Q

what is one limitation of cryogenic mapping?

Q

in situ hybridization

A

is used to cryogenically map the locations of genes or other DNA sequences within large eukaryotic chromosomes

  • situ means the chromes are held in place
  • hybridization means a hybrid forms

Q

what are the steps of the fish procedure?

A

1) treat cells with agents that make them swell and fixes them onto a slide
2) Denature chromosomal DNA
3) Add single stranded DNA probes that have biotin
4) add fluorescently labeled Alvin that binds to biotin
5) view with a microscope

Q

what is the purpose of biotin?

A

it has a high affinity for a protein called Advin, so when fluorescent Advin is added, it binds with biotin labeled nucleotides and labels the probe

Q

what is a molecular marker?

A

a segment of DNA found at a specific site along a chromosome that do not encode genes
- ca be used in PCR and gel electrophoresis

26
Q

what does it mean for alleles to be polymorphic?

A

they vary from individual to individual

27
Q

what are polymorphic genes?

A

genes found in two or more forms in a population

28
Q

why are molecular markers useful?

A

they can be used to determine the approximate location of an unknown gene that causes a human disease

29
Q

how are molecular markers used in agriculture?

A

they identify locations of genes involved in quantitative traits like fruit yield and meat weight

30
Q

microsatellites

A

short repetitive sequences that are interspersed throughout a species genome and tend to vary in length among individuals

31
Q

what is the most common micro satellite?

A

CAn - found about every 10,000 bases in the human genome

32
Q

what is it called when PCR primers copy a single site within a set of chromosomes?

A

the amplified region is called sequence tagged site (STS)

33
Q

what is the result of an STS?

A

produces only one band on a gel from haploid cells, two copies on diploid cells

Q

how big is the human genome?

A

3 billion bp in length

46
Q

what is a DNA library?

A

a collection of recombinant vectors where every vector contains a fragment of DNA

47
Q

what is a contig?

A

a collection of clones that contain contiguous, overlapping pieces of DNA

48
Q

how do you construct a contig?

A

large pieces of DNA are cloned into vectors, their order is determined by the identification of overlapping regions

49
Q

what is the goal for physical mapping?

A

to obtain a complete contig for each type of chromosome within a full set

50
Q

why are artificial chromosomes needed?

A

to make contigs, vectors need to be able to accept long segments of DNA so there are fewer vectors needed. However, it doesn’t work with too long of strands. artificial chromosomes can accept much larger segments

51
Q

what are some types of artificial chromosomes?

A

1) yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC)
2) bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC)
3) P1 artificial chromosomes (PACs)

52
Q

YAC

A

a cloning vector in yeast that can accommodate several hundred thousand to 2 million bp segments of DNA

  • it only takes a few hundred YACs to create a contig for an entire chromosome
53
Q

BAC

A
  • developed from F factors
  • contains several genes that function in vector replication and segregation
  • contains unique restriction enzymes
  • lengths up to 300,000
54
Q

AC

A
  • developed from p1 bacteriophage

- lengths up to 300,000

55
Q

cosmid

A

a vector that is a hybrid between a plasmid vector and a phage. can replicate in a cell like a plasmid or be packaged into a protein like a phage

56
Q

why are cosmids needed?

A

they accept smaller sizes, about tens of thousands bp in length
