Rumlerová, Tereza ; Škutková, Helena (referee) ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with sequencing technologies with a focus on the second and third generation of sequencers and platforms Illumina Miseq and Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION. There is a description of an assembly of genomes with an example of the assembly of 6 genomes of a bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae and a quality testing of these genomes. The final part contains a theoretical description and a practical implementation of selected methods for comparison of the assembled genomes, which come from two different sequencing platforms.

Bacterial Pan-Genome Analysis
Lorková, Ema Marta ; Škutková, Helena (referee) ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with pan-genome analysis for bacterial populations. The first part specifies genome, pseudogenes, bacteria and its genome, and pan-genome including its components. Following part introduces four tools for pan-genome analysis. Testing of these tools against specific bacterial genome and their comparison is mentioned in practical part. Lastly, an algorithm is implemented for creating new pipeline, and a code and obtained results are described.

Influence of second and third generation sequencers on cgMLST analysis of closely-related bacterial strains.
Slavíček, David ; Sedlář, Karel (referee) ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is about influence of sequncers of second and third generationon cgMLST analysis of bacterial genome. In the theoretical section were described selected sequencers of second and third generation and genome assembly principles. In the practical part were assembled six genomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria from University Hospital Brno. The genomes were sequenced each on two different sequencers, Illumina Miseq and Oxford Nanopore Technologies Minion. The genomes were assembled. Suitable genes were selected and insufficient quality genomes removed for the cgMLST analysis. The cgMLST analysis was performed and the results are shownin graphs.

Comparative and phylogenetic analysis of viruses in the University Hospital Brno
Švestková, Tereza ; Sedlář, Karel (referee) ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the SARs-CoV-2 coronavirus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome, which was first identified in 2019. This coronavirus caused a pandemic that affected almost the entire world. Knowledge of the genetic information is needed for vaccine development, to determine infectivity and to predict the evolution of SARs-CoV-2 variants. To obtain genetic information, RNA must be sequenced and these genomic sequences must be assembled. By comparing the assembled genomes, it is possible to find out which part of the organism has mutated. Phylogenetic analysis is performed on the basis of the concordance or divergence in the assembled genomes, which indicates the evolution of the organism and shows the evolutionary relationship with other organisms. The practical part is focused on the assembly of genomes from samples from patients in the University Hospital Brno and evaluation of the quality of the assembly. After the genomes are assembled, the next goal is to evaluate the variability and subsequent phylogenetic analysis.

Properties of current signals in nanopore sequencing
Plocková, Veronika ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (referee) ; Sedlář, Karel (advisor)
Oxford Nanopore technologies brought new and revolutionary technology in the field of DNA sequencing. Their sequencing device measures changes in the electric current flowing through pores together with DNA. This work aims to describe differences between raw signals produced by various sequencing kits and sequencing flowcells while sequencing several different bacteria. Two datasets combining five different organisms, two sequencing kits, and two types of flowcells were used to analyze various statistical parameters that would be suitable for the description of current signals gathered from nanopores. Finally, the samples were classified using the k-means algorithm and the results were discussed.

Bacterial genotyping based on the oligonucleotide melting temperature
Šandová, Hana ; Škutková, Helena (referee) ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with genotyping based on the oligonucleotide melting temperatures. In the theoretical part, DNA, typing, experimental and theoretical genotyping methods are described. The practical part of the thesis deals with a program that is designed to calculate the melting temperatures of sequences based on different methods, and the graphical user interface was created. In the following part, the measured melting temperatures of bacterial isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae are compared to the theoretically calculated melting temperatures. In the last part of the thesis, the possibility of genotyping using cluster analysis based on the theoretical melting temperatures is explored.

Gene identification in nanopore squiggles
Talanin, Nikita ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (referee) ; Bartoň, Vojtěch (advisor)
Nanopore sequencing is a new and rapidly developing technology that allows for the direct sequencing of single-stranded DNA and RNA in real-time. The result of the sequencing is the so-called squiggle, which is a time series of current intensities as nucleotides pass through the nanopore. Identifying genes in these squiggles is a crucial step for the utilization of this data in genomic studies. This bachelor's thesis focuses on the development and testing of a method for automatic gene identification in squiggles from nanopore sequencing. The aim was to create a system capable of quickly and accurately identifying genes in squiggles, thereby supporting further analysis and interpretation of nanopore sequencing data. The method utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), which have been successfully used in many other areas of bioinformatics. A large dataset of squiggles, labeled according to the gene they represent, was used to train the model. The results show that the system can identify genes in squiggles with a certain level of accuracy and can be an effective tool for nanopore sequencing data analysis

Antibiotic resistance profile determination in hybrid assembled bacterial genomes
Dzurčaninová, Natália ; Škutková, Helena (referee) ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (advisor)
Antibiotická rezistencia je vážny problém vo väčšine spôsobený zmenami v bakteriálnom genóme. Získavanie a uchovávanie spoľahlivých bakteriálnych genomických dát je preto nevyhnutné pre štúdium mechanizmov a prenosu antibiotickej rezistencie. Táto práca popisuje bakteriálny genóm, antibiotickú rezistenciu a nástroje pre jej identifikáciu spolu s procesmi nevyhnutnými pre zisk genómov, sekvenáciu a skladanie. Sústreďuje sa na hybridné skladanie genómov spravidla vysoko rezistentných baktérií Klebsiella pneumoniae a ich nasledujúcich analýz. Cieľom týchto analýz je skonštruovať profily antibiotických rezistencií a určiť fylogenetickú príbuznosť genómov.
