What is Applied Genetics?
Applying theoretical concepts of genetics to practical areas.
For example plants, animals, and medicine.

Selective Breeding
Produces organisms with desired traits. For example large heads of grain, juicy
berries, disease resistant plants, calves that produce the most milk.

Inbreeding
Mating between closely related individuals--develops pure blood lines. Insures offspring are homozygous for traits.
Disadvantage: also brings out harmful recessive traits. Ex. Boxers tend to get cancer. The Pharaohs disfiguration.

What is a Breed?
A selected group of organisms within a species that have been bred for particular characteristics.
German shepherds Boxers Klydesdale Horses Himalayan Cats

What is a Hybrid?
Offspring of parents with different forms of a trait.
Ex. Crossing a disease resistant plant with one that produces a lot of yield = a plant that is disease resistant and productive.
Examples wheat, corn, rice, garden vegetables

How do we determine Genotypes? Perform test crosses: cross an
individual of known genotype with one of unknown genotype and observe offspring.
Known genotype is always the recessive.

Genetic Engineering
A faster and more reliable method for increasing the frequency of a specific allele in a population.
Involves cutting (or cleaving) DNA from 1 organism into fragments and inserting the fragments into a host organism.
![Page 10: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Recombinant DNA
Is made by connecting or recombining fragments of DNA from different organisms.
Transgenic Organisms: contain foreign DNA ( or recombinant DNA)
![Page 11: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How to Produce a Transgenic Organism First: isolate the foreign DNA fragment and
cleave the DNA with restriction enzymes. Second:Attach the fragment to a vehicle
called a vector so it can be transported into the host cell.
Third:Transfer the vector to the host and reconnect the vector with the host DNA by gene splicing (rejoining DNA)
![Page 12: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to Produce Transgenic Organisms. Fourth: After the DNA is transferred now
it can replicate every time the host DNA replicates making clones (identical copies) of the recombinant DNA.

Restriction Enzymes
Used to cleave DNA at certain sites. ECORI cleaves at 5’GAATTC3’ BAMHI cleaves at 5’GGATCC3’ HINDIII cleaves at 5’AAGCTT3’
Palendrome: words or sentences that read the same forwards and backwards
Ex. Mom, DAD
![Page 14: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Restriction Enzymes
If DNA is cut straight through both strands you have blunt ends Ex.
5’TTAT3’
5’AATA3’ If DNA is cut stagerdly the ends are said to
be “sticky”
5’GATCCGAGGA3’
5’TCCTAGGC3’

Types of Vectors
Vectors transport foreign DNA to a host Biological vectors are viruses, and
plasmids (small rings of DNA found in bacteria cells)
Mechanical Vectors: micropipette or small metal bullets
![Page 16: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why is cloning possible?
Because foreign pieces of DNA introduced into the host cell has been so completely, the foreign DNA is replicated as if it were the host’s DNA.
Advantage to using bacteria in cloning is it replicates quickly.
Cloning Animals: to produce healthy, productive animals that increase yield.
![Page 17: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sequencing DNA
Once pure DNA has been cloned then the sequence of DNA can be determined by:
separating the strands the single strands are mixed with
enzymes, radioactive nucleotides and dyes.
![Page 18: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sequencing DNA
The mixture produces complementary strands of varying lengths.
They are separated according to size by gel electrophoresis, producing a pattern of dyed bans which can be read with a X-ray
![Page 19: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The process of Gel Electrophoresis Restriction enzymes either one or
several restriction enzymes is added to a DNA sample. The enzymes cut the DNA into fragments.
The gel: a gel similar to gelatin, is formed so that small wells are left at one end. Into the wells, small amounts of the DNA sample are placed.
![Page 20: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Process of Gel Electrophoresis The electrical Field : the gel is placed in
a solution, and an electrical field is set up so that one end of the gel is positive and the other is negative.
The fragments Move: the negatively charged DNA fragments travel toward the positive end. The smaller fragments, the faster it moves through the gel.
![Page 21: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Process of Gel Electrophoresis Fragments that are the farthest from the
well are the smallest.

The Human Genome
![Page 31: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Human Genome
It is approximately 80,000 genes on 46 chromosomes.
There are 3 billion base pairs of DNA
![Page 32: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Linkage Maps
The genetic map that shows the location of genes on chromosomes
Genes that cross over frequently must be farther apart than genes that rarely cross over.

Uses of the Human Genome
Diagnosis of genetic disorders Gene therapy: the insertion of normal
genes into human cells to correct genetic disorders. (Used with CF patients)
DNA fingerprinting

DNA Fingerprinting
Small DNA samples can be obtained from blood, hair, skin, or semen and copied millions of times using a technique called PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
The individuals DNA is cleaved with restriction enzymes and run through gel electrophoresis.
![Page 35: Appliedgenetics](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55503256b4c905de2d8b4f8e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
DNA Fingerprinting
The DNA fragments that separate in the gel can be compared with another sample to see if there is a match.
DNA is very distinct like a fingerprint. No two individuals have the same DNA
except Identical twins. In looking a child’s DNA half of the bands
will match the mother and the other half will match the father.
