Reviewing the basics Cells are the basic working unit of
an organism. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
contains all of the instruction needed to direct the activities in the cell.
DNA is arranged into chromosomes.
More reviewing Chromosomes are visible with high
powered microscopes.
Human Chromosomes Metaphase Chromosome
Chromosomes are Dynamic Structures

More review Chromosomes contain hundreds of
genes encoded within their DNA. Genes compromise a very small
percentage of the DNA that makes up the chromosome, <5% generally.
DNA containing genes is called euchromatin.
Heterochromatin Non-genic DNA is called
heterochromatin. Heterochromatin and euchromatin
stain differently. This difference causes the bands
we see in a karyotype.
Human karyotype
Genome composition Euchromatin (genes) usually
contains a higher proportion of GC. Euchromatin has more unique DNA
sequences. Heterochromatin (non-coding)
usually contains a higher proportion of AT.
Heterochromatin contains more repetitive sequence.s
DNA Content The amount of heterochromatin varies
dramatically between organisms. Much of the difference in DNA content
among closely related organisms is often due to changes in heterochromatin amount. Maize 2500 Mb Wheat 16,000 Mb Rice 430 Mb Mb=Mega base pairs

What is genomics? The study of the entire DNA
complement of an individual. The term genome refers to all of
the DNA contained in one copy of the chromosomes of an organism.
It contains both coding (genes) and non-coding DNA sequences.
The Genome Nearly every cell in an organims
contains a full copy of the genome. Most mammal cells contain two
complete copies of the genome. Skin Lung Heart
The Genome II Gametic cells like sperm, ovules,
or pollen contain one copy of the genome.
Some special cell types contain more than two copies of the genome. Human bone marrow Regenerating liver cells
Plant Genome Corn plants contain two copies of
the genome in their cells except for pollen, ovules, and endosperm (the fleshy part of the corn kernel).
Pollen and ovules have one copy of the genome.
Endosperm has three copies.
Plant Genome Other plants like corn include:
Arabidopsis Barley Beans Tomato Pepper Rice
Multicopy Plant Genomes Some plants normally have more
than two copies of the genome in their cells. Wheat – six copies Potato – four copies Sugarcane – >twelve copies Strawberry – >eight copies Banana – three copies Watermelon – three copies
Chromosome number The term haploid refers to the base
number of chromosomes in an organism.
Diploid cells have two copies of all the chromosomes.
Bacteria usually have one circularchromosome and no nucleus
Organisms with nuclei have variable numbers of chromosomes depending on the species:
• Mosquito 6• Chimpanzees 48• Goldfish 94
How Many Chromosomes Are There?
Some plants have few chromosomes like Arabidopsis.
Others, like sugarcane, have many.

How many genes? The number of genes varies
between organisms. Humans – 30,000 to 40,000 Maize – 55,000 Most genes between closely
related species are conserved. Many genes between less closely
related species are conserved.
The human genome project Complete DNA sequence Understand the sequence variation
between individuals. Understand the function of genes. Compare the sequences to other
related organisms. Study the ethical, legal and social
implications.

Insight from the human genome draft sequence
Protein coding region <2%. Repetitive DNA minimum of 50%. Genes are randomly distributed. 3X as many proteins as Drosophila
or C. elegans because of post-transcriptional modifications.
Insight from the human genome draft sequence II
Humans, C. elegans, Drosophila, and plants have most of the same proteins.
There are 2X as many germline mutations in males vs. females.
DNA sequence between two individuals is almost identical.
Only 0.1% of sequence is different.
Where do we go from here? Gene Expression Proteomics Structural genomics Mutagenesis Comparative genomics
Medicine and the New Genomics Gene Testing Gene Therapy Pharmacogenomics
Human Genome Program, U.S. Department of Energy, Genomics and Its Impact on Medicine and Society: A 2001 Primer, 2001
•improved diagnosis of disease •earlier detection of genetic predispositions to disease •rational drug design •gene therapy and control systems for drugs •personalized, custom drugs
Anticipated Benefits
Ethical Considerations Privacy/confidentiality Reproductive issues Accuracy of genetic testing Access to technology Genetically modified foods and
microbes Commercialization/Patents
Benefits of Genomics Improved diagnostic tools. Rational drug design. Rapid identification of pathogens. Better understanding of
mutagenesis. DNA forensics Improved agricultural products
Plant Genome Projects Initiative began in 1998. Arabidopsis was the first model
plant. Small genome size. Little repetitive DNA. Short life cycle.
Arabidopsis 2010 Project Complete sequence of Arabidopsis
in 2000. 2010 Project started in 2001. Goal was to determine the function
of the 25,000 genes in Arabidopsis by the year 2010 (ie. functional genomics of Arabidopsis).
