A Look Back at the Past Year Genomics in Nature Patience Tenney
Themes new sequenced genomes functional genomics evolution techniques future?
Sequenced Human chromosome 14 2 immune loci, 60 disease genes Human Y chromosome MSY region Neurospora crassa (bread mould) 3 new yeast species: Saccharomyces paradoxus, S. bayanus, and S. mikata comparison study with S. cerevisiae
Functional duplicated genes purpose is for stability RIP mechanism in N. crassa alternate recombination mechanism in Y chromosome Coprinus cinereus (ink cap mushroom) apoptosis signal cell differentiation regulation and reprogramming
evolution Bacillus antracis pathogenicity ancestor a parasite of saprophyte short and full viral genomes work in mutually beneficial relationship paired genomes compliment out defects in individual short genome has useful trait for larger genome to increase pathogenicity
Techniques genome wide genetic analysis of gene expression whole genome shotgun strategy comparison study balancer chromosome
Future NHGRI outline of three themes biology structure and function of genes regulation Health developing improved medications and techniques Society maximize benefits while minimizing harm
