Genome mapping involves assigning DNA fragments to chromosomes and providing a guide for sequencing. There are two main categories of mapping - genetic mapping which uses genetic techniques like cross-breeding experiments to construct maps showing gene positions, and physical mapping which examines DNA molecules directly to map sequence features. Genome maps have improved over time from early genetic maps using visible traits as markers, to newer techniques like restriction mapping and sequencing tagged sites that provide higher resolution maps needed for genome projects.
genome mapping
- 1. .
- 2. It is the creation of a genetic map assigning DNA fragments to chromosomes A genome map provides a guide for the sequencing experiments by showing the positions of genes and other distinctive features DNA sequencing has some major limitation – only 750 bp can be examined in a single experiment
- 3. • genome mapping methods can be divided into two categories. • Genetic mapping:uses genetic techniques to construct maps showing the positions of genes and other sequence features on a genome. Genetic techniques include cross-breeding experiments or, in the case of humans, the examination of family histories (pedigrees). • Physical mapping uses molecular biology techniques to examine DNA molecules directly in order to construct maps showing the positions of sequence features, including genes.

- 5. • The first genetic maps, constructed in the organisms such as the fruit fly, used genes as markers. • The only genes that could be studied were those specifying phenotypes that were distinguishable by visual examination. Eg. Eye color, height. • Some organisms have very few visual characteristics so gene mapping with these organisms has to rely on biochemical phenotypes
- 6. • ADE2 :Requires adenine ,Grows only when adenine is present in the medium • CAN1: Resistant to canavanine, Grows in the presence of canavanine • CUP1 :Resistant to copper ,Grows in the presence of copper • CYH1 :Resistant to cycloheximide, Grows in the presence of cycloheximide • LEU2 :Requires leucine ,Grows only when leucine is present in the medium • SUC2: Able to ferment sucrose, Grows if sucrose is the only carbohydrate in the medium • URA3: Requires uracil ,Grows only when uracil is present in the medium
- 7. • In human the biochemical phenotypes that can be scored by blood typing.These include the standard blood groups such as the ABO series and also the human leukocyte antigens (the HLA system). • A big advantage of these markers is that many of the relevant genes have multiple alleles. For example, the gene called HLA-DRB1 has at least 290 alleles and HLA-B has over 400.This is relevant because If all the family members have the same allele for the gene being studied then no useful information can be obtained.
- 8. Genes are very useful markers but they are by no means ideal. One problem, especially with larger genomes such as those of vertebrates and flowering plants, is that a map based entirely on genes is not very detailed
- 9. As with gene markers, a DNA marker must have at least two alleles to be useful.There are three types of DNA sequence feature that satisfy this requirement: restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs), and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
- 10. • The DNA molecule on the left has a polymorphic restriction site (marked with the asterisk) that is not present in the molecule on the right.The RFLP is revealed after treatment with the restriction enzyme because one of the molecules is cut into four fragments whereas the other is cut into three fragments.
- 11. • SSLPs are arrays of repeat sequences that display length variations, different alleles containing different numbers of repeat units • Unlike RFLPs that can have only two alleles, SSLPs can be multi-allelic as each SSLP can have a number of different length variants.There are two types of SSLP, both of which were described in • Minisatellites, also known as variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs), in which the repeat unit is up to 25 bp in length; • Microsatellites or simple tandem repeats (STRs), whose repeats are shorter, usually dinucleotide or tetranucleotide units.
- 12. • These are positions in a genome where some individuals have one nucleotide (e.g. a G) and others have a different nucleotide (e.g. a C)). There are vast numbers of SNPs in every genome, some of which also give rise to RFLPs, but many of which do not because the sequence in which they lie is not recognized by any restriction enzyme. In the human genome there are at least 1.42 million SNPs, only 100 000 of which result in an RFLP
- 13. Although each SNP could, potentially, have four alleles (because there are four nucleotides), most exist in just two forms, so these markers suffer from the same drawback as RFLPs with regard to human genetic mapping: there is a high possibility that a SNP does not display any variability in the family that is being studied.
- 14. • The advantages of SNPs are their abundant numbers and the fact that they can be typed by methods that do not involve gel electrophoresis.This is important because gel electrophoresis has proved difficult to automate so any detection method that uses it will be relatively slow and labor-intensive. SNP detection is more rapid because it is based on oligonucleotide hybridization analysis.
- 15. • An oligonucleotide is a short single-stranded DNA molecule, usually less than 50 nucleotides in length, that is synthesized in the test tube. If the conditions are just right, then an oligonucleotide will hybridize with another DNA molecule only if the oligonucleotide forms a completely base-paired structure with the second molecule. If there is a single mismatch - a single position within the oligonucleotide that does not form a base pair - then hybridization does not occur.
- 16. Oligonucleotide hybridization can therefore discriminate between the two alleles of an SNP.Various screening strategies have been devised including DNA chip technology and solution hybridization techniques.
- 17. • Chromosomes are inherited as intact units, so it was reasoned that the alleles of some pairs of genes will be inherited together because they are on the same chromosome.This is the principle of genetic linkage, • Pairs of genes were either inherited independently, as expected for genes in different chromosomes, or, if they showed linkage, then it was only partial linkage: sometimes they were inherited together and sometimes they were not
- 19. • the frequency with which the genes are unlinked by crossovers will be directly proportional to how far apart they are on their chromosome.The recombination frequency is therefore a measure of the distance between two genes • If you work out the recombination frequencies for different pairs of genes, you can construct a map of their relative positions on the chromosome
- 20. KEY CONCEPT Genes can be mapped to specific locations on chromosomes.
- 21. Morgan found that linked traits are on the same chromosome. Chromosomes, not genes, assort independently during meiosis. Wild type Mutant
- 22. Linked genes are not inherited together every time. • Chromosomes exchange homologous genes during meiosis.
- 23. The closer together two genes are, the more likely they will be inherited together. Cross-over frequencies are related to distances between genes. The higher the frequency, the further the genes are apart Linkage maps show the relative locations of genes.
- 24. • Cross-over frequencies can be converted into map units. • Ex: A 5% cross-over frequency equals 5 map units. – gene A and gene B cross over 6.0 percent of the time – gene B and gene C cross over 12.5 percent of the time – gene A and gene C cross over 18.5 percent of the time
- 25. A – B = 8% B – C = 10% A – C = 2% 8.0 2.0 B A C 8.0 + 2.0 = 10.0
- 26. • Imperfect pedigrees are analyzed statistically, using a measure called the lod score (Morton, 1955).This stands for logarithm of the odds that the genes are linked and is used primarily to determine if the two markers being studied lie on the same chromosome, in other words if the genes are linked or not. If the lod analysis establishes linkage then it can also provide a measure of the most likely recombination frequency
- 27. • The LOD score often used for linkage analysis in human populations, and also in animal and plant populations. Computerized LOD score analysis is a simple way to analyze complex family pedigrees in order to determine the linkage between Mendelian traits (or between a trait and a marker, or two markers). • The method briefly, works as follows: • Establish a pedigree • Make a number of estimates of recombination frequency • Calculate a LOD score for each estimate • The estimate with the highest LOD score will be considered the best estimate
- 28. The LOD score is calculated as follows: LOD = Z = Log10 probability of birth sequence with a given linkage probability of birth sequence with no linkage By convention, a LOD score greater than 3.0 is considered evidence for linkage. On the other hand, a LOD score less than -2.0 is considered evidence to exclude linkage.
- 29. A map generated by genetic techniques is rarely sufficient for directing the sequencing phase of a genome project.This is for two reasons: The resolution of a genetic map depends on the number of crossovers that have been scored. Genetic maps have limited accuracy
- 30. • Restriction mapping, which locates the relative positions on a DNA molecule of the recognition sequences for restriction endonucleases; • Fluorescentin situhybridization (FISH), in which marker locations are mapped by hybridizing a probe containing the marker to intact chromosomes; • Sequence tagged site (STS) mapping, in which the positions of short sequences are mapped by PCR and/or hybridization analysis of genome fragments.
- 31. The simplest way to construct a restriction map is to compare the fragment sizes produced when a DNA molecule is digested with two different restriction enzymes that recognize different target sequences.
- 33. • Restriction mapping is more applicable to small rather than large molecules, with the upper limit for the technique depending on the frequency of the restriction sites in the molecule being mapped. In practice, if a DNA molecule is less than 50 kb in length it is usually possible to construct an unambiguous restriction map for a selection of enzymes with six- nucleotide recognition sequences. • The limitations of restriction mapping can be eased slightly by choosing enzymes expected to have infrequent cut sites(rare cutter) in the target DNA molecule.
- 34. These ‘rare cutters' fall into two categories: Enzymes with seven- or eight-nucleotide recognition sequences Enzymes whose recognition sequences contain motifs that are rare in the target DNA
- 36. • FISH ( Heiskanen et al., 1996). As in optical mapping, FISH enables the position of a marker on a chromosome or extended DNA molecule to be directly visualized. In optical mapping the marker is a restriction site and it is visualized as a gap in an extended DNA fiber. In FISH, the marker is a DNA sequence that is visualized by hybridization with a fluorescent probe.
- 40. 40 A B C C B A B B AA C C Chromosome Inversions • Inversions = genetic rearrangements in which the order of genes in a chromosome segment is reversed • Inversions do not alter the genetic content but change the linear sequence of genetic information • In an inversion heterozygote, chromosomes twist into a loop in the region in which the gene order is inverted
- 41. 41 Paracentric inversion • Does not include centromere • Crossing-over produces one acentric (no centromere) and one dicentric (two centromeres) chromosome Pericentric inversion • Includes centromere • Crossing-over results in duplications and deletions of genetic information
- 42. 42 Reciprocal Translocations• Adjacent-2 segregation: homologous centromeres stay together at anaphase I; gametes have a segment duplication and deletion • Alternate segregation: half the gametes receive both parts of the reciprocal translocation and the other half receive both normal chromosomes; all gametes are euploid, i.e have normal genetic content, but half are translocation carriers
- 43. 43 Polyploidy • Polyploid species have multiple complete sets of chromosomes • The basic chromosome set, from which all the other genomes are formed, is called the monoploid set • The haploid chromosome set is the set of chromosomes present in a gamete, irrespective of the chromosome number in the species. • Polyploids can arise from genome duplications occurring before or after fertilization Through the formation of unreduced gametes that have double the normal complement of chromosomes or Through abortive mitotic division, called endoreduplication.
- 44. 44 Polyploids can generate new species
