Genomic Analysis Chapter 19
Overview of topics to be discussed How to sequence genomic DNA (we will have to touch briefly on polymerase chain reaction—a topic from the upcoming “PCR” lab). cDNA Microarray Analysis The Human Genome Project How to use information from any genome sequence: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Predicting Function from Sequence
cDNA: mRNA Reverse transcriptase cDNA can also be studiedwww.bio.davidson.edu/Courses/genomics/RTPCR/RT_PCR.html :
SEQUENCING DNA Sanger-Dideoxymethod
Dideoxy key point! Sanger Method dideoxynucleotides: lack a 3’ OH But have the 2’ and 3’ have hydrogen NO DNA EXTENSION
DNA PCR amplification is performed prior to sequence analysis
Autoradiogram
Can you sequence without using radioactivity? Radioactive!
Yes: Example of Labelled Probes ddGTP ddATP ddTTP ddCTP Orange Black Red Blue
Microarray Analysis
Microarray Protocol DNA or cDNA is added robotically to chip Chips exposed to labeled cDNA Label monitored by laser
Example of: Microarrays from breast tumors cDNA from breast tumors from 2 groups of patients Metastatic Cancer Disease Free
Microarrays of 70 genes Metastatic cancers (row is a patient; column a gene) Metastatic cancers
Genomic DNA Transcriptome Proteome DATA BASE
Human Genome Project June, 2002 Dr. Craig Venter President Clinton Dr. Francis Collins
The initial draft of the Human Genome 3.4 billion base pairs 32,000 genes Average gene 27,000 bases Chromosome 17, 19, 22 high density May encode 96,000 proteins
Mouse: Mus musculus 2.6 billion bp 99% in common with human genome
Genomic Projects: provide us information about: Expressed-sequence tags (ESTs) Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) & Haplotypes Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) Need to understand cDNA
Haplotype: A set of SNPs and other variants on the same chromosome
Variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) in multiple loci Short stretches of DNA base pairs that are repeated at multiple loci in the chromosomes. GAGGAG GAG GAGGAGGAG GAGGAGGAG GAGGAGGAGGAG GAGGAGGAG GAGGAGGAGGAGGAGGAG GAGGAGGAGGAGGAG GAGGAGGAGGAG GAGGAGGAGGAGGAGGAG
