Organization • Introduction to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) • An overview of mammalian genome projects • Online resource of SNPs and genome sequences
SNPs SNPs are DNA sequence variations that occur when a single nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) is altered (a single base variation).

Mapping SNPs to the Genome • Format the flanking sequences of SNPs (e.g. 50 bp each side) • Using alignment program BLAST or BLAT with the following criteria: • 0 gap in the aligned region • The SNP position is within the aligned region • Aligned region at least 100 bp in length • Only 1 ambiguous letter matches • No more than 1% sequence mismatches in the aligned region

The SNP Consortium (TSC) • The SNP Consortium (TSC) is a public/private collaboration that has to date discovered and characterized nearly 1.8 million SNPs • The TSC was funded by 11 corporate members and the Wellcome Trust. • Started in April 1999 and that time its mission is to develop up to 300,000 SNPs distributed evenly throughout the human genome. Finally, in 2001, it finished by 1.5 million SNPs • Well designed. Good quality of SNP data and allele frequencies.
The Sequenom’s RealSNP • Aims to develop assays for Sequenom’s Mass Spec Genotyping machine. • Most candidate SNPs were obtained from dbSNPs, some were from Incyte’s proprietary SNPs • Started in 2002 • Over 5.4M designed SNP assays • Over 400,000 working assays • Over 220,000 confirmed polymorphic SNPs
Distribution of Heterozygosity: 1.42 million SNP Map • The genome was divided into contiguous bins of 200,000 bp. A histogram was generated of the distribution of heterozygosity values across all such bins. • Heterozygosity was calculated across contiguous 200,000-bp bins on Chromosome 6. The blue lines represent the values within which 95% of regions fall: 2.0 x 10-4 - 15.8 x 10-4. Red, bins falling outside this range. The extended region of unusually high heterozygosity centred at 34 Mb corresponds to the HLA. • Correlation of nucleotide diversity with GC content of each read (autosomes only). Higher GC content, higher nucleotide diversity. • Nature 2001 409:928-933 HLA
To develop a haplotype map of the human genome • To describe the common patterns of human DNA sequence variation • U.S.A., Japan, the U.K., Canada, China, and Nigeria • Over A total of 270 people • Yoruba, Nigeria (30 both-parent-and-adult-child trios) • Japanese (45 unrelated individuals) • Han Chinese (45 unrelated individuals) • CEPH (30 trios) • Genotyped for at least 1 million SNPs evenly across the human genome

Human Genome Sequencing Project • International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium (IHGSC) • A collaboration of 20 groups from the USA, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, and China • Goals: DNA sequence, genetic map, physical map, genetic variation, functional analysis, etc. • A 15-year $3 billion project (1990-2005, finished 2001) • Hierarchical shotgun sequencing strategy • Celera Human Genome Project • Compete IHGSC from the biotech industry • Whole-genome shotgun sequencing (WGS) strategy • DNA samples from five individuals, mainly from Craig Venter • Many follow-up studies Chromosome 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22 Comparative genomics Nature 2001 409:860-921 Science 2001 291:1304-1351 Science 2003 300:286-290

Rat Genome Sequencing Project • Rat Genome Sequencing Consortium (RGSC) • Led by Baylor Genome Sequencing Center (BCM-HGSC) • International collaboration including Celera Genomics • Combined Strategy: WGS and BAC Sequencing • Brown Norway rat (most sequences from two females) • The rat genome (2.75 Gb) is smaller than the human (2.9 Gb) but larger than the mouse (2.5 Gb?) • These three genomes encode similar numbers of genes • Almost all human genes known to be associated with disease have orthologues in the rat genome • About a billion nucleotides (~40% of the euchromatic rat genome) in in the orthologous alignment among human/mouse/rat.
