1 Gene Finding Genome Annotation

2 Gene finding is a cornerstone of genomic analysis Genome content and organization Differential expression analysis Epigenomics Population biology & evolution Medical genomics

3 Basic Approaches Computational Absolute rules: start and stop codons Statistical probabilities: which codon is a true start? Introns splice junctions codon usage Experimental Comparison with known genes/proteins (BLAST) Expressed sequence tags RNAseq data

4 Computational Gene Prediction Statistical properties of protein-coding genes differ from those of non-coding sequence Long ORFs On average stop codons should occur 3 times in every 64 codons (~1/21) Codon bias (human) codon Amino acid % ACA Thr 28 ACC Thr 36 ACG Thr 12 ACU Thr 24

5 Gene features tend to occur in specific sequence contexts a. Splice acceptor sites b. Splice donor sites c. Translation starts d. Splice acceptor sites for A. thaliana genes predicted using C. elegans parameters from Korf(2004)

6 Many of the ab initio gene finders use Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) HMMs Contain parameters defining probabilities that specific gene features occur in different sequence contexts They can be used to predict transcription start sites Intron splice junctions Poly-A addition sites promoters

7 Standard practice is to perform gene predictions with multiple programs We will run two programs in today s exercise: SNAP Korf (2004) Gene finding in novel genomes BMC Bioinformatics 5:59 AUGUSTUS Stanke et al (2004) AUGUSTUS: a web server for gene finding in eukaryotes. Nucl. Acids Research 32:W309

8 Gene validation Independent evidence that our candidate gene is, in fact, a gene Conserved protein motifs Blast matches Expressed sequence tags RNAseq reads

9 For today s exercise We will use the following evidences: Genes/proteins already identified in M.oryzae (many being well supported by blast, EST and other transcriptomic data) Splice junction information from the RNAseq mapping that we performed yesterday

10 Information overload!!! Results from: SNAP AUGUSTUS Magnaporthe genes Magnaporthe proteins RNAseq mapping data How are we going to make sense out of these highly redundant datasets?

11 Enter MAKER Synthesizes multiple forms of gene prediction data Predictions and evidences Outputs a single, consistent set of genes and gene models, including quality values Uses a standard gene annotation format GFF3 (related to the GTF format used yesterday) Results can be imported into a genome browser
