“The failure of the human genome” “despite more than 700 genome-scanning publications and nearly $100bn spent, geneticists still had not found more than a fractional genetic basis for human disease “ Manolio et al., Nature, 2009 “The most likely explanation for why genes for common diseases have not been found is that, with few exceptions, they do not exist. …., if inherited genes are not to blame for our commonest illnesses, can we find out what is? “ Guardian, 2011 CSIRO.

Measuring Expression ? • What are important members of a transcriptome? • mRNA • polyadenylated, coding • alternatively spliced • Noncoding RNA (small RNA) • varying lengths, functions (18 – 32 bases) • microRNA, siRNA, piRNA, tasiRNA, long non-coding RNA • “Dark” RNA • transcription outside of annotated genes • Non-polyadenylated • Anti-sense transcription CSIRO. Nescent August 2011 - Measuring Expression
Measuring Expression ? • How does the transcriptome vary to give rise to phenotype ? • Changes in Abundance • Abundance = Rate of Transcription – Rate of Decay • Changes in Function • Availability for function – polyadenylation, silencing, localisation • Suitability for function – alternate splicing CSIRO.
