25. Genes One gene encodes one protein (or sometimes RNA). Like a program, it starts with start codon (e.g. ATG), then each three code one amino acid. Then a stop codon (e.g. TGA) signifies end of the gene. Genes are dense in prokaryotes and sparse in eukaryotes. In the middle of a eukaryotic gene, there are introns that are spliced out (as junk) after transcription. Good parts are called exons. This is the task of gene finding.

27. Jumping genes Genes can jump over other genes.

28. Gene related diseases Hemophilia: on X chromosome. Sickle-Cell Anemia: single nucleotide mutation in the first exon of beta-globin gene (removes a cutting site). 1 in 12 African Americans are carriers. (sick for homozygotes) BRCA1 gene (chr. 17q) – responsible for ½ inherited breast cancer (10% of breast cancer) Fragile X syndrome (mentally retard) – 1 in 1250 males, 2500 females (dominate, but females have partially expressed good gene). FMR-1 gene: tri-nucleotide repeats >200 causes disease. P53 gene: chr. 17p, responsible for ½ of all cancers
