核苷酸序列的模擬 楊義清 於國家理論科學中心﹙南區﹚
生物物理 • 傳統的定義是以X-ray跟NMR來決定蛋白質結構等的問題。 • 用物理的方法來解決生物系統中的問題, 特別是以理論物理的方法。 • 我感興趣的研究領域:核苷酸序列中各類特殊序列的成因。

microsatellite DNA • 指單一核苷酸序列樣式所組成的序列,從頭到尾都是由連續的序列樣式所組成,中間沒有被其他鹼基打斷,所有的序列樣式均介於2~6個鹼基之間。尚有SSRs ﹙ simple sequences repeats ﹚和STRs ﹙short tandem repeats﹚等這些代表連續重複序列的名稱。
Why interest in SSRs? • Important role in genetic disease, genome organization, and evolutionary processes • the most widely used markers for genetic mapping, evolution studies and forensic fingerprinting. • the length polymorphism of microsatelliters is frequently used in medical purpose.
Medical Purposes • genetic mechanism of molecular event for evolution and progression of tumor. • such as endometrial carcinoma (Gurin et.al., 1999), hereditary nonpolyosis colorectal carcinoma (Eshleman & Markowitz, 1996), thyroid tumor (Lazzereschi et.al., 1994), gastric cancer (Rhyu et.al., 1994), pancreatic cancer (Han et.al., 1993), and bladder tumor (Orlow et.al., 1994).
有關SSRs成因機制的研究 • The results of many researchers favor the model of polymerase template slippage (Henderson et.al.,1992; Morral et.al., 1991; Freudenreich et.al., 1997; Parker & Marinus, 1992) • Ohta and Kimura (1973) introduced the stepwise mutation model with the polymerase template slippage, and the microsatellite length follows a simple random walk with a reflecting barrier at one repeat unit.
A continuous-time Markov chain model that incorporates slippage events and point mutations, a stationary was resulted (Kruglyak et.al., 1998; 1999) • Dokholyan et.al. (1997; 1998) analyed a simplified model of unequal chromosomal crossing over for expressing the power-law distribution Nonlinear model

分析上所得到的結果 • SSR的長度分佈不是指數,也非對數 • SSR分布具有高度相關性(非隨機分布) • 這種影響已經不是slippage與point mutation能夠形成的 • 進一步的想法是提出一個機制來模擬,但是要具有生物上的證據 What is this mechanism?
