  14. The Genetic Code

  15. DNA as a Language • Four “letters” ( bases A, U, G, C) • 64 three letter “words” (codons) • “Redundant” – Many “words” have the identical “meaning” • 20 unique “words” (amino acids) • Unlimited “sentences” (proteins)

  24. Duon Sequences • 86% of genes expressed at least one duon sequence • Duons comprise 14% of all exonic coding • Over 12 million base pairs Andrew B. Stergachis et al. 2013. ExonicTranscription Factor Binding Directs Codon Choice and Affects Protein Evolution. Science342, 1367.

  29. Dual-Coding Genes Coding of multiple proteins by overlapping reading frames is not a feature one would associate with eukaryotic genes. Indeed, codependency between codons of overlapping protein-coding regions imposes a unique set of evolutionary constraints, making it a costly arrangement. Yet in cases of tightly coexpressed interacting proteins, dual coding may be advantageous. Here we show that although dual coding is nearly impossible by chance, a number of human transcripts contain overlapping coding regions. Wen-Yu Chung, et al. A First Look at ARFome: Dual-Coding Genes in Mammalian Genomes. PLoSComputational Biology 3 (5) e91.

  30. Finding Dual Coding Genes • Evolutionary assumptions underestimate true numbers of dual coding genes • 9% of human and 7% of mouse • Less than 30% shared: mouse:human • 90% of genes on opposite strands • 1259 human alternative proteins detected by mass spectrometry Chaitanya R Sanna, et al. Overlapping genes in the human and mouse genomes. BMC Genomics 2008, 9:169. Benoıt Vanderperre, et al. 2013. Direct Detection of Alternative Open Reading Frames Translation… PLoS ONE 8(8): e70698.
