Bioinformatics Analysis for Gastrointestinal Research
Introduction
The gastrointestinal tract is the body's largest immune organ and the body's largest detoxification organ. The gastrointestinal tract refers to the digestive tract from the stomach pylorus to the anus. Common gastrointestinal diseases are: gastritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, appendicitis, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. Nowadays, the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases is high, and its long course, difficult treatment, and recurrent attacks are all characteristics of gastrointestinal diseases. Due to the complex pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases, the genetic mechanism of its biological research has brought many difficulties. In addition, there are a large number of microorganisms inhabiting the human intestines, which play an important role in digestion and absorption, energy metabolism, immune regulation, and disease resistance, and are related to the occurrence and development of many diseases. The study of intestinal flora by biological means is of great significance for clinical treatment.
Application of Bioinformatics in the Research of Gastroenterology
With the development of sequencing technology and the arrival of the post-genome era, molecular biologists can conduct more detailed gastrointestinal disease research through the data analysis of DNA (genome), mRNA (transcriptome), microorganisms (metagenomics) and protein sequences (proteome). For example, the analysis of proteomics data provides a new and effective research method for studying protein-level life activities. Through the differential analysis of protein expression in different tissues or samples, it can reflect the changes in protein expression of birth objects at different times and states, analyze and compare the changes and differences of the proteome under different conditions, discover and identify the different components of the proteome under different physiological conditions, and reveal certain biological phenomena and the law of disease occurrence. In addition, the gastrointestinal flora gene chip and metagenomic sequencing data are analyzed to provide a data basis for the research on the gastrointestinal flora and provide references for clinical research. Bioinformatics continues to be used in the research of various gastrointestinal diseases, and plays a huge role in elucidating the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
