    Study Notes

    Genetics and Genomics

    • Monomorphic and polymorphic are two types of genetic traits that can be identified through a three-point cross, which involves studying the inheritance of three genes that affect different traits, such as tail length, fur color, and whisker length.
    • Recombination frequencies can be calculated for each pair of loci in a three-point cross, similar to a dihybrid cross.

    Human Genome Project

    • The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international research project that aimed to sequence and map all the genes in the human genome, completed in 2003.
    • The project's goals included identifying and mapping around 20,000-25,000 genes, determining the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, and storing the information in databases.
    • The HGP also aimed to develop more efficient technologies for data analysis, allow private sector access to the information and technologies, and sequence the genomes of other medically important organisms.

    Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

    • NGS platforms, such as 454, Illumina, ABI's Solid, and Roche's 454 FLX, enable the sequencing of entire genomes in a few days at a very low cost.
    • NGS produces high-throughput data in the form of short reads, which can be used for various applications, including evolutionary studies, personalized medicine, and disease-susceptibility prediction.

    Genome Sequencing Technologies

    • 454 sequencing system uses a spray method to break DNA samples into small fragments, adds different adapters at both ends, and amplifies the DNA using emulsion PCR.
    • Illumina sequencing system uses a different method of DNA library preparation and amplification.

    AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism)

    • AFLP is a PCR-based molecular marker technique that combines RFLP and RAPD methods.
    • AFLP involves the PCR amplification of genomic restriction fragments generated by specific restriction enzymes and oligonucleotide adapters.
    • AFLP produces a DNA fingerprint without prior sequence knowledge, using a limited set of genetic primers.

    Genome Assembly and Annotation

    • Whole genome sequencing provides information about coding and non-coding parts of the genome.
    • Challenges in genome assembly and annotation include removal of artifacts, genome assembly, short read alignment, and annotation and validation.
    • De novo assembly strategies, such as SSAKE, Edena, and Velvet, are used to assemble genomes from short reads.

    Comparative Assembly

    • Comparative assembly involves merging assemblies from multiple genomes to produce a more accurate and complete sequence.
    • Comparative assembly can be used to identify divergent regions between genomes.

    Genome Annotation

    • Genome annotation is the process of attaching biological information to sequences, consisting of two main steps: identifying elements on the genome (structural annotation) and attaching biological information to these elements (functional annotation).
