue bar choose Tools->Table browser, track RefSeq genes, select Region: position, and Output fomat: CDS FASTA alignment and press Get output
  • At the next screen select show nucleotides. From primates select chimp, rhesus, tarsier, from other mammals mouse, rat, dog, elephant and from other species opposum, platypus, chicken, lizard, press Get output.
  • Output store on a file, remove common prefix NM_018945_ from sequence names, or completely rewrite species names

Building tree

• Skusme zostavit strom na stranke http://mobyle.pasteur.fr/cgi-bin/portal.py
• Pouzijeme program quicktree, metodu neighbor joining, bootstrap 100
• Na zobrazenie stromu vysledok dalej prezenieme cez zobrazovacie programy drawtree alebo newicktops (zvolit v menu pri tlacidle further analysis)
  • Vysledok z drawtree, nezakoreneny, nezobrazuje bootstrap hodnoty
  • Vysledok z newicktops, zakoreneny na nahodnom mieste (nie spravne) zobrazuje bootstrap hodnoty
  • v drawtree sme nastavili sme formát výstupu MS-Windows Bitmap a X,Y resolution aspoň 1000, v newicktops sme nastavili show bootstrap values
• "Spravny strom" [3] v nastaveniach Conservation track-u v UCSC browseri (podla clanku Murphy WJ, Eizirik E, O'Brien SJ, Madsen O, Scally M, Douady CJ, Teeling E, Ryder OA, Stanhope MJ, de Jong WW, Springer MS. Resolution of the early placental mammal radiation using Bayesian phylogenetics. Science. 2001 Dec 14;294(5550):2348-51.)
• Nas strom ma long branch attraction (zle postavenie hlodavcov, ktori maju dlhu vetvu aj slona, co moze byt zapricene sekvenovacimi chybami).
• Ine programy, ktore mozete skusit na mobyle
  • phyml: metoda maximalnej vierohodnosti (daju sa nastavit detaily modelu, bootstraps, ktory ale moze dost dlho trvat, typy operacii na strome pri heuristickom hladani najlepsieho stromu)
  • dnapars alebo protpars na parsimony
  • viacnasobne zarovnanie pomocou clustalw alebo modernejsou alternativou muscle
  • Ak chcete skusat zarovnania, zacnite z nezarovnanych sekvencii: http://compbio.fmph.uniba.sk/vyuka/mbi-data/cb06/cb06-seq.fa

Pfam domain database

Pfam database http://pfam.sanger.ac.uk/ contains profile HMMs of protein domain families. Use Sequence search at this webpage to find which domains are in our protein.

Then study in more detail zf-C4 domain which should be among the results. In Summary tab we can see description of the domain as well as Gene ontology (GO) terms. In HMM logo tab we can see the graphical representation of the HMM for this family. Which amino acid is most frequent at positions 3 and 6 of this domain?

PDB dababase for protein structures

Use Sequence search at http://www.rcsb.org/ to find the closest homolog with known structure. You see an overview of the structure, download the file with coordinates, but also can find e.g. the paper where the structure was published and secondary structure (alpha helices, beta sheets).

Uniprot database of proteins

Uniprot http://www.uniprot.org/ organizes known information about function, structure and other aspects of individual proteins from all organisms. Use BLAST at this webpage to find which protein was used in this excercise (it should have 100% sequence identity in BLAST results). Which protein it comes from and what is its name? Proteins denoted by golden star in BLAST results have detailed information available. Which is the closest homolog with the star?

UCSCS genome browser

The browser http://genome.ucsc.edu/ allows us to explore the gene encoding this protein and its genomic context. Enter the protein sequence to BLAT search in the blue bar and find its closest homolog in the human genome. Which chromosome is the gene at? How many exons does it have? Switch on track Placental Chain/Net in Comparative Genomics section and find out which mouse chromosome contains homolog of this gene (color key of chromosomes is located below the main figure).
