Study Notes
Strategies of Genomic Structure Determination
- Structural genomics determines the structures of all genes or all protein fold families encoded by the genes of living organisms
- It begins with structure determination, then predicts their function
- Traditional structure prediction focuses on certain gene/s or its/their products, beginning with function of proteins, then predicts their structure
Definition of Structural Genomics
- Structural genomics is a field that studies the physical nature of the whole genome, including genetic and physical mapping as well as knowledge of nucleotide sequences
- It is also interested in knowing the three-dimensional structure of the proteome
Importance of Structural Genomics
- Molecular structure leads to function determination
- It represents the first step for the rest of applied science, such as genetic engineering and drug discovery
Steps in Structural Genomics
- Genome mapping
- Genetic map: order and location of markers assigned to chromosome based on linkage analysis
- Physical map: displays physical distance between genes
- Cytogenetic map: visual appearance of a chromosome when stained and examined under a microscope
- Sequence map
- Genome sequencing and assembly
- Genome annotation
Genome Mapping
- Mapping: process of comparing each read with the reference genome
- Assembly: aligning overlapping sequences to form a complete sequence
- Contig: contiguous sequence generated by overlapping series of sequence reads
- Scaffold: composed of contigs and gaps
- Read: DNA sequence from one fragment
Types of Maps
- Genetic map: shows order and location of genes and molecular markers on a chromosome
- Physical map: displays physical distance between genes
