Chapter 12: Genomes Flashcards
Human Genome Project
small # of genes
2003 completion
=next-generation DNA sequencing
miniaturization techniques DNA replication PCR
- cut up DNA
- denature DNA by heat breaking hydrogen bonds
- fragment attached at each e nd to short adapter sequences
- Amplified by PCR to make so many copies
- DNA poly adds nucleotides
- DNA added one nucleotide at a time
- FLUORESCE

Power of next generation DNA sequencing
fully automated and miniaturized
millions of different fragments are sequenced at the same time. This is called massively parallel
An expensive way to sequence large genomes. at the time od writing a complete genome could be sequenced in a few days

bioinformatics
Analyze DNA sequences using complex mathematics and computer programs
Functional genomics
biologists use sequence information to identify the functions of various parts of genomes
including
open reading frames, amino acid sequences of proteins, regulatory sequences, RNA genes, other noncoding sequences
open-reading frames
coding regions of genes
can be recognized by start and stop codon for coding and consensus sequences for introns
functional genomics
amino acid sequences of proteins
can be deduced from the DNA sequences of open reading frames by applying the genetic code
functional genomics
regulatory sequences
promoters and terminators for transcription
functional genomics
RNA genes
rRNA, tRNA, small nuclear RNA, and microRNA
functional genomics
Other noncoding sequences (functional genomics)
fucntional genomics
classified in various categories including centromeric and teolmerix regions, TRANSPOSONS, and repetitive
Comparative gentics
the comparison of a newly sequenced genome of parts thereof can be compared to other organisms
genetic determinism
person’s phenotype is determined solely by his or her genotype
Proteomics
seeks to identify and characterize all expressed proteins
Proteome
sum total of the proteins produced by an organism
more complex than the genome
How do people analyze proteins and the proteome?
using electrical charge and size with gel electrophoresis to separate proteins and isolate them
mass spectrometry uses electromagnets to identify molecules by masses of their atoms
determine structures of molecules
Metablomics
aims to describe the metabolome of a tissue or organism under particular environmental conditions
metabolome
quantitative description of all of the metabolites in a cell or organism
primary metabolites
involved in normal processes such as intermediates in pathways like glycolysis
also hormones and other signaling molecules
secondary metabolites
often unique to particular organisms or groups of organisms often involved in special responses to the environment
ex. antibiotics made by microbes and chemicals made by plants that are used in defense
