What a big Genome Size?

• The 12 font size enables approximately 60
  nucleotides of DNA sequence to be written in a
  line 10 cm in length.
• Genome size total number of nucleotide base
  pairs.
• typically in millions of base pairs, or megabases
  abbreviated Mb or Mbp)

39
the human genome sequence would stretch for 5000
km, the distance from Montreal to London, Los
Angeles to Panama, Tokyo to Calcutta, Cape Town
to Addis Ababa, or Auckland to Perth
The sequence would fill about 3000 books the size
of book 600 pages size.

Genome size is not good indicator for genes number

• Space is saved in the genomes of less complex
  organisms because the genes are more closely
  packed together.

42
43
C-value paradox

• Correlation between the complexity of an
  organism and the size of its genome was looked on
  as a bit of a puzzle.

Genome Anatomy

Human Genome Anatomy

? Mitochondrial genome

46
Human Mitochondrial Genome Anatomy

• it is much smaller than the nuclear genome(17
  kB), and it contains just 37 genes.
• 13 code proteins and 24 specify non-coding RNA.
• do not contain intron.
• is typical of the mitochondrial genomes of other
  animals

• SINE
• LINES
• LTR
• DNA transposons

Nuclear Human Genome Anatomy genome-wide repeat
Minisatellite DNA

• we are familiar with because of its association
  with structural features of chromosomes.
• Telomeric DNA, which in humans comprises hundreds
  of copies of the motif 5'-TTAGGG-3'.

genome-wide repeat Microsatellite DNA

• microsatellites with a CA repeat, such as
• make up 0.25 of the genome, 8 Mb in all.
• Single base-pair repeats such as
• make up another 0.15.

Gene Classification Gene function

• This system has the advantage that the fairly
  broad functional categories used in can be
  further subdivided to produce a hierarchy of
  increasingly specific functional descriptions for
  smaller and smaller sets of genes.
• The weakness
• functions have not yet been
  assigned to many eukaryotic genes.

58
59
Gene Classification Gene function

• The gene catalog couldnt tell us why we are
  human?
• it may still not be possible simply from genome
  comparisons with the chimpanzee genome to
  determine what makes us human

59
60
Gene Classification Gene function

• The major categories of protein coding genes
  represent the most studied areas of cell biology,
  which means that many of the relevant genes can
  be recognized because their protein products are
  known.
• Genes whose products have not yet been identified
  are more likely to be involved in the less well
  studied areas of cellular activity.

60
61
Gene classification Protein Domain

• A more powerful method is to base the
  classification not on the functions of genes but
  on the structures of the proteins that they
  specify.
• A protein molecule is constructed from a series
  of domains, each of which has a particular
  biochemical function.
