Repeat expansion/contraction
Tandem repeats expand and contract during recombination. Mistakes in pairing leads to changes in tandem repeat numbers These can be detected by Southern blotting because as the number of repeats expand at a specific site, the restriction fragment at that site expands in size An allele of a mini-satellite varies by the number of repeats One repeat to many repeats- (varying in length from 0.5 to 20 kb) E 4 Chr1 Individual 1 E 5 Chr1 Individual 2 1 3 5 Ind1 Ind2 There are on average between 2 and 10 alleles (repeats) per mini-sat locus

RFLP analysis RFLP= Restriction fragment length polymorphism
Refers to variation (presence or absence) in restriction sites between individuals Because of mutations in Restriction sites These are extremely useful and valuable for geneticists (and lawyers) On average two individuals (humans) vary at 1bp in every bp The human genome is 3x109 bp This means that they will differ in more than 3 million bp!!! By chance these changes will CREATE or DESTROY the recognition sites for restriction enzymes

RFLP Lets generate a EcoRI map for the region in one individual 3kb
GAATTC The the same region of a second individual may appear as The nucleotides are not deleted – just changed 7kb GAGTTC GAATTC Marker EcoRI 1 2 Normal GAATTC Mutant GAGTTC

RFLP The internal EcoRI site is missing in the second individual
For X1 the sequence at this site is GAATTC CTTAAG This is the sequence recognized by EcoRI The equivalent site in the X2 individual is different GAGTTC CTCAAG This sequence IS NOT recognized by EcoRI and is therefore not cut Now if we examine a large number of humans at this site we may find that 25% possess the EcoRI site and 75% lack this site. We can say that a restriction fragment length polymorphism exits in this region These polymorphisms usually do not have any phenotypic consequences Silent mutations that do not alter the protein sequence because of redundancy in codon usage, localization in introns or non-genic regions

RFLP RFLP are identified by southern blots
In the region of the human X chromosome, two forms of the X-chromosome are Segregating in the population. B R 4 5 3 6 3.5 X1 2 1 Digest DNA with EcoRI or BamHI and probe with Probe1/ probe2 What do we get? B R 4 8 6 3.5 X2 2 1

RFLP in individuals If we used probe1 for southern blots with a BamHI digest what would be the results for X1/X1, X1/X2 and X2/X2 individuals? X1/X1 X1/X2 X2/X2 Probe1 BamHI 18 18 18 If we used probe1 for southern blots with a EcoRI digest what would be the results for X1/X1, X1/X2 and X2/X2 individuals?

RFLP RFLP’s are found by trial and error
They require an appropriate probe and appropriate enzyme They are very valuable because they can be used just like any other genetic marker to map genes They are employed in recombination analysis (mapping) in the same way as conventional morphological allele markers are employed The presence of a specific restriction site at a specific locus on one chromosome and its absence at a specific locus on another chromosome can be viewed as two allelic forms of a gene The phenotype in this case is a Southern blot rather than white eye/red eye R 4 6 2 1 X1 R 1 4 2 5 X2 R 1 4 2 3 R 4 8 2 1

RFLP Map DNA was prepared from white blood cells from a large number of people. Ten different patterns were seen when these DNAs were digested with EcoR1, then subjected to electrophoresis and Southern blotting with a radio-labeled human probe.

Mapping To map Two Genes, you perform crosses and measure recombination frequency between the two genes IN A HETEROZYGOUS INDIVIDUAL. Gene W and B are responsible for wing and bristle development Centromere Telomere W B To find the map distance between these two genes we need ALLELIC variants at each locus W=wings B=Bristles w= No wings b= no bristles To measure distance between these two genes, You do a TEST CROSS A double heterozygote is crossed to the double homozygote recessive WB/wb Female Wings Bristles wb/wb Males No wings No bristles X ----W B--- ----w b--- ----w b---

Mapping To find the map distance between genes, multiple alleles are required to measure appearance of recombinants We know the distance between W and B by the classical method because multiple alleles exist at each locus (W & w, B & b). It is 7MU. We know the distance between B and R by the classical method as 20MU by using heterozygotes for B and R in a cross and looking for recombinants 7MU 20MU Centromere Telomere W B R Now suppose you find a new gene You could map this gene with respect to Genes W, B and R using classical methods. However, what if it is difficult to study the function of this new gene (the phenotype is difficult to see with the naked eye) If the researcher identifies an RFLP in this gene you can map the gene mutation by simply following the RFLP.

Mapping Prior to RFLP analysis, only a few classical gene markers existed (approximately 200 in humans) Now over 7000 RFLPs have been mapped in the human genome. Newly inherited disorders are now mapped by determining whether they are linked to previously identified RFLPs 7MU 20MU Centromere Telomere W or w B b R r Centromere Telomere RFLP1 Probe1 7kb or 4kb RFLP2 Probe2 1kb 2kb RFLP3 Probe3 3kb 9kb

RFLP Mapping Both the normal and mutant alleles of gene B (B and b) are sequenced and we find W B Centromere Telomere B 2 3 E b 5 GAATTC AAATTC The mutation disrupts the sequence and alters a EcoRI site! If DNA is isolated from B/B, B/b and b/b individuals, cut with EcoRI and probed in A Southern blot, the pattern that we will obtain is B/B Bristle B/b Bristle b/b No bristle

Mapping To find the map distance between two genes we need ALLELIC variants at each locus Therefore in the cross (WB/wb x wb/wb), the genotype at the B locus can be distinguished either by the presence and absence of bristles OR by a Southern blot WB/wb x wb/wb Female Male Wings No wings Bristles No Bristles Southern blot: Southern blot: 5 and 2 kb band 5 kb band You can use RFLPs instead of genes as markers along a chromosome Just like Genes, RFLPs mark specific positions on chromosomes and can be used for mapping.

SNP DNA Repeats

Genetic polymorphism Genetic Polymorphism: A difference in DNA sequence among individuals, groups, or populations. Genetic Mutation: A change in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule. Genetic mutations are a subset of genetic polymorphism Genetic Variation Single nucleotide Polymorphism (point mutation) Repeat heterogeneity

SNP A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism is a source variance in a genome.
A SNP ("snip") is a single base change in DNA. SNPs are the most simple form and most common source of genetic polymorphism in the human genome (90% of all human DNA polymorphisms). There are two types of nucleotide base substitutions resulting in SNPs: Transition: substitution between purines (A, G) or between pyrimidines (C, T). Constitute two thirds of all SNPs. Transversion: substitution between a purine and a pyrimidine. While a single base can change to all of the other three bases, most SNPs have only one allele.

SNPs- Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
ACGGCTAA ATGGCTAA Instead of using restriction enzymes, these are found by direct sequencing/PCR They are extremely useful for mapping Markers Classical Mendelian ~200 RFLPs SNPs 1.4x106 SNPs occur every bp along the 3 billion long human genome Many SNPs have no effect on cell function Note: RFLPs are a subclass of SNPs

SNPs Humans are genetically >99 per cent identical: it is the
tiny percentage that is different Much of our genetic variation is caused by single-nucleotide differences in our DNA : these are called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs. As a result, each of us has a unique genotype that typically differs in about three million nucleotides from every other person. SNPs occur about once every base pairs in the genome, and the frequency of a particular polymorphism tends to remain stable in the population. Because only about 3 to 5 percent of a person's DNA sequence codes for the production of proteins, most SNPs are found outside of "coding sequences".

Coding Region SNPs Types of coding region SNPs Synonymous: the substitution causes no amino acid change to the protein it produces. This is also called a silent mutation. Non-Synonymous: the substitution results in an alteration of the encoded amino acid. A missense mutation changes the protein by causing a change of codon. A nonsense mutation results in a misplaced termination. More than half of all coding sequence SNPs result in non-synonymous codon changes.

Intergenic SNPs Researchers have found that most SNPs are not responsible for a disease state because they are intergenic SNPs Instead, they serve as biological markers for pinpointing a disease on the human genome map, because they are usually located near a gene found to be associated with a certain disease. Scientists have long known that diseases caused by single genes and inherited according to the laws of Mendel are actually rare. Most common diseases, like diabetes, are caused by multiple genes. Finding all of these genes is a difficult task. Recently, there has been focus on the idea that all of the genes involved can be traced by using SNPs. By comparing the SNP patterns in affected and non-affected individuals—patients with diabetes and healthy controls, for example—scientists can catalog ALL of the DNA sequence variations in affected Vs unaffected individuals to identify mutations that underlie susceptibility for diabetes GAATTC GAGTTC Pt mut SNP RFLP GACTTC

PCR If a region of DNA has already been sequenced in one individual, the sequence information can be used to isolate and amplify that sequence from other individuals DNA in a population. Individuals with mutations in p53 are at risk for colon cancer To determine if an individual had such a mutation, prior to PCR one would have to clone the gene from the individual of interest (construct a genomic library, screen the library, isolate the clone and sequence the gene). With PCR, the gene can be isolated directly from DNA isolated from that individual. No lengthy cloning procedure necessary Only small amounts of genomic DNA required 30 rounds of amplification can give you >109 copies of a gene

Genotype and Haplotype
In the most basic sense, a haplotype is a “haploid genotype”. Haplotype: particular pattern of SNPs (or alleles) found on a single chromosome in a single individual. The DNA sequence of any two people is 99 percent identical. Sets of nearby SNPs on the same chromosome are inherited in blocks. Therefore while Blocks may contain a large number of SNPs, a few SNPs are enough to uniquely identify the haplotype of that block. The HapMap is a map of these specific SNPs. SNPs that identify the haplotypes are called tag SNPs. This makes genome scan approaches to finding regions with genes that affect diseases much more efficient and comprehensive. Haplotyping: involves grouping individuals by haplotypes, or particular patterns of sequential SNPs, on a single chromosome. There are thought to be a small number of haplotype patterns for each chromosome. Microarrays or PCR are used to accomplish haplotyping.

Haplotype and SNPs Each individual has a characteristic pattern of SNPs SNPs occur every bp apart. There are over a million SNPs in each individual When we generate a SNP map for an individual we DO NOT check every single SNP in that individuals DNA SNPs are transmitted as blocks (Recombination hot spot)- so no point analyzing SNPs that go together 1 aAa aGa 2 cCc cGc 3 A 4 G T 5 6 7 8 9 C Ind1 Ind2 SNPs in red were not studied. Only the 9 black SNPs were studied

SNP mapping is used to narrow down the known physical location of mutations to a single gene.
The human genome sequence provided us with the list of many of the parts to make a human. The HapMap provides us with indicators which we can focus on in looking for genes involved in common disease. By using HapMap data to compare the SNP patterns of people affected by a disease with those of unaffected people, researchers can survey the whole genome and identify genetic contributions to common diseases more efficiently than has been possible without this genome-wide map of variation: the HapMap Project has simplified the search for gene variants.

A recessive disease pedigree

Mapping recessive disease genes with DNA markers
SNP markers are mapped evenly across the genome. The markers are polymorphic. We can tell looking at the SNP pattern of a particular grandchild which grandparent contributed a certain part of its DNA. If we knew that grandparent carried the disease, we could say that part of the DNA might be responsible for the disease. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 SNPs in red were not studied.

It is therefore likely that the disease gene will be somewhere near marker 7.
