Module 4 Flashcards
Genomics
Analysis of all the genetic material in organism including genes, regulatory regions, interactions, functions, expression
Genome
Includes all Chromosomes and plasmids that constitutes and organisms DNA
Short protein coding regions
Microbial genomes
Smaller genomes
Restricted ecological niches
Small genomes
Carsonellaruddii, 160kba
Large genome
Sorongiumcellulosome, 13Mb
First genome and genome sequenced
Bacteriophage MS2 (1972 and 1976) - RNA genome
First sequenced DNA genome
Bacteriophage X174 (1977)
First sequenced bacterial genome
H. influenzae (1995)
Genome Steps
Strain –> Strategy –> Chemistry –> Assembly –> Closure and finishing –> data release –> annotation –> publish
Genome Annotation
Find ORFs and ORF function (BLASTX) and other features
Domain Comparisons
Pfam/Prosite
Functional Genomics
Ascribing gene function across a genome
Size involved in
Adaptation
Adaptive Capabilities
Biosynthetic, Stress resistance, Structure, Regulation (sensing and responding)
Mycoplamsa genitalium
Smallest self replicating genome
Borrelia burgdorferi
Small genome with few cellular biosynthetic pathways
Bigger Genomes
LABs, H. influenzae, H. pylori, C. jejuni
Limited Environment
Bigger Genomes
Biggest Genomes
Commensals
Bigger Genomes
E. coli, B. subtilis, P, aeruginosa, Y. pestis, Clostridium, MbT, S. coelicolor
Secondary metabolites
Big Genomes –> antibiotics
Secondary Metabolites for antibiotics
Streptomyces coelicolor
Linear Chromosomes
Bb , S. coelicolor
Multiple chromosomes
V. cholerae
Lots of plasmids
Bb (17 total and 50% genome)
Plasmids show
Replication, decaying genes/mutations, antigenic variation
Has no transposons, IS elements, phages
Campylobacter
Important for organization
Repeats
