brief history of genetics Flashcards
molecular genetics
1) chemical bases of heredity
- genomics - study of genes
- proteomics - study of proteins
cytogenetics
1) physical basis of herefity
behavior genetics
1) how a certain organism behave
population genetics
1) transmission of trait in a large group of individual through time
classical genetics
how traits are transmitted
gregor mendel
1) 150 years ago, genotype results in phenotype
human genome project
1) new tool for diagnostics and prognosis
why genetics?
1) to understand etiology
- for diagnosis, treatment plan, prevention, understand diseases
- implement personalized medicine
development of the head and face
1) coordinated by TFs and signaling molecules
- 4th week of gestation
- migration of neural crest cells establishing facial primordia
- maxillary prominences enlarge and grow toward each other and nasal processes
craniofacial and upper airway structures
1) mesenchymal and epithelial tissues are synchronized
- interruption of TFs and GFs leads to congenital anomalies
2) week 4
-64 upregulated genes
3) 5 weeks
- 26 upregulated genes in frontonasal process
4) 6th week
- lateral nasal prominence 45 genes
- medial nasal prominence 36 genes
most important genes in craniofacial morphogenesis
1) polarizing signals
2) growth factors
3) cell adhesion molecules
4) ECM
asking about disorders
1) what does this boy have
2) was he born like this
- yes, congenital anomaly
3) does he look like somebody in the family
- heredity
4) how this happened
- etiology
5) when this happened
- prenatal development
history of genetics
1) pre-mendelian era
- 19th century
- 1875 Darwin identified hereditary anodontia
2) classical era
- 1900-1930
3) DNA era
-1930-1970
- heredity vs environment
4) genomic era
- 1970-2010
- heritability era
5) postgenomic era
-2010-
- postgenomic and epigenomic period
- precision medicine period
aristotle
1) homunculus
- carries a tiny version of adult, each part of which can be expanded into the corresponding part of adult
2) preformation
- pre-formed bodies, sperm cells
gregor mendel
1) 1822-1884
2) law of uniformity
- two homozygotes with different alleles are crossed and produce same offspring in F1
2) law of segregation
- each characteristic is represented by two genes, only one which is transmitted at a time
3) law of independent assortment
- members of different gene pairs segregate to offspring independently of one another
