Genomics Chapter 18
So what is Genomics? • Genetic Maps vs Physical Maps
Generation of Physical Maps • Restriction Maps • Chromosome-banding patterns • Radiation Hybrid maps
STS • Only occur once in the genome • Can be used to make physical maps
Whole Genome Sequencing • Needs to be able to sequence larger molecular clones….how can they do this? • Clone-by-clone vs shotgun
Human Genome Project • “Completed” in 2000….with 341 gaps still present in 2004 • Found only around 25,000 genes • How do we compare to fruit flies…what about rice?
The BLAST algorithm • Bioinformatics
Protein-encoding DNA in Eukaryotes • Single-copy genes • Segmental Duplications • Multigene Families • Tandem Clusters
So How can we tell what is actually expressed? • Expressed Sequence Tags
So are we all the same? • SNP’s • Linkage disequilibrium • halotypes
Comparative Genomics and Proteomics • Look at similarities and differences between species based on genomes • Synteny • Functional Genomics • DNA Microarrays
DNA Microarrays • Gives the ability to observe and manipulate genes to see which ones are functional where
Tansgenics • Can be used to determine if two genes from different species have similar functions in other species
Applications of Genomics • Identify Infectious Diseases • Help Improve Crops
Ethical Issues of Genomics??? • Think Gataca
