Introduction: DNA sequencing ACGTTTGACTGAGGAGTTTACGGGAGCAAAGCGGCGTCATTGCTATTCGTATCTGTTTAG
DNA – what is a genome? DNA, ~3x10 9 long in humans Contains ~ 22,000 genes G A G U C A G C messenger-RNA transcriptiontranslationfolding RNA folding
Human Genome Project 1990: Start 2000: Bill Clinton: 2001 : Draft 2003: Finished $3 billion 3 billion basepairs “most important scientific discovery in the 20th century” now what?
There is never “enough” sequencing 100 million species 7 billion individuals Somatic mutations (e.g., HIV, cancer) Sequencing is a functional assay
Sequencing Growth Cost of one human genome 2004: $30,000, : $100, : $10, : $4,000 (today) : $1,000 ???: $300 How much would you pay for a smartphone?
DNA Sequencing – Gel Electrophoresis “Ancient” method, used for the human genome 1.Start at primer(restriction site) 2.Grow DNA chain 3.Include dideoxynucleoside (modified a, c, g, t) 4.Stops reaction at all possible points 5.Separate products with length, using gel electrophoresis
DNA Sequencing - Illumina
Medicine –Mendelian diseases –Cancer –Drug dosage (eg. Warfarin) –Disease risk –Diagnosis of infections –… Ancestry Genealogy Nutrition? Psychology? Baby Engineering???... Uses of Genomes
GINA: Genetic information cannot be used by insurance & employers –Covers relatives up to 4 th degree –Excludes life & disability insurance Overdiagnosis Bad news you’d rather not find out Paternity testing Genetic engineering of babies? … Ethical Issues
Cost Killer apps Roadblocks? How soon will we all be sequenced? Time 2013? 2018? Cost Applications

The Hominid Lineage
Human population migrations Out of Africa, Replacement –Single mother of all humans (Eve) ~150,000yr –Single father of all humans (Adam) ~70,000yr –Humans out of Africa ~50000 years ago replaced others (e.g., Neandertals) Multiregional Evolution –Generally debunked, however, –~5% of human genome in Europeans, Asians is Neanderthal, Denisova
Coalescence Y-chromosome coalescence
Why humans are so similar A small population that interbred reduced the genetic variation Out of Africa ~ 50,000 years ago Out of Africa
Migration of Humans

Fixation, Positive & Negative Selection Neutral Drift Positive Selection Negative Selection How can we detect negative selection? How can we detect positive selection?
Conservation and Human SNPs CNSs have fewer SNPs SNPs have shifted allele frequency spectra CNSs have fewer SNPs SNPs have shifted allele frequency spectra Neutral CNS
How can we detect positive selection? Ka/Ks ratio: Ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions Very old, persistent, strong positive selection for a protein that keeps adapting Examples: immune response, spermatogenesis Ka/Ks ratio: Ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions Very old, persistent, strong positive selection for a protein that keeps adapting Examples: immune response, spermatogenesis
How can we detect positive selection?
Long Haplotypes –iHS test Less time: Fewer mutations Fewer recombinations
