Gene Therapy Put good gene into someone who doesn’t have it SCIDS bubble babies
Gene Therapy: • Is it possible? • Is it right (ethical)?

Sequencing DNA • if interested…see fig 4.7
Genome complete genetic material of an organism Human Genome project: Proposed in 1986 Funded in 1989 Preliminary report in 2001 (94%) Completed in 2003
Genome results • 95% of human DNA is non-coding (not genes) • Fewer genes found than expected (35,000) • Many genes have unknown • Only 1% of our genes are unique (similar to 46% of genes in yeast) • 200 genes like bacteria • mutation rates differ in different parts of genome • Many sites (15) for variability (each individual is genetically unique) 23 = 23 = 8 223 = 8,388,608 223 = 2n
study of the genome Genomics e.g., identify individual genes information generated is called bioinformatics uses molecular biology and computer science • 95% of human DNA is non-coding • introns (non-coding) and exons (coding) • see figs 4.9 and 4.10
comparative and functional Genomics • similarities and relationships • simple vs. complex • gene families • gene functions • …… study the protein content of an organism Proteomics Normal function Disease processes Repair/drug interaction…..
Chapter 1 • A. Properties of living things • list them and relate them to further materials • B. Scientific Method • subject matter and limitations • inductive vs. deductive reasoning • (specific to general) (general to specific; if…then) • Hypothesis: must be testable (falsifiable) • Experiments/observations test hypothesis • must be reproducible • must have appropriate controls
B. Scientific Method (cont) Ethics: deontological: written code, individual rights emphasis on actions (right vs wrong) utilitarian: greatest good for most emphasis onconsequences
0 Genes, Chromosomes and DNA Mendel and Peas simple inheritance patterns phenotype/genotype, dominant recessive heterozygous/homozygous, Mendels “laws” B. Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance Chromosomes Cell division: mitosis and meiosis Gene linkage, crossing over, nondisjunction Molecular basis of Inheritance DNA structure and replication
