  • Sequence logo sketch - university exam question

    I am doing an exam question, its looking for a position frequency matrix and then to sketch a sequence logo.

    I understand the matrix but I am unsure about the calculations for logo. As far as I know their formula for sequence logo is incorrect and should be ''2 + ...'' instead of ''2 - ...''
    So for the second column if I use the correct formula, I get G=1.58 C=1.5 A=1.625 and then I have to multiply each of these by their frequencies to get the actual information content heights. So G will now be 0.99 bits, C will be 0.375 and A will be 0.2
    Therefore my logo in that column at the bottom will have a small A to the height of 0.2 bits, then a C to a height of 0.575 (0.375 + 0.2) and G to a height of 1.565 bits (0.99 + 0.375 + 0.2)

    Am I correct with this?

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
