  1. Genetics Maps

  2. Genetics Maps • Genotyping individuals with STR’s

  3. Genetics Maps • By 1994, there was a ~1 cM map based largely on microsatellites (STR’s) A comprehensive human linkage map with centimorgan density.Murray JC, Buetow KH, Weber JL, Ludwigsen S, Scherpbier-Heddema T, Manion F, Quillen J, Sheffield VC, Sunden S, Duyk GM, et al.Science. 1994 Sep 30;265(5181):2049-54. 5840 loci total 3617 polymerase chain reaction-formatted short tandem repeat polymorphisms 427 genes 0.7 centimorgan density

  11. Sequencing the Human Genome

  12. Sequencing the Human Genome

  13. Sequencing the Human Genome • Sequence ~ 500 bp each reaction • To sequence the Human genome, sequencing method needs to be: • FAST • CHEAP • In 1990 reality was: • SLOW • EXPENSIVE (>$1 per base!)

  14. Sequencing the Human Genome • International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium • Primarily six institutes with high-throughput sequencing capabilities • Whitehead Institute • The Sanger Center • Washington University • DOE Sequencing Center • Bayer College of Medicine (31 Jan 2005 161,489 kb; 2,935,479 kb) • In 1990, the IHGSC began a 15 year plan to sequence the entire Human genome

  15. Sequencing the Human Genome

  16. Sequencing the Human Genome • IHGSC Strategy - Shotgun sequencing of ordered BAC contigs • Define BAC contig order based on STS • Sequence each cluster of BAC’s within contig – align based on sequence • Anchor to genome by STS….

  17. Sequencing the Human Genome

  18. Sequencing the Human Genome • In 1998, Celera Genomics announced plans to sequence the human genome… • …175,000 sequence reads per day, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week J. Craig Venter

  19. Sequencing the Human Genome • Whole genome shotgun approach vs. Clone by Clone approach • By-passes the initial work of ordering clones • Celera performed about 32 million sequence reads, each 500 – 1000 bp

  20. Sequencing the Human Genome

  21. Sequencing the Human Genome • IHGSC published sequence reads every 24 hours to prevent patenting of DNA • Celera had access to IHGSC data • Debate over whether Celera could have shotgun sequenced the genome without IHGSC data

  22. Sequencing the Human Genome • Both groups published results simultaneously • Celera – Science February 2001 • IHGSC – Nature February 2001

  23. Sequencing the Human Genome Nature 409, 818 - 820 (15 February 2001)

  24. Sequencing the Human Genome • Controversy! Science published Celera’s sequence without requiring deposition to GenBank • Celera provides full access, with a catch… • Celera provided Science with a copy in escrow

  25. Sequencing Your Human Genome • For $500,000 you can have your DNA sequenced • Sequence 1000 individual human genomes • “Personalized” medicine J. Craig Venter

  26. Next Gen Sequencing

  27. The proliferation of genetic testing resources

  28. Human Genome • Legal considerations • Should DNA, or genes, be patentable? • In the past, USPTO considered genes as man-made chemicals • Copy DNA region, splice it together, and propagate it in bacteria, etc

  29. Human Genome • Celera >6500 genes • Human Genome Sciences >7000 • Incyte >50,000 • Only a fraction may be awarded by USPTO, and only a fraction of these may be useful in treating human disease

  30. Human Genome • 1994 U. of Rochester scientists isolate mRNA for COX-2 and clone gene • Suggest that compounds which inhibit COX-2 might provide pain relief from arthritis • Submit patent application in 1995

  31. Human Genome • 1998 – Celebrex – inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) introduced as arthritis medication • Developed by Pfizer/Searle • Development began in early-90’s i.e. around time of U. of Rochester discovery

  32. Human Genome • April 2000, U. of Rochester awarded patent covering COX-2 gene and inhibition of the peptide product thereof • The same day, U. of Rochester files lawsuit against Pfizer/Searle to block Celebrex sales • Claims that Pfizer/Searle infringes on their patent • They want royalties from the sale of the invention

  33. Human Genome • 2003 – U. of Rochester patent found invalid • 2004 – Invalidation upheld by higher Court • U. of Rochester patent did not provide sufficient example of what the inhibitor would be…i.e. claims too broad without a working example • How will “basic science” performed by Universities be rewarded?

  34. Human Genome • Vioxx and Celebrex in news again this year: increased risk of “cardiovascular event” i.e. heart attacks

  35. Human Genome • Gene discovery • Average gene extends over 27 kb • Average 8.8 introns • Average 145 bp • Extremes: • Dystrophin gene 2.4 Mb • Titin gene contains 178 introns, coding for a 80,780 bp mRNA

  36. Human Genome • Gene discovery • One approach is to examine “transcriptome” • Exome

  37. Human Genome • Conservation of chromosome/gene location between organisms • Synteny • Exons tend to be conserved between species

  38. Human Genome • Human vs. Pufferfish genome • Pufferfish genome about 1/7th the size of the human genome with similar number of genes

  39. Human Genome • Predictive computer programs, e.g. GENSCAN • GENSCAN predicts the location of genes based on splicing predictions, promoter regions and other criteria

  40. Human Genome • Online databases have formed to curate Human genome data • Ensembl (www.ensemble.org)

  41. Genetic Mapping of Mendelian Characters

  42. Identifying Disease-Causing Gene Variations • Linkage analysis and Positional Cloning • Clone disease gene without knowing anything except the approximate chromosomal location

  43. Recombination • Recombination during meiosis separates loci • More often when they are farther apart • Less often when they are close • Recall discussion of the Genetic Map • Loci on separate chromosomes segregate independently • Loci on the same chromosome segregate as a function of recombination

  44. Recombination 13-1

  46. Linkage analysis • Linkage analysis locates the disease gene locus • Linkage analysis requires • Clear segregation patterns in families • Informative markers close to the locus • Utilize LOD analysis to verify linkage • Calculate cM distance between Loci

  47. Positional Cloning • Widely used strategy in human genetics for cloning disease genes • No knowledge of the function of the gene product is necessary • Strong for finding single-gene disorders

  48. Positional Cloning • Linkage analysis with polymorphic markers establishes location of disease gene • LOD score analysis, and other methods are employed • Once we know the approximate location… • The heavy molecular biology begins

  49. Positional Cloning • Example - Huntington’s disease • CAG… • Autosomal dominant • 100% penetrance • Fatal • Late onset means patients often have children
